Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 경력성공과 삶의 만족 관계에서 주관적 경력성공이 객관적 경력성공보다 그 영향력이 지배적임을 규명하면서 특히, 다차원적인 주관적 경력성공에 초점을 맞추어 성별 및 연령대별로 삶의 만족에 대한 영향력 차이를 분석하였다. 국내 직장인 544명을 대상으로 한 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 객관적 경력성공과 주관적 경력성공은 각각 삶의 만족에 유의한 영향을 주며, 삶의 만족에 대한 주관적 경력성공의 효과는 객관적 경력성공의 효과를 넘어서는 증분효과를 갖는다. 둘째, 주관적 경력성공의 다차원 중에서 ‘경제적 성취’, ‘독립적 근로’, ‘일과 삶의 균형’은 남성의 삶의 만족에 긍정적으로 유의하고 ‘학습과 개발’, ‘일과 삶의 균형’은 여성의 삶의 만족에 긍정적으로 유의하다. 셋째, 연령대별 차이를 살펴보면 장년층에게는 ‘경제적 성취’가, 중년층에게는 ‘학습과 개발,’ ‘일과 삶의 균형,’ 그리고 ‘경제적 안정’이, 청년층에게는 ‘일과 삶의 균형’과 ‘사회적 영향력’이 삶의 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 이 연구의 결과들은 이론적으로 경력성공, 삶의 만족, 일과 삶의 균형 주제의 연구 분야에 많은 기여를 할 것이며, 실무적으로는 직장인의 경력개발 프로그램을 설계하는데 실질적인 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다. 끝으로 이 연구의 한계점을 언급하면서 향후 이를 극복하는 연구방향을 제시하였다.The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between career success and life satisfaction. Specifically, this study first aims at examining the augmentation effect of subjective career success on life satisfaction beyond the effect of objective career success. Second, this study examines the gender-specific and the age-specific effects of multiple dimensions of subjective career success on life satisfaction. Hierarchical regression was used to test these ideas. The results from the data of 544 Korean workers showed that subjective career success contributes incrementally to the prediction of life satisfaction beyond objective career success. The findings regarding the gender and the age differences in the relationship between subjective career success and life satisfaction are twofold. First, among the multiple dimensions of subjective career success, ‘financial achievement,’ ‘independent work,’ and ‘work-life balance’ were identified as significant predictors of life satisfaction for male workers; while ‘learning & development’ and ‘work-life balance’ significantly predicted female workers’ life satisfaction. Second, the relationship between each dimension of subjective career success and life satisfaction revealed some difference according to their age level. Specifically, ‘financial achievement’ was identified as a significant predictor of life satisfaction for the age group of 50+, ‘work-life balance,’ ‘financial stability,’ and ‘learning & development’ significantly predicted the life satisfaction of the age group between 36 and 49, and for the age group of 35 and below, ‘social impact’ and ‘work-life balance’ were identified as significant dimensions of subjective career success. Theoretically, these findings contribute to the literature on life satisfaction and career success, as well as the literature on work-life balance. The findings also highlight that multiple dimensions of subjective career success can help the HR practitioners to better develop their career development programs. We end the paper by outlining some limitations of the study and by proposing possible future research directions.
