ABSTRACT

This study investigated the organizational culture of daycare centers and teacher efficacy on the interaction between teachers and infants. Two hundred and three infant class teachers at daycare centers in Seoul and the metropolitan area, took part in a survey of frequency analysis, Pearson's moment correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis. The surveys used and spss 25.0 for data processing. First, as a result of analyzing the correlation between the organizational culture of the daycare center, teacher efficacy, and the interaction between teachers and infants, statistically significant static correlations were found for all three variables. Second,‘rational culture' among the sub-factors of the daycare center's organizational culture significantly affected the interaction between teachers and infants. Among the sub-factors of teacher efficacy, 'parenting efficacy' significantly affected the interaction between teachers and infants. These results suggest that the rational culture of the daycare center's organizational culture and teachers' parenting efficacy are important predictors of the interaction between teachers and infants. The results of this study are to be used as data to help improve the quality of childcare services as measures to improve interaction between teachers and infants.
