Abstract

In this study, we designed and verified a research model that identifies the correlation between public library organizational justice, the engagement of service contact members, and user orientation. First, distributive justice was found to have a positive effect on engagement. Second, interaction justice was found to have a positive effect on engagement. Third, procedural justice was found to have a positive effect on user orientation. Fourth, engagement was found to have a positive effect on user orientation. As a result of structural equation model analysis, it was analyzed that engagement had a greater influence on user orientation. Service contact members who have the attitude of having organizational members take voluntary and self-sacrificing actions in library operation and are willing to be positively immersed in their work can take user-oriented actions that provide services with users as the top priority. Because the possibility is high. It has practical significance in that it suggests strategies and improvement plans that can be helpful to libraries.

본 연구는 공공도서관 조직공정성이 서비스접점구성원의 인게이지먼트와 이용자지향성 간의 상호 연관성을 파악하는 연구모형을 설계하고 검증하였다. 첫째, 분배공정성은 인게이지먼트에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 상호작용공정성은 인게이지먼트에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 절차공정성은 이용자지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 인게이지먼트는 이용자지향성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 구조방정식 모형분석 결과, 인게이지먼트가 이용자지향성에 미치는 영향력이 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 도서관 운영에 조직구성원의 자발적이면서 자신의 희생을 감수하는 헌신적인 행동을 취하게 하고 업무에 대하여 긍정적으로 몰입하고자 하는 자세를 갖춘 서비스접점구성원이라면 이용자를 최우선으로 하여 서비스를 제공하는 이용자지향적 행동을 취할 가능성이 크기 때문이다. 도서관에 도움이 될 수 있는 전략과 개선방안을 제시하였다는 점에서 실무적으로 의의를 지닌다.
