경찰공무원의 분배적 공정성과 직무만족 관계성 연구: 자기효능감 매개효과를 중심으로

Abstract

Police organizations play an important role in protecting the lives and property of citizens and maintaining order and safety in society, but police officials are often exposed to high levels of job stress and dangerous situations, which negatively affect mental health and job satisfaction. In recent years, mental health problems such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicide of police officials have emerged seriously, and low salaries and economic burdens are also major factors that degrade job satisfaction. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of distributive fairness perceived by police officials on job satisfaction and to derive policy implications for improving the job satisfaction of police officials by verifying the mediating effect of self-efficacy (general, social) in this relationship. To this end, a survey was conducted on 200 police officials in northern Gyeonggi Province and an empirical analysis was conducted using the SPSS Macro Process. As a result of the study, first, distributive fairness had a significant positive (+) effect on job satisfaction. It was confirmed that job satisfaction tended to increase as police officials perceived that they received fair compensation within the organization. Second, distributive fairness did not have a significant effect on general self-efficacy and social self-efficacy. This suggests the possibility that factors other than fairness perception are involved in the formation of self-efficacy. Third, the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between distributive fairness and job satisfaction was not statistically significant. Therefore, this study confirmed that distributive fairness is an important factor in enhancing job satisfaction in police organizations, and suggests that a fair compensation system is established and policy improvements are needed for police officials to feel that their contributions are properly evaluated and compensated.
