지적장애인 관계자의 사회적기업에 관한 인식조사

A Survey on the Perception of Social Enterprise for People concerned with Intellectual Disabilities

이 연구에서는 사회적기업에 대한 지적장애인 관계자의 인지도를 알아보고자 하였다. 관계자들의 성별, 연령, 학력, 근무경력에 따른 집단간 평균 차이를 검증하였고, 지원고용에 관한 의견은 반복적 비교분석법으로 내용분석을 하였다. 사회적기업에 대한 전반적 인지도에서 [사회적기업육성법]과 [사회적기업진흥원]에 대한 인식이 낮게 나타났다. 성별에서는 남자가 여자보다 높고, 연령과 학력, 근무경력에 따른 인식정도에서는 집단간 차이가 없다. 사회적기업 제품/서비스를 「구매한 적이 없다」는 응답자가 가장 많고, 구입이유는 「취약계층 일자리 창출에 도움이 되기 때문에」, 비구입 이유는 「사회적기업에 대해 잘 모르기 때문」이라는 응답이 많았다. 제품/서비스 구매 시 고려요인으로는 「품질」과 사회적기업의 향후 방향에서도 「품질」이 중요하다고 나왔다. 가장 효과적인 홍보 수단은 「방송매체」와 「인터넷 홈페이지」, 그리고 장애인 사회적기업의 중요 사안으로는 「장애인 고용」, 사회적기업을 통한 장애인 지원고용 방안에 대해서는 「사회인식개선」이 가장 필요하다고 하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the perception of social enterprise for people concerned with Intellectual Disabilities. In the overall perception of social enterprise, the perception means of 'Social Enterprise Promotion Act' and 'Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency' were lower compared to other rated means. In the gender mean comparison, the means of men in areas of 'Social Enterprises', 'Social Enterprise Promotion Act', and 'Social Services' were much higher compared to the women. There were statistically significant differences between the men and women groups. However, the differences between the groups in the age, educational background, and work experience were not statistically significant. Most of the respondents responded that they have never purchased product/service, in which their highest response was "I don't know what social enterprise is." Of the respondents. who have purchased social enterprise product/service, the highest response was "to provide job opportunity for the vulnerable social group." It was also observed that when purchasing product/service, quality was considered important especially in the future course of social enterprise. Additionally, 'Broadcast Media' and 'the Internet Web Sites' were considered the most effective medium for promotion. Also, the employment of people with disabilities was considered as the most important issue for social enterprises and it showed that improvement of social perception is needed to support employment of disabled people through social enterprises.
