공채, 연고추천채용 및 인턴제와의 비교를 통한 장기현장실습제의 채용효과 연구: 중소·중견기업 인력채용제도로서의 적합성 탐색

The current study examined employee staffing effectiveness of cooperative education program(Co-op). We compared various dimensions of staffing effectiveness of Co-op with those of open selection, referral recruitment and internship. For the examination, we conducted a qualitative analysis involving person-to-person interviews with HR managers and Co-op supervisors. In addition, we conducted a quantitative analysis with survey data, to compare staffing effectiveness of each recruiting source, and to confirm the statistical significances of the differences. In the first study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with questions about and around various benefits of recruiting through Co-op, characteristics of new hires from Co-op, and comparison of Co-op with the other recruiting sources. Then the recorded interview scripts were analyzed by using NVivo10. In the second study, we collected survey responses of HR managers and Co-op supervisors. Regarding each of the four recruiting sources, the respondents evaluated new hires’ organizational adaptation to organization, drive at work, job satisfaction, organizational commitment as well as the degrees of staffing and training cost saving. The results showed that Co-op saved staffing and training costs to the larger extent than the other recruiting sources, and new hires from Co-op showed higher level of adaptation to organization, drive at work, job satisfaction and organizational commitments, than new hires from the other recruiting sources. The current study suggest Co-op as a new alternative recruiting source that can help small and medium-sized companies overcome the chronic problem of labor shortage.
