Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of disaster
relief workers’ job satisfaction in the relationship between their perception
of survivors’ rights and their performance of human rights advocacy. Two
hundred disaster relief workers in Korea were invited to complete
structured questionnaires pertaining to their perception of survivors’ rights,
job satisfaction, and their performance of human rights advocacy, and the
relationships between these variables were analyzed using correlation and
multiple regression analysis. There were significant positive correlations
between disaster relief workers’ perception of survivors’ rights, job
satisfaction, and performance of human rights advocacy in this study. The
higher their perception of survivors’ rights, the greater their performance
of human rights advocacy and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction also acted
as a mediator to increase the impact of their perception of survivors’ rights
on their performance of human rights advocacy. In order to improve the
human rights advocacy performance of disaster relief workers, it is
necessary to raise their perception of survivors’ rights and increase their
job satisfaction by providing a safe and nondiscriminatory work
environment for them.
