[A study of care workers of human resources in health-social services]

In this study, we examine the relationship between job satisfaction(JS) and life satisfaction(LS) and the moderating effect of coping with JS and LS correlation (spillover) in order to obtain information of Human Resources Management for care workers in Health-Social service facilities.

Questionnaires were sent to individuals working in geriatric care facilities and responses were returned from a total of 612 females aged 20 to 63. Subjects were classified into 3 groups according to their age. Relationships between JS and LS were examined by multiple regression analysis and the moderating effect of coping behavior on spillover was examined by comparison of correlation coefficients of spillovers between the high score group and low score groups based on scores for coping behavior.

Several significant causal interrelations were seen between JS and LS such as JS of "work time and shift" and LS of "health", but a moderating effect of coping with spillover was seen only in the middle age group (35-49).

The results showed the need in some way to consider non-work life besides work life in the actual personnel programs of Health-Social service facilities, and indicated that relationships between coping and spillover depend on the age.
