일머리 개념의 교육학적 재구성과 산업 현장 역량모델 개발 = Educational Reframing of Ilmeori and the Development of an Industry-Based Workplace Competency Model

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Korean organizational settings, Ilmeori is a widely used yet informally defined term referring to an individual’s intuitive capacity to get work done effectively. It encompasses a blend of practical judgment, problem-solving ability, and interpersonal skills that are highly valued in real-world professional contexts. However, despite its relevance in industry, Ilmeori remains absent from academic discourse, limiting efforts to incorporate it into structured education and assessment frameworks. This study aims to bridge that gap by reinterpreting Ilmeori through an educational lens and constructing a competency model that captures its essence while ensuring it can be taught and evaluated. The research unfolded in two stages. First, in-depth interviews with industry practitioners, alongside a thorough literature review, helped identify the key elements that constitute Ilmeori. In the second phase, a Delphi study involving HR professionals and education experts was conducted to refine and validate the proposed model. The final model consists of four overarching competency domains—problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and character—supported by 17 sub-competencies and 34 observable behavioral indicators. What distinguishes this work is not only its attempt to academically ground a culturally embedded workplace concept, but also its potential to inform competency-based curriculum design in higher education. By conceptualizing Ilmeori as an educationally actionable construct, this study lays a foundation for more practice-aligned learning outcomes, targeted training programs, and more meaningful evaluation standards. It also opens pathways for future research into diagnostic tools, teaching strategies, and faculty development initiatives that align with the real demands of the workplace.
