조직 내 사회자본이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구: 직무만족도의 매개효과를 중심으로

초록

Since the regional study conducted by Robert Putnam, social capital theory has widely spread over the social science field, empirically verifying the useful framework of social phenomena. Social capital has a crucial role in solving the social problems in the Fourth Industrial Revolution period. In Korean society, especially, the deepening of individualistic tendencies weakens the sense of belonging and solidarity of individuals in organizations. So it can be said that interest and research on social capital should be continued. In this study, we empirically explore to find out how social capital affects the job satisfaction and quality of life of employees in public organizations that have a conservative organizational culture compared to the private sector. In order to analyze social capital, we focus on the relationship between employees’ social capital measured by trust, network, and norms, and job satisfaction/quality of life. Our analytical results show that job satisfaction was found to be a variable that completely mediated between social capital such as trust and norms and quality of life. Social capital was found to be a factor that indirectly influenced the quality of life only through the parameter of job satisfaction within the organization. Trust and norms were found to be positive factors for job satisfaction and quality of life, but network was not found to be statistically significant. Also, it was found that job satisfaction is a significant variable that affects the quality of life. Based on analytical results, we have discussed theoretical and practical implications in the paper.
