조직 내 여성비율과 가족친화제도가 남녀근로자의 이직률에 미치는 영향

초록

Since the study of Kanter(1977), there has been an increased interest in how the proportion of female employees in the workplace shape their behavior and career advancement opportunities. In addition, the effects of women-friendly organizational climates on female employee turnover have been gaining attention. In this study, we examine the effect of female workforce participation ratio within organization on the turnover rate of female and male employees in the workplace. Moreover, we examine the introduction and implementation of family-friendly system and the impact of overtime on employee turnover rate. In order to carry out this study, we utilized the Korean Labor Institute’s Workplace panel data collected in 2011 and 2013. We applied hierarchical regression analysis. Our study showed that the increase in the proportion of women in the workplace did not result in higher turnover rates of women. Introducing family-friendly system and employee overtime also did not reduce female turnover rate. However, the proportion of women in managerial positions increased male turnover rates. Furthermore, the adoption of family-friendly system were found to reduce the turnover rate of men. Finally, the relationship between overtime and male turnover rate was not significant. The results suggests that family friendly system and proportion of women affect not just female employees, but also male employees, and that the effect of family friendly initiatives or gender equity initiatives should be examined for both male and female employee.
