다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The goal of this study is not only to understand the level of work ethics and self-efficacy of which personal assistants of the disabled are aware, but also to figure out whether personal assistants’ work ethics impact on self-efficacy. The following research subjects are established, emphasizing the importance of personal assistants, which give a significant impact on improving quality of life for severely disabled people, and coming up with grounds of social welfare promotion to improve quality of life.
After was represented a parent population of personal assistants, who worked at the disabled self-support centers, community welfare centers, the disabled communities, and local self-support centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, total 145 personal assistants’ data were collected and analyzed. Conclusions of the study were drawn as follows.
As a result of understanding the level of work ethics and self-efficacy, cognitive factors are represented with relatively high frequency, while motivational factors are with relatively low frequency.
Sense of belong and sense of duty give a significant impact on work ethics, attitudes do a relatively low impact on the ethics: factors of work ethics include commitments, sense of belong, sense of duty, continuous service will, and attitudes.
If correlation with independent variables were 0.9 or more, multicollinearity would be doubted, and a pure causal relationship among independent variables and dependent variables would be hard to validate despite meaningful regression model. However, this study did not show correlation with 0.9 or more.
As a result of analyzing the impact of sex, age, career, working hours, and work ethics on self-efficacy, it is not only found that sex, age, career, and working hours are non-significant, but also found that commitments are significant, among factors of work ethics - commitments, sense of belonging, sense of duty, continuous service will, and attitudes.
From this study, policy implications and empirical implications were elicited as follows
First, [policy implication] public service organization will have to mainly deal with career sustainability issues such as wage, benefit package, education, expertise recognition, communication, and so on.
Second, [empirical implication] efforts to foster self-efficacy program, business, and education will be required to induce and manage work ethics of personal assistants with positive attitudes.
