본 연구는 실직의 유형을 자발적 실직과 비자발적 실직의 두 유형으로 구분하고 두 유형에서 정신건강과 구직활동 관련 변인에서 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보는데 목적이 있었다. 실직한 지 2개월 이내의 실직자 가운데 비자발적 실직자 1083명과 자발적 실직자 557명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 분석결과 비자발적 실직자의 정신건강이 더 나쁜 것으로 나타났으며, 구직활동 관련 변인에서는 구직강도가 더 강한 것으로 나타났다. 구직명확성과 구직효능감에서는 집단간 차이가 없었다. 결과의 의의와 제한점을 논의하였다.
This study was intended to examine differences in mental health and job-search related variables between voluntary and involuntary unemployed individuals. Among people who had been unemployed for less than 2 months, 1083 involuntary unemployed individuals and 557 voluntary unemployed individuals were surveyed. Results showed that involuntary unemployed individuals had significantly higher scores on depression, anxiety, psychosomatic, and KGHQ, supporting hypothesis 1. Involuntary unemployed individuals had a significantly higher score on job intensity. However, there was no significant difference in job-search self-efficacy between two groups. Thus, hypothesis 2 was partially supported. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
