본 연구는 유치원 교사의 개인․기관변인에 따른 심리적 안녕감과 협동적 조직문화 인식을 알아보고, 심리적 안녕감과 협동적 조직문화의 관계를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 연구의 결과 는 첫째, 유치원 교사가 인식하는 심리적 안녕감은 교사의 연령이 높을수록 자율성과 삶의 목적이 높고, 기혼일수록 심리적 안녕감 전체와 자율성, 환경 통제력, 자기수용이 높으며, 대 학원재학 이상일수록 자율성이 높았다. 4학급 이상 6학급 이하 규모의 기관 교사일수록 환경 통제력과 긍정적 대인관계가 높았다. 근무시간이 짧을수록 심리적 안녕감 전체와 환경 통제 력, 자기수용이 높았으며, 월급여가 많은 교사가 자율성이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 유치원 교사 가 인식하는 협동적 조직문화는 35세 이상일수록, 기혼일수록, 교직경력이 6년 이상일수록 동 료적 지원에 대한 인식이 높고, 교육정도가 높을수록 협동적 조직문화 전체와 모든 하위요인 에 대한 인식이 높았다. 또한 근무하는 기관의 규모가 작을수록, 근무시간이 짧을수록 협동적 조직문화 전체와 협동적 지도성, 전문성 개발, 목적 일치성, 동료적 지원을 높게 인식하였다. 반면, 사립 유치원 교사일수록, 월급여가 150만원 미만일수록 근무하는 기관의 협동적 조직문 화와 모든 하위요인에 대해 낮은 인식을 보였다. 셋째, 유치원 교사가 인식하는 심리적 안녕 감과 협동적 조직문화는 정적 상관을 나타냈다.
