다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is to present the direction to efficiently manage human resources, and to reinforce the capability of employees by inducing job satisfaction and organizational commitment based on the empowerment for the employed working in the elderly nursing facilities. It is indicated as a whole that LMX has a significant effect on the components of empowerment including right and ability, significance and competence. As well, the early mentioned significance and competence influence job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Job satisfaction, in turn, seems to have a significant impact on organizational commitment. The findings show that, comparing group with organizational supports to groups without organizational supports, there is some difference between the influence and the order of the cause-and-effect relationship. In line with the difference between the two groups, the author figures out one remarkable point that, in case of the latter groups, the right and ability has an significantly negative(-) effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It is because, the more rights and abilities the groups with organizational supports have, the less job satisfaction and organizational commitment the groups show concurrently with the heavier burden on job. There are some following theoretical implications based on the findings. First, the quality of LMX and the level of empowerment go in parallel with each other. Second, the components of empowerment can be different depending on various situations. For the elderly nursing facilities, the components consist of significance, right and ability, and competence. Third, the components of empowerment partly influence heavily on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Fourth, without any support from organizations, the more power and ability the group has, the less job satisfaction and organizational commitment it shows. The author presents the following practical implications based on the findings. First,it is important that any head of the elderly nursing facilities gives the willing to support all the time relating to the relevant work through communication with his or her subordinates, which can result in accumulating trust each other. Second, the head of nursing homes should always communicate with his or her subordinate that their job has a significant meaning in their working place, and prepare for incentives for them enough to voluntarily improve their working capability to the fullest extent possible. Third, it is considered that, in the group without any support from organizations, the right and ability rather adversely influence job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Because the heavier rights and abilities can be a burden on the employed in poor working conditions, it is deemed better to allocate evenly or lower slightly those rights and abilities.
