Abstract

The study is to find the possibility of cooperation between civil servants as a mediators for changing a society in a region into community of practice. "Community" is the value-oriented concept and exists in a local community, a community of practice and a organization that have the characteristic of "Community." Public libraries as "Community" have both characteristics of local community and community of practice. And public libraries as community gives public services for neighborhood region problem-solving to people. But in Korea, Residents autonomy system in Dong gives the service to people. They all conducts the business for changing a society in a region to community of Practice. Therefore the study conducted a survey about sense of community and necessity of cooperation in the business. The results are following: The group of higher awareness on community feels less needs to corporate the work in community than the group of lower awareness on community; The group of higher awareness on community or the group having more experience on community have lower job satisfaction. Therefore the motivation on working for community is needed for the mediator.

이 연구는 지역사회를 실행공동체로 환원시키기 위한 매개자인 공무원의 협력가능성을 모색하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 공동체는 가치지향적인 개념으로 현대사회에서는 지역공동체, 실행공동체, 공동체성을 가진 조직 등으로 존재한다. 공공도서관 공동체는 지역공동체의 성격과 실행공동체의 성격을 동시에 띠며, 지역사회 문제해결을 위해 서비스 영역을 확장하고 있다. 그러나 한국에서는 동 단위의 주민자치에서 지역사회 문제해결을 위한 공공서비스를 제공하고 있다. 이들은 모두 지역사회를 실행공동체로 환원시킨다는 목적을 가지고 업무를 수행한다. 따라서 이 연구는 공동체의 매개자에게 필요한 공동체 의식, 업무 필요성에 대한 의식을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공동체 의식이 높은 집단이 그렇지 않은 집단에 비해 업무협력에 대한 필요를 덜 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 공동체 의식이 높거나 주민자치 업무에 많이 노출된 집단은 직무기대가 낮은 편으로 나타났다. 따라서 공동체에 관련된 업무를 원활하게 협력하기 위해서 공동체 업무에 대한 적극적인 동기부여가 필요할 것이다.
