Such a special condition of the fire organization is seemingly regarded as a prerequisite of the occurrence especially prevalent of the systematic discord rather than the other system of a civil servant such as a common administrative job. The conflict among fire officials which is caused by the variety of effort that has been input in pursuit of making a desirable structure does not in progress or even though it dose, weakened by a counterbalance. Therefore, the goal of this research is inducing a plan to revitalize the fire organization through the corroborative analysis of the conflict between indoor duty and outdoor service ones.

효과적인 조직운영을 위한 직무스트레스의 관리는 무엇보다 조직구성원이 지각하고 있는 직무스트레스 유발요인이 무엇인지를 파악하고, 직무로 발생하는 스트레스의 역기능을 최소화하거나 스트레스 요인을 제거함으로써 조직 효과성을 제고시킬 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 연구의 결과 소방공무원의 직무스트레스에 대해 영향요인은 심리적 환경이 가장 영향력 있는 변수이며, 그 다음으로는 작업환경, 조직문화, 신체적 환경 순으로 나타났으며 행정업무와 인간관계는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Some Volunteer Fire-Fighting Teams (VFFTs) play an important role in Civilian Volunteer Disaster Prevention by being managed effectively, but the others do not. There can be many cause-analyses about this difference. VFFTs aren't a profit-making organization and are a group which has no compulsion. So it is important that who the leader is, and what type of leadership he has. Furthermore VFFTs have hierarchy like fire-fighting teams and so the leader's command and judgement bring about the actual distinction in the organizational operation. Under this background, the survey has been carried out on the trust of leader and leadership type which may maximize the organization commitment. Consequently, to make efficiency of District Disaster & Volunteer Aid Network increase by augmenting organization commitment. The leader of VFFTs should get the transformational leadership rather than transactional leadership and have paternal or democratic leadership in the decision-making process. Especially we have to create a traditional and unique korean Volunteer fire-fighting organization culture through paternal leadership. Additionally, the trust on leaders should be recognized as a fundamental factor to obtain more performances beyond expectation by increasing the success and output of the team, mutual understanding and cooperation.

In order to analyze causes and results of job stress among fire fighters, the structural model was developed and reviewed by a survey asking questions about job stress, job commitment role confusion and relationships with co-workers to 961 fire fighters working in Seoul, Korea. Results of research are correspond with previous research results done in different working environment although fire lighters experienced much higher job stress than average public officers. According to research results, both' job character' and 'relationships with co-worker' influenced 'job stress' and 'job commitment' directly at a statistically significant level. 'Role confusion' influenced 'job stress' directly but influenced 'job commitment' indirectly through 'job stress'.
