이 연구는 제5차에서 제8차까지의 「장애인고용패널조사」에 나타난 장애인 일자리만족도와 일상생활만족도의 종단적 변화를 분석함으로써, 향후 장애인 교육·복지·고용 분야의 정책적 시사점을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 제5차∼제8차 「장애인고용패널조사」의 자료를 잠재성장모형(Growth Curved Analysis)으로 종단 분석하였으며, 예측 요인을 알아보기 위하여 중다회귀분석(Multiple Regression Analysis)을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 장애인의 일자리만족도와 일상생활만족도의 수준은 ‘보통’이었으며, 제5차∼제8차까지 주요한 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 장애인의 일자리만족도를 예측하는 주요 변인은 ‘복리후생’, ‘일의 내용’, ‘장애인 이해/수용’이었으며, 일상생활만족도를 예측하는 주요 변인은 ‘하는 일’과 ‘여가활동’이었다. 이러한 연구결과는 장애인 삶의 만족도 향상을 위해서는 경제활동 참여뿐만 아니라 사회참여, 여가활동 등 다양한 비경제활동에도 참여할 수 있도록 교육·복지·고용 분야 전반에 걸친 정책적 전환이 필요함을 시사한다. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between the employment satisfaction of that affects an improvement of quality of life for people with disabilities, and present the direction of public policy to improve a quality of life for people with disabilities. To do this, we used the Growth Curve Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis to analyze the Korea Panel Survey of Employment of the Disabled from 5th to the 8th The results of this study were as follows: First, job satisfaction and daily-life satisfaction level of people with disabilities were 'normal', and no major changes were observed from the fifth to the eighth. Second, the major variables for predicting job satisfaction were 'income', 'contents of work', 'understanding / acceptance of persons with disabilities', and the major variables for daily-life satisfaction were 'contents of work' and 'leisure'. In order to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, it is necessary to support policy support for 'participation in economic activities' and to support 'participation in non-economic activities' such as participation in various social activities including leisure activities and lifelong education etc. and the government needs to change policies in the education, welfare and employment field to support the whole life for people with disabilities
