The purpose of this study is to explore job environments and their aspects of the professors who are inevitably given multiple missions within a university or within an academic community while maintaining academic research and student education. Using Bronfenbrenner s ecological systems theory, a total of 10 professors who participated in various characteristics of their affiliating institutions were interviewed individually, resulting in the following conclusions: First, professors said that they felt rewarding through student teaching and career guidance, but their relationship with students as a source of rewarding due to changes in institutional conditions and educational environment was not the same as before. Second, professors selectively and conveniently determine the proportion of participation in public spaces, such as departments, and thus the department was perceived as a bureaucratic space for administrative tasks. Third, the government s university evaluation policy and national university policy are threatening the free academic activities of professors, along with the bureaucratic regulatory-oriented research funding method. Fourth, the culture of hierarchy and the climate of college entrance centered on professional training departments have been factors that has undermined the pride of professors. Based on this conclusion, some implications were suggested.
