Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to depict the causal relationship among Market Orientation(MO), Marketing Capabilities(MC), and Organizational Performance(OP) with the moderating effect of Environmental Turbulence(ET), especially comparatively highlighting the differences between Korail and Subway firms. Findings show that there partly existed significant interactions effects between ET and MO in case of subway firms, whereas Korail did not reveal any significant results. When considering the strong relationship between MO and MC shown in the subway firms' case, it can be inferred that subway firms continuously have attempted to adapt to the external environment facing them more flexibly and actively over their counterpart, by which the degree of their MC became positively enhanced over Korail. These results give us some implication that MO should be internalized and also MC should get a higher consideration than ever throughout the railway public enterprises in order to strengthen their performance.

본 연구는 철도공기업 구성원을 대상으로 시장지향성, 마케팅역량 및 조직성과 간의 인과관계, 그리고 시장지향성-마케팅역량 간의 관계에서 환경격변성이 지니는 조절효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 철도공기업을 코레일과 지하철 조직의 두 집단으로 구분하여 주요 구성개념들간의 관계에서 어떤 차이가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 연구문제에 대한 탐색적 실증연구를 수행한 결과, 두 집단 모두 시장지향성 차원이 마케팅역량에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그리고 지하철 조직의 경우 환경격변성이 시장지향성과의 상호작용을 통해 마케팅역량을 긍정적으로 조절하고 있었지만, 코레일에서는 아무런 조절효과가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 두 집단 모두 마케팅역량이 조직성과에 강력한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 철도공기업의 조직성과 극대화를 위해서는 '시장지향성'이 조직 전반에 내면화 되어야 하며 마케팅역량의 증대에도 관심을 가져야 한다는 점을 시사하고 있다.
