스키데몬스트레이터의 직업적 장벽과 극복 경험 탐색

초록

This study aims to explore the occupational barriers faced by ski demonstrators and the processes through which they overcome these challenges. Participants were selected based on a preliminary open-ended online survey, targeting ski demonstrators who had experienced occupational difficulties and consented to participate in the research. In-depth interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi’s phenomenological method was employed to analyze the data. Through meaning-centered interviews, significant statements were extracted and categorized into themes and theme clusters to reveal the essence of shared experiences. The analysis identified several key barriers encountered by ski demonstrators: structural limitations of a seasonal occupation, physical barriers including injury, psychological and emotional challenges, and social perception-related obstacles. In overcoming these difficulties, participants drew motivation from self-efficacy and a desire for growth, a sense of bonding with clients, attachment to and identity in the profession, and short-term compensation and work-life balance. These findings provide a multidimensional understanding of the occupational environment of ski demonstrators and offer foundational insights for developing practical support measures. The study also highlights the need for a multi-level approach, including institutional support, public perception improvement, and professional training for sports instructors.
