이 연구는 선원의 개인적 특성(연령, 결혼여부, 국적)과 승선 경력(총승선기간, 현회사 승선기간, 선내 근무부서와 직급), 승선근무 보상(선원 복지후생만족도), 승선근무 내성(이가정성 및 이사회성) 그리고 외국인 선원과의 혼승 문제(이문화 수용 및 적응) 등의 승선근무 특성들에 따라 선원직업의식 수준에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 선원의 연령이 높을수록, 기혼집단보다 미혼집단에서, 국적은 필리핀, 인도네시아, 미얀마, 중국, 한국 순으로 직업의식 수준이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 선내 직급에서는 외국인 선원의 직장급 부원의 직업의식이 원직급 부원과 수직급 부원 그리고 3항·기사 직급보다 높게 나타났다. 승선근무 특성에서는 복지후생만족도가 높아지면 선 원직업의식이 높아지며, 이가정성과 이사회성은 선원직업의식에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 외국인 선원과의 혼승에 따른 이문화 수용성은 선원직업의식에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않지만, 이문화 적응성은 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 선원들이 자신의 직업에 대한 매력과 자부심 및 긍지를 가지고 승선근무를 지속할 수 있도록 하는 선원직업의식의 중요성을 강조 하고, 선원직업의식의 제고방안을 제시하는 데에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 개별 선원들의 다양한 복지 욕구를 충족시키는데 중요한 역할을 담당하는 해운기업의 복지후생 실태를 조사해 보기 위하여 선원의 인적 특성과 승선근무 특성에 따른 복지후생 프로그램의 이용도를 분석하고, 이들 프로그램의 만족도가 회사에 대한 조직몰입도와 직무만족도에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 현재 승선 중인 선원 459명을 대상으로 조사 분석한 결과, 선원의 연령, 결혼여부, 직급, 승선기간, 회사 근속기간 등의 인적 특성과 승선근무 내성에 따라 복지후생 프로그램의 이용도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 해운기업의 복지후생 프로그램의 이용에 따른 만족도가 높을수록 선원의 조직몰입도와 직무만족도가 높아지는 것으로 검증되었다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the subjective and objective fatigue level and the characteristics of seamen's physical strength with the service period on board, to have a new understanding of the vocation, and to explore a physical exercising program for the seamen. The questionnaire survey for the seamen who had been in service on the ocean going vessels was conducted and the results are fumed out as the followings. Total number of seamen who had answered the questionnaire was 64 persons and the distribution status of service period group was identified as 16 persons for each of 4 groups； the group was classified as the group of less than 5 years, 5 - 10 years, 10 - 15 years, and more than 15 years. 1. Working conditions Working hours in a week was identified as 44－56 hours(45.3%) and the number of 45.3% of the seamen answered the working hours in week is more than 56 hours. The seamen of 25.0% are unsatisfied or very unsatisfied with their vocation. The seamen of 65.6% are smoking, and 45.3% of them drink. The seamen of 44.,3% drink once or more in a week. And the seamen of 67.2% do not take any exercise in a week. 2. Contribution to the seamen's fatigue and subjective symptom The most contributive factor to the seamen's fatigue was identified as the short of sleeping(21.5%), overwork(19.2%), poor working conditions (18.6%), and the friction in human relations also becomes one the contribution to the fatigue(14.0%). The subjective symptom by fatigue was identified as the feeling of languid, sleepy and tiredness of eyes. 3. Characteristics of the seamen's physical strength and Interrelations The grip strength and back strength of the seamen whose service period is less than 5 years were measured as 40.44kg and 127.8kg. The sit ups in the group of service period less than 5 years was measured as 36.84 times, and the vertical jump for the seamen in this group was measured as 46.55cm. The closed-eyes foot balance was measured as 33.64 seconds in the group of service period between 5 and 10 years, and side-step was measured as 35.31 times in the group of service period less than 5 years. The standing trunk flexion was measured as 10.54cm for the seamen whose service period is between 10-15 years, and the trunk extension was measured as 50.70cm for the seamen whose service period is less than 5 years. And the step test of the seamen whose service period is between 10-15 years was measured as 54.44 numbers, and the number of flickers of the seamen whose service period is less than 5 years was measured as 32.94.
