Abstract

This study aims to explore the structure of job stress among public library team leaders and members and to derive practical mitigation measures by analyzing the perceptual differences between positions. To this end, a written qualitative survey was conducted with seven team leaders and seven team members from the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, and the data were analyzed using Mayring’s qualitative content analysis procedure. The results revealed that job stress is structured into six main categories and 26 subcategories, including job demands and relationship conflicts. Distinct differences were identified between positions regarding the structural characteristics of relationship conflicts and core values toward job performance. Proposed mitigation measures include manpower expansion, rationalization of job distribution, and the standardization and efficiency of the administrative environment.
