다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

· Research topics: In order to actively prevent child abuse through childcare workers, this study investigates the relationship between childcare workers' personality and child protection behavior and empirically analyzes the mediating effect of childcare workers' job satisfaction on this relationship.
· Research background: Various policies and systems have been implemented to prevent child abuse, but there are also limitations. Therefore, this study aims to reconceptualize childcare workers as active child protection roles and examine measures to prevent child abuse through them.
· Differences from prior research: This study differs from previous studies in that it reconceptualizes childcare workers as active agents of child protection behavior and integrates the relationship between childcare workers' personality, job satisfaction, and child protection behavior.
· Research results: For this purpose, multiple regression analysis is conducted to determine the influence of each variable, and Sobel's Z test is used as a test of mediation effect, along with analysis using Baron and Kenny's method to determine the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between childcare workers' personality and attitudes toward child abuse perceptions and reporting intentions.
· Contribution points and expected effects: The findings suggest that there is a need for character education for childcare workers and a need to develop specific and systematic personality education measures to strengthen it.
