정규직/비정규직 근로자 여부와 직장만족도의 관계 : 청년층의 집단별 차이에 관한 비교

In terms of expanding the flexibility of the labor market and short-term cost savings, irregular workers are spreading, and the discrimination between regular and irregular workers is becoming a big issue. Therefore, this study empirically analyzes the relationship between regular/irregular workers and job satisfaction. Particularly, young workers who participated in the labor market for the first time or had relatively low experience are selected for the study, because they could be different from the irregular worker problems of all ages. This study uses the Youth Panel data from Korea Employment Information Service, and selects a total of 16,293 samples (workers) from 2013 to 2016. As a result, it shows that regular workers have higher job satisfaction than irregular workers, which is consistent with the results of previous research. Besides, three groups are analyzed for final education, required skill level, and consensus of major. In the group with the low level of final education, required skill level, and consensus of major, the regular workers show higher job satisfaction than the irregular workers. However, in the case of the high group, there is no effect on job satisfaction by the regular/irregular workers. This study is meaningful in that the differences among groups are compared in relation to regular/irregular workers and job satisfaction, and it can be used as a basic data for preparing policies to solve the problem of irregular workers.
