비정규직의 이직의사와 이직행위에 대한 연구:정규직과의 비교를 중심으로

Nonstandard workers have rapidly been increased for the last decade. Companies using these workers pursue both saving labor costs and increasing labor flexibility. The current research on these workers, however, staggered on the definition, the size, and the protection of them. Also, the studies on job satisfaction and intent to leave has focused on regular workers. This paper is an effort to answer the following questions: For nonstandard workers, does low job satisfaction increase the intent to leave the company? Also, does high intent to leave the company increase the separation behavior of nonstandard workers? And are these relationships different from those for regular workers? The results based on 1,117 nonstandard workers and 1,743 regular workers collected by Korean Labor Institute on the year 2000 and 2001 showed that: (1) for nonstandard workers, the lower the job satisfaction level, the higher the intent to leave the company and (2) for nonstandard workers, the intent to leave is not statistically related to the separation behavior of workers. These results are same to regular workers. These results imply that: (1) the relationship between job satisfaction and the intent to leave is similar to both nonstandard and regular workers; (2) the separation behavior is related to the type of employment; and (3) The determinants on the intent to leave and the separation behavior are different between nonstandard and regular workers.
