다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the relationships among childcare teachers’ grit, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction, and investigated the extent to which grit and organizational commitment predict job satisfaction. A survey was administered to 294 childcare teachers employed at childcare centers in Jeollanam-do, Korea, between February 10 and February 28, 2025. Grit, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction were assessed using structured self-report questionnaires.Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. Reliability analysis was conducted using Cronbach’s alpha, followed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed statistically significant positive correlations among childcare teachers’ grit, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, regression analysis demonstrated that both grit and organizational commitment exerted significant positive effects on job satisfaction, indicating meaningful explanatory power. These findings confirmed that childcare teachers’ personal perseverance and psychological attachment to their organization are critical factors influencing job satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of institutional strategies that foster both individual resilience and organizational commitment in order to enhance teachers’ professional well-being and retention.
