직무자원으로서의 근무시간 자율성의 완충효과: 직무요구에 따른 매칭가설 검증

This study empirically examined the moderating effects of the work time autonomy on the relation ships between job demands and job stress with the sample of 383 followers in private companies. Job demands include quantitative job demand and qualitative job demands, and qualitative job demands include role ambiguity and role conflict. Quantitative job demand consists of workload and time pressure. This analyses are based on the matching hypothesis of DISC(demand-induced strain compensation) model, which argues that each job demand and job resource has various dimensions respectively, and the buffering effect usually exists when the dimension of job demand and the dimension of job resource are matched. This study also empirically examined the relationship between job stress and the turnover intention of the follower. First of all, the empirical examination confirmed the matching hypothesis as follows. The work time autonomy mitigated the positive relationship between quantitative job demand and job stress of the follower. The buffering effect of work time autonomy on the relationship between quantitative job demand and job stress was greater than its buffering effect on the relationship between role ambiguity and job stress of the follower, and also was greater than its buffering effect on the relationship between role conflict and job stress of the follower. Second, the role ambiguity had no relationship with the job stress of the follower. Third, the job stress induced the turnover intention of the follower. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided.
