Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the Maum-meditation practice on the stress and job satisfaction.
Research method used in this study was descriptive research. The number of the subjects who attended the professional job training for teachers in Y-province was 97 in the pre-test, 85 in the post test respectively. The training program had been carried out from August 4 to August 9, 2003. The questionnaire survey was collected before and after the training. The instruments used for this study were 「Psychiatric Symptom Index」 by Ilfeid(1977) and 「Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire(TJSQ)」by Jong hee No(2001).
The data collected through the questionnaire survey were analysed to get the percentage, the mean, and the t-test score using the SAS program.
The results of this study was summarized as follows.
The amount of stress after the training showed a meaningful decrease compared to that of the stress before the training, marking a meaningful decrease in every area of cognitive, anxiety, depression and anger.
The degree of job satisfaction after the training showed a significant increase. When analysed by areas, only three areas out of 7, such as development, renovation, and partnership showed a significant increase.
The degree of the stress in relation to the general characteristics, I could find a meaningful decrease in people who are below 44 years old, in females more than males, in people who do not have any religions and who are Roman catholics. In terms of marital status, both married and single showed signifcant decrease. In terms of length of experience, people who have less than 25 years experience showed a meaningful decrease. In terms of the age of students who they teach, all the teachers except the primary teachers showed a significant decrease.
In terms of the degree of job satisfaction in relation to the general characteristics, the teachers whose age ranges 35 to 44 showed a statistically meaningful increase. In terms of gender, only female teachers showed increase. In terms of religion, the atheists showed increase. In terms of marital status, the married people showed a meaningful increase.
It seems, therefore, that the Maum-meditation practice is a useful intervention to decrease the stress and increase the job satisfaction of the working people.
I would like to suggest that the effect of the Maum-meditation should be tested in many other professions to prove its effectiveness.
