본 연구는 자녀가 있는 기혼직장여성들을 대상으로 진로지속동기와 사회적지지(배우자지지, 회사지지)에 따른 군집유형을 파악하고, 각 군집들 간 일-가정 균형감과 삶의 만족도에서 차이를 보이는지 확인하고자 하였다. 첫째 아이가 12세(초등학생) 이하이며 동시에 전일제로 근무하는 기혼직장여성 492명을 대상으로 진로지속동기 척도, 배우자 지지 척도, 회사 지지 척도, 일-가정 균형감 척도, 삶의 만족도 척도를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, ‘평균동기-평균배우자/회사지지형’, ‘경력유지동기-낮은배우자/회사지지형’, ‘생계추구형동기-낮은배우자/높은회사지지형’, ‘다중동기-낮은사회적지지형’, ‘자율/내재동기-평균배우자/높은회사지지형’, ‘자율/가사회피동기-낮은배우자/평균회사지지형’과 같은 6개의 군집이 도출되었다. 둘째, 각 군집별 일-가정 균형감과 삶의 만족도 차이를 확인한 결과, 일-가정 균형감에서는 군집 5(자율/내재동기-평균배우자/높은회사지지형)가 다른 집단에 비해 높은 수준을 보였으며, 군집 2(경력유지동기-낮은배우자/회사지지형)와 군집 4(다중동기-낮은사회적지지형)가 유의하게 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 그리고 삶의 만족도에서는 군집 5(자율/내재동기-평균배우자/높은회사지지형)가 유의하게 높았고, 군집 2(경력유지 동기-낮은배우자/회사지지형), 군집 3(생계추구형동기-낮은배우자/높은회사지지형)이 유의하게 낮음을 확인하였다. 이를 토대로 각 군집의 특성에 대한 해석과 연구의 의의 및 제한점에 대해 논의하였다.
This study examined cluster types based on career persistence motivations and social supports of married working women and to determine whether they showed differences in work-family balance and life satisfaction among each cluster. The presence of six clusters is revealed by the result from a cluster analysis with 492 female married women whose first child is under 12 years old and who work full time at the same time. The main results are as follows. First, cluster analysis revealed six subgroups of married working women with children; Average motivation - average spouse/company support type, Career maintenance motivation - low spouse/company support type, livelihood-seeking motivation - low spouse/high company support type, Multiple motivation - low social support type, Autonomy/intrinsic motivation - average spouse/high company support type, Autonomy/housework avoidance motivation - low spouse/average company support type. Second, as a result of confirming the difference of work-family balance and life satisfaction of each cluster, cluster 5(Autonomy/intrinsic motivation - average spouse/high company support type) was higher than other groups in work-family balance, and cluster 2(Career maintenance motivation - low spouse/company support type) and cluster 4(Multiple motivation - low social support type) were significantly lower. In the life satisfaction, cluster 5(Autonomy/intrinsic motivation - average spouse/high company support type) was significantly higher, and cluster 2(Career maintenance motivation - low spouse/company support type) and cluster 3(livelihood-seeking motivation - low spouse/high company type) were significantly lower. Based on this, the interpretation of characteristics of each cluster and the implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
