ABSTRACT

This study aims to identify the effect of the demographic variables, disability-related variables, variables related to the route of employment, variables related to job training, and variables related to job satisfaction of employees graduated from a special school for hearing-impaired women, on their job maintenance(period of job maintenance, frequency in leaving their jobs, and intention to maintain a job) for the first time in Korea. With this aim, the study utilized raw data from research into the current status of employees with the disability as of 2005 and employed 2,498 copies, which are directly related to this study. Then, the study introduced the frequency and percentile for data processing, used a VIF(Variance Inflation Factor) and TOL(Tolerance) to see whether there is multicollinearity and employed a multiple regression analysis(Enter Method) and a logistic regression analysis in order to prove the research project. As a result of the research, the strongly influential factors on the job maintenance of employees graduated from a special school for hearing-impaired women included the following. First, the less serious the hearing disability, the easier it was for them to maintain the job. However, this rather requires an improvement in employment management and job environments for severely hearing-impaired women employees. Second, concerning their employment, hearing-impaired women got jobs through a professional job agency in most cases, which addressed the need for the pursuit of employment in coalition with professional job agencies. Third, the longer the period of job training, the more likely they were to maintain their jobs. This means hearing-impaired women need to be given stable, systematic long-term job training. Fourth, the more they were satisfied with their working hours, the higher their period of job maintenance, frequency in leaving jobs(turnover), and intention to maintain job. Therefore, their companies need to keep their working hours stable as much as possible, given the characteristics of hearing-impaired couples and their responsibilities for childcare and house chores, and the lack of understanding corporate policies.
