Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution is expected to bring about great changes in information technology sector and create a variety of jobs. However, the psychological anxiety of IT staff is increasing due to stress and uncertainty created by the new technologies. Accordingly, researchers examined how professional identity moderate the effect of job stress of system maintenance staff on emotion exhaustion. For empirical studies, data was collected from 160 employees responsible for managing and supporting IS, and the hypothesis was verified using SPSS 21. The analysis results showed that role conflicts, role ambiguity, and qualitative work overload, which are components of job stress, have affected the emotion exhaustion. Professional identity had a moderating effect the relationship between qualitative work overload and emotion exhaustion. On the other hand, professional identity did not moderate the relationship between role conflict and emotion exhaustion, role ambiguity and emotion exhaustion. As professional identity lessen the psychological burden and emotion exhaustion of introducing new technologies, organizations need to provide support to enhance professional identity for system maintenance staff.

4차 산업혁명은 정보통신 분야에 큰 변화를 가져오고 그로 인해 다양한 일자리가 창출될 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 신기술 등장에 따른 직무 스트레스와 불확실성으로 IT 인력의 심리적 불안감은 증대되고 있다. 연구자는 전문직 정체성이 정보시스템(IS) 운영인력의 직무 스트레스와 정서적 소진을 어떻게 조절하는지 살펴보았다. 실증연구를 위해 정보시스템 관리 및 지원업무를 담당하는 160명을 대상으로 설문을 배포하여 데이터를 수집하였고, SPSS 21을 사용하여 가설을 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 직무 스트레스의 구성요소인 역할갈등, 역할모호, 질적 업무과부하는 정보시스템 운영인력의 정서적 소진에 영향을 미쳤으며, 전문직 정체성은 질적 업무과부하와 정서적 소진의 관계를 조절하고 있었다. 반면, 전문직 정체성은 역할갈등과 정서적 소진, 역할모호와 정서적 소진의 관계를 조절하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 전문직 정체성이 신기술 도입에 따른 심리적 부담과 정서적 소진을 조절하는 만큼, 조직에서는 개개인의 전문직 정체성을 높이기 위한 지원을 제공해야 할 것이다.
