Government organizations (including police, prosecutor, and Financial
Supervisory Service) and programs to uncover or prevent from insurance crime
are not well developed. However, insurance crime are increasing among not
only private insurances such as life insurance, indemnity insurance, and auto
insurance but also public insurances including national health insurance and
industrial accident compensation insurance. The damages of crimes are serious
in both economical and ethical perspectives. Insurance crime deteriorates a
current account of insurance companies and the leakages due to insurance
fraud worsen loss ratio. Consequently, insurance crime increases customers\'
costs of insurance. For this reason, insurance companies stated to establish
Special Investigation Unit(SIU) to detect insurance crime and fraud by
themselves. However, organizational and operational efficiencies are limited.
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between work
environment factors, perception of insurance crime and job satisfaction among
Special Investigation Units. Therefore, this study investigated the perception
of work environments of Special Investigation Units. In addition, this study
examined how their work environments and general perception of insurance
crime influence their job satisfaction. In order test the purpose of this study,
reliability test, exploratory factor analysis(EFA), multiple regression wereemployed. The results of this study suggested that clarity of insurance
company, distress/difficulty of resolve, compensation, perception of work
pressure are statistically significant on jab satisfaction among Special
Investigation Unit in South Korea. This exploratory study expected to
contribute to understanding of Special Investigation Unit, and their insurance
crime prevention system. The results from this analysis will be examined in
light of previous findings and policy implications discussed.
