Abstract

In this study, various conflicts in the maritime police organization were diagnosed and police subculture, which is different from dominant mainstream maritime police culture, was concluded to cause conflicts. In addition, maritime police conflicts and conflicts due to the balance, confrontation, and contradiction between bureaucratic and democratic values in the maritime police organization itself are discussed. The results of analysis on the effects of Maritime police subculture on organizational conflict are as follows: First, the influence of cynicism on functional conflict was explored. The higher the level of lies of the persons under investigation, the more functional conflict appeared. Also, if a person showed a low level of credibility among the police, this also led to functional conflict. In addition, if an individual showed low levels of cooperation and credibility with the police, this resulted in hierarchical conflict. Second, the influence of machismo on functional conflict was also explored. It was found that female officers experienced conflicts because of poorer job performance compared to male counterparts. In hierarchical issues, female officers experienced conflict over the reduced scope of tasks assigned to them and lower job performance ability. Third, the effect of non-acceptance of change in functional conflict was not statistically significant. An aggressive attitude toward crime control and rejecting jobs unrelated to crime influenced functional conflict, and an aggressive attitude and performing jobs unrelated to crime lead to functional conflict.

이 연구에서는 해양경찰조직 내에서 발생하는 다양한 갈등을 진단하고 더불어 갈등을 유발시킬 수 있는 해양경찰조직의 지배적인 주류문화와 다르게 형성되어 있는 하위문화에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 아울러 해양경찰조직 자체가 가지고 있는 관료제적 가치와 민주적 가치와의 균형이나 대립 그리고 모순으로 인한 보편화된 갈등과 마찰에 대해 논의하고자 한다. 해양경찰의 하위문화가 조직 갈등에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 냉소주의가 기능적 갈등에 미치는 영향 중에는 피조사자의 거짓말과 경찰에 대한 비신뢰성이 강할수록 기능적 갈등을 겪는 것으로 나타났고, 계층적 갈등에서는 경찰업무에 대한 비협조와 비신뢰성이 강할수록 계층적 갈등을 겪는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 남성주의가 기능적 갈등에 미치는 영향에서는 여자경찰관들은 남자경찰관들에 비해 직무수행 능력이 저조하기 때문에 갈등을 겪는 것으로 나타났고, 계층적 갈등에서는 여성경찰관의 직무범위를 축소하고 직무수행능력이 저조하여 갈등을 겪는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 변화거부주의가 기능적 갈등에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의미하지 않으며, 상대적인 범죄통제 지향주의에서는 범죄의 통제를 위한 공격적인 태도와 범죄와 무관한 업무를 지양할 경우에 기능적 갈등에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 계층적 갈등에서는 공격적인 태도와 범죄와 무관한 업무를 수행할 때에 계층적인 갈등을 겪는 것으로 나타났다.
