초록

조직 내 정치와 갈등은 어떠한 유형의 조직에서도 발견되는 일상적인 현상이며, 다양한 조직성과 및 산출 변수들에 영향을 주고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 간호조직 내 정치와 갈등에 관한 선행연구는 많지 않은 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 그 동안 간호조직 관련 연구에서 배제되어온 조직 내 정치와 갈등이 간호사 사이 의사소통의 질에 어떠한 영향을 주고 있는지 분석하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 A대학병원 간호사 310명이며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS21을 활용하여 기술통계, 피어슨상관분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 조직 내 정치와 부정적 유형의 관계갈등은 수직적, 수평적 의사소통의 질에 부(-)의 영향을 주고 있었으며, 긍정적 유형의 업무갈등은 정(+)의 영향을 주고 있었다. 공식적 의사소통의 질에 대해 조직 내 정치와 관계갈등은 부(-)의 영향을 주고 있었으나, 업무갈등은 유의하지 않았다. 조직 내 정치와 갈등은 비공식적 의사소통의 질에는 유의한 영향을 주고 있지 않았다. 줄세우기나 편가르기와 같은 조직 내 정치적 행위와 조직 구성원 간의 감정적인 갈등 현상에 대한 적극적인 관리가 필요함이 강조되며, 나아가 간호조직 내 정치와 갈등에 대한 본격적인 실증연구가 확대되어야 할 것이다.

Politics and conflicts within organizations are natural phenomena found in any type of organization, affecting organizational outcomes and output variables. Nevertheless, there are not many previous studies on politics and conflict within nursing organizations. Therefore, in this study, we would like to analyze how the internal politics and conflicts, which have been excluded from the previous studies related to nursing organizations, affect the quality of communication between nurses. Data were collected from 310 nurses in an university hospital. Using SPSS21, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analyses. As results of the analyses, the organizational politics and relationship conflict have negative effect on the quality of vertical and horizontal communication, and task conflict has a positive effect on them. Organizational politics and relationship conflict have negative effects on quality of formal communication. Organizational politics and conflicts did not significantly affect the quality of informal communication. These results suggest that active, managerial efforts should be executed to overcome the negative effects of organizational politics and emotional conflicts among nurses. Furthermore, empirical research on organizational politics and conflicts within nurses organizations should be expanded.
