Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect from acceptance of the latest 4th Industrial Revolution technologies on the relationships between interest in the latest technologies, resistance to the latest technologies, and anxiety in workers at welfare institutions for the disabled. In order to achieve this goal, data were collected from July to August 2018 from workers at disability welfare centers in P Metropolitan City, and we analyzed data from 187 persons. Multiple regression analysis was applied to test the causal relationships between variables; the step-by-step analysis model of Baron and Kenny (1986) was used to verify mediating effects, and the Sobel test was performed to verify their significance. The analyses verified that the degree of interest in the latest technologies affects the degree of resistance to, and anxiety over, the latest technologies through acceptance of the latest technologies. At the same time, we verified that the degree of interest had a complete mediation effect because it did not directly affect the acceptance. In addition, the Sobel test result showed that the mediating effect was statistically significant. In other words, it was found that the degree of interest in the latest 4th Industrial Revolution technologies from workers at welfare institutions for the disabled increases the possibility of adaptation to future society by lowering resistance and anxiety through acceptance of the latest technologies. Based on these results, a plan to reduce resistance to, and anxiety over, the latest technologies was sought, and related measures to increase interest in the latest technologies and their acceptance are suggested.

본 연구는 장애인복지기관 종사자들 최신기술에 관심도와 최신기술 저항도 및 불안도 간의 관계에서 최신기술 수용도의 매개효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 목적 달성을 위하여 2018년 7월부터 8월까지 P광역시 장애인복지관 종사자를 대상으로 자료를 수집하여, 187명의 자료를 분석하였다. 분석은 변수간 인과관계 검정을 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였고, 매개효과 검증을 위해 Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 단계별 분석 모형을 활용하였으며 매개효과의 유의도 검증을 위해 Sobel test를 실시하였다. 분석결과 최신기술 관심도는 최신기술 수용도를 매개로 최신기술 저항도 및 불안도에 영향을 미침과 동시에 직접적으로는 영향을 미치지 않아 완전매개효과가 있는 것으로 검증되었으며 Sobel test 결과, 통계적으로도 매개효과는 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 장애인복지기관 종사자의 최신기술 관심도는 최신기술 수용도를 매개로 저항도 및 불안도를 낮추어 미래사회 적응 가능성을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 최신기술 저항도 및 불안도를 감소시키기 위한 방안을 모색하고, 최신기술 기술에 대한 관심과 최신기술 수용도를 높일 수 있는 관련 방안을 제언하였다.
