Abstract

This study analyzed to specifically understand the relationship between educational accountability and organizational effectiveness of child-care teachers, which have a significant impact on child development and growth in a social environment where the public nature of child-care is growing. To this end, 305 child-care teachers working at national, public, corporate, private, and home daycare centers in Gyeonggi Province were surveyed on their perceptions of educational accountability and organizational effectiveness and analyzed their relevance. As a result, there was a difference in educational accountability and organizational effectiveness perceived by child-care teachers according to the background variables of child-care teachers, and a significant positive correlation between educational accountability and organizational effectiveness as a whole and all sub-areas. In addition, as a result of conducting multiple regression analysis on the effect of educational accountability perceived by child-care teachers on organizational effectiveness, it was found that educational accountability affects organizational effectiveness. Through these results, the relationship between the accountability and organizational effectiveness of child-care teachers was empirically revealed, and the importance of child-care teachers' awareness of accountability and the implications necessary to prepare measures to improve the organizational effectiveness of daycare centers.
