코로나19 상황에서 전문직업성, 직무스트레스, 조직몰입에 관한 연구-병원급 의료기관종사자들을 중심으로-

This study investigates the effects of professionalization on medical institution workers’ job stress and organizational commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on Hall’s (1968) five attitudinal attributes of professionalism: the use of the professional organization as a major reference, belief in service to the public, belief in self-regulation, sense of calling to the field, and autonomy. Specifically, this study examines (1) the effects of the five attributes of professionalism on job stress and organizational commitment, (2) the effects of job stress on organizational commitment, and (3) the differences in the level of professionalism, job stress, and organizational commitment by occupation. Survey responses collected from 180 medical institution workers between November 1 and 7, 2022 were analyzed. The results show that (1) the higher the belief in self-regulation and autonomy, the lower the job stress; (2) the higher the use of the professional organization as a major reference and sense of calling to the field, the higher the organizational commitment; and (3) the higher the job stress, the lower the organizational commitment. Furthermore, four of the five attitudinal attributes of professionalism as well as organizational commitment significantly varied by occupation.
