고용불안이 노조몰입, 이중몰입, 노사관계행동지향성에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

Recently many organizations have engaged in widespread restructuring as well as more flexible usage of labor in an attempt to cut costs and to increase profit. As a result of lays offs resulting from frequent restructuring, many people no longer consider their jobs as permanent positions. many employees have an increased feeling of job insecurity. There structuring and following downsizing have created an uncertain environment within creased fear offer ther job losses. therefore the study of job insecurity is significant. especially To understand the relationship between job security and union-relation behaviors on the industrial relations. The purpose of this study suggested the strategies to company and union. The purpose of this study is to examine how the union-relation behaviors are influenced by the job security. This study built a exploratory model that there is causal relationship of job security to union commitment, dual commitment, and labor related behaviors. For the verification of this study model, the regression analysis was applied to the surveys of 236 members of union that are located in Busan, Gyeongnam, Ulsan, and Pohang. The result of this research shows that the job insecurity is strongly related to the union commitment and union related behaviors. According to the research, the effect that the job security affects union commitment and union related behaviors are positive. With the research outputs, we have discussed about the academic and pragmatic viewpoint. We proposed comprehensive model to verify how the job insecurity affects the union-related behaviors, and objectively analyzed the model. The research result was opposite to what the existing theories have said that high job insecurity derives high union-related behaviors. This result is meaningful because it is concerned with the social issues-present situation of Korean company, low-employment, unstable employment and so on. Moreover, this research may contribute to expand the aspect of academic research on job insecurity as there are few research conducted in korea. This research also suggests the realistic alternative of union-related behaviors because it is proved that job security can contribute to innovation activities. Also, this research implies that the matter of job insecurity is the basic need of organizational individual and presents that job security is not a notion but the alternative by using of the positional stability and situational control power. The limitation of this research is that it is only utilized the cross-sectional study. To remedy the cross-sectional study, vertical, and serial method of research is needed. And there is no enough sample to secure more comprehensive data as the targets of the research is limited to Busan and Gyeongnam regions. Finally, the measurement tool for job security is needed to be suitably modified to by the South Korea's economic, linguistic, and cultural situation.

본 연구는 고용불안이 종업원의 노조태도와 노사관계관련행동에 미치는 영향력과 노조몰입의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 부산, 울산, 경남, 포항지역의 제조업 및 서비스업의 노동조합에 소속된 조합원 236명을 대상으로 진행되었다. 문헌연구를 통해 연구를 설계하였고, 선행연구를 바탕으로 고용불안이 노조몰입과 노조참가행동 그리고 투쟁행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 고용불안은 노조몰입과 노조참가행동과 투쟁행동의 선행요인임을 밝힐 수 있었고, 종업원의 노조몰입은 고용불안이 종업원의 노사관계행동에 미치는 영향에 대한 매개효과를 갖는 것으로 실증분석결과 확인되었다. 그리고 추가적으로 실시한 고용불안과 이중몰입의 관계는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 고용불안이 노조몰입은 높이고 회사몰입은 낮춘 결과로 해석할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 경영자는 종업원의 고용불안을 줄여야 한다는 시사점과 노조몰입에 대한 관리를 통해 종업원의 노사관계행동을 감소시키는 노력을 해야 한다는 관리적 시사점을 제공할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 연구표본의 한계와 설문지법을 통한 실증분석이 가질 수 있는 한계점이 있음을 인정하며, 향후 연구에서는 다양한 샘플을 통한 일반화의 노력과 다양한 방법론을 통한 보다 엄밀한 분석을 할 필요가 있음을 제시하였다.
