Abstract

This study aims to do in-depth exploration of the meaning of learning village activists' work, focusing on job crafting. A qualitative case study was conducted through participant observation and in-depth interview from March 23, 2020 to March 05, 2021. As a result of the analysis, a task crafting showed 'task performance using one's own strengths and resources', 'executing additional tasks other than the specified tasks', and 'changes in work methods for efficient task performance'. In a cognitive crafting, 'recognition of the importance of work and sense of vocation', 'recognition of happiness and pleasure in work', and 'recognition of roles to expand work expertise' appeared. In a relation crafting, 'building a community of practical learning with colleagues', 'a mediator of the growth and change of village residents', and 'coexistence of conflict and cooperation with business associates' were shown. In conclusion, learning village activists were actively changing their work through the job crafting and this can be used as basic data to improve the satisfaction with their work. A follow-up study was proposed for activists in learning villages in other regions.

본 연구는 잡 크래프팅을 중심으로 학습마을활동가의 일의 의미에 대해 심층적으로 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 학습마을활동가 4명을 대상으로 2020년 3월 23일부터 2021년 03월 05일까지 참여관찰과 심층면담을 통해 질적 사례연구를 수행하였다. 분석결과, 과업 크래프팅은 '자신이 가진 강점과 자원을 활용한 과업수행', '정해진 과업 이외의 추가적 업무수행', ' 효율적 과업수행을 위한 업무방식의 변화'가 나타났다. 인지 크래프팅은 '일의 중요성과 소명의식 인지', '일의 행복과 즐거움 인지', '일의 전문성 확장을 위한 역할 인지'가 나타났다. 관계 크래프팅은 '동료와 실천학습공동체 구축', '마을주민의 성장과 변화의 매개자', '업무관계자와 갈등과 협력의 공존'이 나타났다. 결론적으로 학습마을활동가들은 잡 크래프팅을 통해 능동적으로 일을 변화시키고 있었으며, 이는 일의 만족감을 향상할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다. 추후 타지역 학습마을활동가 대상의 후속연구를 제안하였다.
