This research analyzed how the new and senior security guards employed privately
are influenced on their task performance by the factors operated before task performance:
cognitive state anxiety, physical state anxiety and state confidence which are the
sub-factors of the Competitive State Anxiety(CSAI-Ⅱ) according to the educational
background, career, gender and athletic capacity. First, as for the new and senior security
guards’ state anxiety before task performance, the senior guards felt the cognitive anxiety
more than the new guards, but there was not a distinct difference statistically. Therefore,
it is estimated that there is little difference in the level of cognitive anxiety between the
new security guards with insufficient career and the seniors. Second, the level of the
physical state anxiety was shown higher from the senior guards than from the new ones
and had a distinct difference. However, it seems to be derived from the extent of physical
development as the seniors are at the time of vigorous physical development. Third, the
level of state anxiety had no distinct difference between them statistically though the
new security guards felt it higher than the seniors. Fourth, the state confidence was
shown higher from the seniors than from the new and had a distinct difference
statistically, also. Fifth, as for gender, the male and female guards did not have a
difference so much in the cognitive and physical state anxiety, and state confidence. Sixth,
as a whole, the state anxiety was highest as for the security guards with athletic capacity
level 1 and 2. Those with the level 2, and 3 and the level above 7 felt it less than those
with the level 5-6, which had a distinct difference in statistics. The manager of the new
and senior security guards should make them dispel anxiety in piece of mind through
physical and mental education encouraging them to have self-confidence, practical
training, and psychological training based on the analysis of causes of various cases.
