군 조직에 있어서 직무스트레스 요인이 전투역량에 미치는 영향과 직무만족의 매개효과

Following the Defense Reform Plan 2030 to greatly increase the number of non-commissioned officers(NCOs) from 116,000 to 152,000. the importance of elementary level NCOs, making up 33% of military executive members, will also rise dramatically. These elementary level NCOs, in the course of experiencing different kinds of job stress under the distinct command structure characteristic of military organizations, may affect its combat capabilities on the whole. For this reason, this study observed the effect of job stressors on the organizational ability, i. e. combat capabilities of the military and the mediating role of job satisfaction. The analysis of corroborative evidence is as follows. Firstly, of the factors inducing job stress, only conflict in duty proves a minus to combat capabilities, and ambiguity and excessiveness in duty does not. Secondly, all factors of job stress has a negative effect on job satisfaction. Thirdly, job satisfaction has a positive effect in regard to combat capabilities. Fourthly, job satisfaction has a mediating role between combat capabilities and job stressors. This shows that ambiguity and excessiveness in duty only affects combat capabilities indirectly by affecting job satisfaction, but conflict in duty has both a direct effect and an indirect effect through mediating variables. Since job stressors contain both direct and indirect effects to combat capabilities, this study suggests management measures to lower factors of job stress. The limits of the study and future research points were discussed based on th results.
