There has been rising demand within the South Korean government and among various industries in recent years on the need for strengthening the competitiveness of the software industry, which they highlight as being a core element for national competitiveness. This strategy would require enhancing the job competency of software developers. This study's results show that computational thinking (CT), which is one of the more creative solutions to the problem, has a positive effect on the enhancement of software developers' job competency. Furthermore, the study finds that the software development tasks of simulation, algorithms and procedures, and parallelization (in that order) serve as influential elements for software developers, which differs from previous studies' findings. The South Korean government thus should emphasize education in these areas in order to enhance the nation's job competence. Because simulation, especially, has the greatest influence among these areas, there is a particular need to strengthen that area.

문제 정의
The objective of this study is to find the necessary level of CT for the job performance of software developers in order to suggest implications for the enhancement of their ability. The data was collected and the investigation tools were configured to find relationships between the job family of the IT development field, as defined by the NCS, and the sub-competencies of CT.
This study found that CT is necessary for enhancing the job competence of software developers. Unlike previous studies, which found abstraction and automation competencies to be most important, this study found that simulation, algorithms and procedures, and parallelization were important, in that order, for the enhancement of software developers’ job competence.
제안 방법
A Cronbach’s α value was utilized to test for reliability in order to test the internal consistency of the measurement tool in the reliability analysis.
The data was collected and the investigation tools were configured to find relationships between the job family of the IT development field, as defined by the NCS, and the sub-competencies of CT. Both the validity and reliability of the survey questions were analyzed to examine the effectiveness of the investigation tool. In order to test the validity of the measured questions, exploratory factor analysis was performed to find unidimensionality for the questions regarding the competencies comprising CT in each IT development job.
First, this study targets software developers in the lower seven job categories among the NCS’s defined information technology (IT) development job “families” to determine if CT competency has a positive effect on enhancing job competency in carrying out a given task.
Furthermore, in order to determine the sub-competencies of CT—which are necessary for performing each job in the IT development field—a research model was constructed, with the independent variable set as the sub-competency of CT and the dependent variable set as the amount of CT needed for job performances.
In order to examine if the multiple linear regression model is valid (which was selected to explain the relationship between the explanatory variable and the response variable), and to determine how much this relationship is sufficiently explained, the total sum of squares, which shows the overall change, was divided into the sum of regression squared and the sum of the squared errors. The relationship summarized thus is the calculation method for finding the p value according to variance analysis.
Both the validity and reliability of the survey questions were analyzed to examine the effectiveness of the investigation tool. In order to test the validity of the measured questions, exploratory factor analysis was performed to find unidimensionality for the questions regarding the competencies comprising CT in each IT development job. A Cronbach’s α value was utilized to test for reliability in order to test the internal consistency of the measurement tool in the reliability analysis.
In this study, multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the CT sub-competencies needed for the performance of each job in the IT development field.
In this study, the previous study target of students is expanded to include general software developers. Second, this study aims to determine if job competence can be enhanced by including advanced competency of CT into the existing education curriculum, which is only based on programming. This should serve as a useful resource for the development of software-related human resources (HR).

대상 데이터
The questionnaires from ten participants were excluded from this study because they were not employed in the job family of IT development. Therefore, a total of 159 questionnaires were included in the analysis. The demographic analysis of the collected data is shown in Table 2.
This study targeted 169 employees in the lower seven jobs of the IT development job family, as defined by the NCS . The survey was conducted over five days, from March 5th to March 9th of 2015.
이론/모형
The relationship summarized thus is the calculation method for finding the p value according to variance analysis. The hypothesis of this study was tested based on these multiple regression analysis model.
