Abstract

Recently, church organizations are experiencing various problems, including a sharp decline in the number of members. This study focused on the problem of lack of communication, that is, organizational silence, which is commonly pointed out in previous studies as a problem of church organizations, and empirically analyzed the relationship between organizational silence, organizational cynicism, and organizational commitment within church organizations. For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to 210 members of churches and related organizations from May to June 2023, of which 202 copies were used as analysis data. SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used to perform frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation model analysis, and bootstrapping to verify mediation effects. As a result of the study, organizational silence had a negative effect on organizational cynicism, and organizational cynicism had a negative effect on organizational commitment. Although organizational silence did not have a direct negative effect on organizational commitment, it was found to have a negative effect mediated by organizational cynicism. This study expanded the scope of the study by applying variables from organizational theory to church organizations, and presented practical implications through the research results to church organizations.

최근 교회조직은 구성원의 수가 급격하게 감소하는 등 다양한 문제를 경험하고 있다. 본 연구는 교회조직의 문제점으로 선행연구에서 공통적으로 지적하고 있는 소통부족 즉, 조직 침묵의 문제에 주목하여 교회 조직 내 조직침묵, 조직냉소주의, 조직몰입 간 관계를 실증 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 2023년 5~6월 교회 및 관련기관 구성원 210명에게 설문지를 배포하였으며, 이중 202부를 분석 자료로 활용하였다. SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 활용하여 빈도분석, 확인적요인분석, 기술통계분석, 상관관계분석, 구조방정식모형분석 및 매개효과 검증을 위한 Bootstrapping을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조직침묵은 조직냉소주의에 부정적 영향을 미쳤으며, 조직 냉소주의는 조직 몰입에 부정적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 조직침묵이 조직몰입에 직접적으로 부정적 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 조직냉소주의를 매개로 하여 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 조직론에서의 변수들을 교회조직에 적용하여 연구의 범위를 확장하였으며, 연구결과를 통한 실무적 시사점을 교회조직에 제시하였다.
