다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was to measure the degree of job stress and sociopsychological stress of correctional officer working at correctional facilities and analyze the relationship between job stress and mental health, through self-administered questionnaire survey on 301 male correctional officer working at correctional facilities located in a metropolitan city, between September 21st and October 20th 2005.
Question items of the questionnaire consist of general characteristics, job stress, and sociopsychological stress. Job Stress Measurement Scale for Koreans was used to measure job stress, while PWI (PWI-SF) used for sociopsychological stress. Collected data was analyzed through frequency analysis, χ^(2)-test, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, multi-regression analysis using a statistic program, SPSS/10.0 Ver for Windows. The results of the study are summarized as follows:
1. Job stress was found to vary by division; those of security division showed higher job stress than administrative staff. There was a statistically significant difference in working years of 10 to 19 years, 0 to 9 years, and 20 to 39 years, respectively (p <0.01).
2. In the distribution of sociopsychological stress factors by general characteristics, psychological scores of those in grade 7 or higher were higher than those in 8 grade or lower, while in terms of division, administrative staff showed higher job stress than those of security division in psychological score, with statistically significant difference (p<0.01).
3. In the distribution of sociopsychological stress degree by general characteristics, concerning division where they belong, those of security division showed higher degree at 72.4% than that of administrative staff at 27.6% with a significant difference (p<0.01). In terms of age, those at the age of 40 to 59 were higher at 64.1% than that of those at the age of 20 to 39 at 35.9%, with no significant difference, and educational background, position, and working years showed no significant difference.
4. In the distribution of sociopsychological stress by general characteristics, in terms of division, those of security division showed higher at 72.4% than that of administrative staff at 27.6% with a significant difference (p<0.01). In terms of age, educational background, position, and working years showed no significant differences.
5. In the distribution between sociopsychological stress and job stress, higher job stress was found in health and potential stress group, while high-risk group showed lower job stress, which implies that there is a significant difference between sociopsychological stress and job stress.
6. In terms of correlation between job stress score and 7 job stress factors, organizational system factor showed the strongest positive correlation with job stress score at coefficient 0.726, followed by incomplete reward factor (coefficient 0.701) and relational conflict factor (coefficient 0.643), workplace culture factor (coefficient 0.627), job request level factor(coefficient 0.530), and job instability factor(coefficient 0.402) in order. However, there was no strong correlation in the area of worker ratio factor (coefficient 0.142) and so on. There was a significant negative correlation (coefficient -0.462) in the correlation between the scores of job stress and sociopsychological stress score (p<0.05).
7. As a result of multi-regression analysis on the decisive factors of job stress, division was found to be the variable with significant effect, while age, educational background, position, and working years were insignificant. In short, job stress degree of security division workers was higher than that of administrative staff.
8. Results of multi-regression analysis on decisive factors of sociopsychological stress, degree of job stress, incomplete reward, and position were identified as the variables having a significant effect. On the other hand, job request, job autonomy, relational conflict, job instability, organizational system, workplace culture, age, educational background, division, and working years had no significant effects. Namely, the higher the job stress degree is, and the worse the incomplete reward gets, the lower sociopsychological stress while the higher the position is, the higher sociopsychological stress.
It is necessary to conduct repeated studies in the future, since the study implied that there was a contrary relationship between job stress and sociopsychological stress. In order to reduce job stress and maintain better mental health, it is more important than anything else to help correctional officer have willingness and efforts to sustain a healthy life, so development of various programs and education to raise their awareness should be implemented.
