In this study, we investigate the impact of interpersonal stress on office workers' job involvement and job satisfaction, and explore how resilience is regulated in this relationship.
For this study, a survey was conducted targeting employees of domestic small and medium-sized businesses from July 27 to August 11, 2023, and analysis was conducted using the SPSS 22.0 statistical analysis package with a total of 209 response samples.
The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of testing the causal relationship between the impact of interpersonal stress (supervisors, colleagues, subordinates, and customers) on job engagement, the results showed that, excluding the relationship between subordinate relationship stress and job engagement, the remaining subvariable stress was related to job engagement. It was found that (-) had little influence.
Second, as a result of testing the causal relationship between the impact of interpersonal stress on job satisfaction, interpersonal stress was found to have a negative effect on job satisfaction.
Third, interpersonal stress and job involvement were found to have a positive (+) significant impact on job satisfaction.
Fourth, as a result of verifying the moderating effect of resilience on the impact of interpersonal stress on job engagement, it was found that the effect of supervisory stress on job engagement was moderated by resilience.
Fifth, as a result of verifying the moderating effect of resilience in the impact of interpersonal stress on job satisfaction, it can be seen that only supervisory stress is moderated in the impact on job satisfaction by resilience.
The implications of this study on the impact of interpersonal stress on job involvement and job satisfaction of small and medium-sized business members are as follows.
First, it is necessary to prepare and actively implement measures to strengthen the job immersion of small and medium-sized business members according to the characteristics of the company and industry. In particular, in small and medium-sized businesses, employees' job immersion is closely related to turnover intention and job performance, so an environment in which employees can immerse themselves in their jobs must be created at the corporate level.
Second, since job satisfaction of internal and external satisfaction forms a significant positive relationship between life satisfaction and subjective happiness of positive emotions (Hwang Hye-won, 2014), job satisfaction can reduce interpersonal stress and improve job satisfaction. It can be a strengthening factor. However, because small and medium-sized businesses have different working environments from large corporations, they were unable to create autonomy such as a family support culture and flexible working hours. Therefore, small and medium-sized businesses should strive to improve job satisfaction by creating a friendly culture to foster positive emotions in employees.
third. In order to reduce the interpersonal stress of small and medium-sized office workers, measures to increase communication with superiors should be actively reviewed. There is a need for specific measures to develop and support programs that encourage cooperation among employees.
Lastly, by empirically verifying the effect of interpersonal stress of small and medium-sized business members on job satisfaction through job immersion, basic data confirms the need for counseling programs and counselors related to interpersonal stress within the organization to increase job satisfaction of small and medium-sized business members. It is expected that it will be utilized.
