초록

본 연구는 외적동기로 직장을 선택한 사회초년생이 직업에 적응하는 과정을 탐색하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 외적동기로 직장을 선택한 사회초년생 11명을 대상으로 근거이론 방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 128개의 개념, 43개의 하위범주, 15개의 범주가 도출되었다. 중심현상은 ‘현실의 벽에 혼란스러움’이었고, 인과적 조건은 ‘외적동기에 의한 취업’, ‘직장생활에 대한 기대’로 나타났다. 맥락적 조건은 ‘기대와 다른 조직 환경’, ‘선배에 대한 환상이 깨짐’, ‘업무수행의 좌절’이었고, 중재적 조건은 ‘자신과 맞는 업무 환경’, ‘유대관계 수립’, ‘심리적·경제적 보상’, ‘상사 및 선배의 코칭 행동’으로 나타났다. 작용/상호작용은 ‘인식의 변화’, ‘업무역량 향상을 위한 노력’, ‘내적 정서 자기조절’로 나타났다. 결과는 ‘내적 성장’, ‘업무수행 능력의 성장’, ‘조화로운 직장생활’로 나타났다. 핵심범주는 ‘새로운 환경 속에서 흔들림을 극복하여 성장과 균형에 다가감’으로 나타났다. 연구결과에 기초하여 논의와 제한점을 제시하였다.

The aim of this study was to explore the process of adjustment among young adults to a new work environment. For this, 11 participants who chose their jobs based on extrinsic motivation were interviewed and data was analyzed using grounded theory. The analysis revealed 128 concepts, 43 subcategories, and 15 categories that emerged from the data. The central phenomenon identified among the participants were ‘confusion due to the barrier of reality’. Casual conditions such as ‘employment based on extrinsic motivation’ and ‘expectations of work life’ were reported. Contextual conditions, including ‘unexpected work environment’, ‘high expectations of superiors are broken,’ and ‘frustration from low work performance due to lack of skills,’ were also identified. Intervention conditions, such as a ‘suitable work environment,’ ‘close bonds among coworkers,’ ‘psychological and economic rewards,’ and ‘superiors and senior coaching behaviors’ were found to be helpful. The strategies employed by participants included ‘perception change,’ ‘efforts to improve work skills,’ and ‘inner emotion self-regulation.’ As a result, participants reported ‘mental growth,’ ‘improvement in work performance,’ and a ‘wholesome work experience’. The study concluded that ‘approaching growth and balance via overcoming the tremulous new environment’ was the key category. Based on the results of this study, significance and implications were presented.
