경남지역 우주산업 근로자의 이직 결정요인에 관한 탐색적 연구: 정체성(Identity) 관점을 중심으로

초록

This study aims to analyze the structural and in-depth causes of employee turnover in the space industry within the Gyeongsangnam-do region, the largest cluster of the domestic space industry. Quantitative analysis was performed using the 2024 Survey of the Space Industry to assess labor status and structure. For qualitative analysis, in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of nine current and former space industry employees in the Gyeongnam region. Thematic analysis revealed that the primary internal Push Factors for employee turnover converged into: lack of future vision and technological investment, unfair performance evaluation systems, and insufficient organizational respect for the value of professional identity. Employees viewed turnover as a strategic migration to pursue an environment where they could fully realize their Professional Identity and Organizational Identity. These findings suggest that Gyeongnam space companies must urgently establish long-term visions and horizontal organizational cultures that strengthen employee identity, alongside securing competitive compensation for their expertise.
