직무분석을 통한 평생교육기관 유형별 평생교육사 직무특성에 관한 연구

Job analysis is a significant management activity in every organization. However, with increasing competition, shorter product life-cycles, rapid technological innovations, and the changing nature of organizational structures, its underlying assumptions are becoming increasingly questionable in today's dynamic work environment. Moreover, the methods used by traditional job analysis are simply not applicable to many new and emerging jobs and some researchers feel it may even be an obstacle to organizational success. 'Lifelong Education Consultants(LECs)', the key actors in successfully implementing lifelong education policies and its programs in Korea, are facing challenge: various educational needs from adult learners, policy changes at local and central governments, professional development, and so on. This has led to calls for a more proactive and strategic approach to job analysis so that the procedures will continue to be relevant. This study using 3D job analysis method examined the impact of job analysis on 56 'Lifelong Education Consultants' performance in eight major lifelong education organizations across the nation. This study shows: (1) some of the major jobs of the LECs are program development, instructional support, management of the organization; (2) the key KSAs are listed in order of priority such as environment analysis and need analysis, planning, program development; (3) the priority of the key KSAs differs from the types of lifelong education institutions. Therefore, the results of the study imply that a job analysis needs to be conducted on the basis of the type of the organizations along with an activity-based job analysis.
