Abstract

This study attempted to identify the strategic factors of conflict management in making decisions of family travel by age focusing on the different conflicts occurred in the family travel currently in Korea. by doing this, it tried to provide the basic data that can draw out constant participation, higher involvement and commitment by identifying the strategies for conflict management centering around not only tourism studies of tourist psychology and behavior but also the strategic variables of conflict management in terms of the promotion of tourism industry. To examine the result of this study, first, it was found that in all age groups, strategies of compromise and moderation strategy to meet the needs of surrounding people and the person him/herself were used as a strategic plan for conflict management between decision-makers and conflicting groups. Second, it was analyzed that when a conflict is caused, from order to negotiation strategies; from authority to democratic strategy, they turned out to make efforts to solve the conflicts occurred during family travel by collecting the opinions of the surrounding people; tune the opinions; and make decisions by majority. Lastly, it was found that they turned out to make efforts to ease the conflicts caused during family travel through active problem-solving regarding internal/interpersonal/structural restriction factors.

본 연구는 현 우리나라에서 가족관광시 발생되는 상이한 갈등을 중심으로 연령별 가족관광 의사결정시 갈등 관리전략요인을 확인하고자 하였다. 그럼으로써 관광심리 및 행동을 연구하는 관광학은 물론 갈등관리전략변수를 중심으로 관광산업의 진흥측면에서 연령별 갈등관리전략을 규명함으로써 가족관광의 지속적인 참여와 더 높은 관여도 및 헌신을 이끌어 낼 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 모든 연령층과 의사 결정자와 상충된 집단간 갈등관리잔략방안으로 주변 인물들과 자신의 욕구충족을 위하여 타협전략 및 중용전략을 사용하고 있는 것으로 규명되었다. 둘째, 갈등유발시 명령에서 협상전략으로, 권위에서 민주주의전략 방식으로 주변인의 의견을 수렴하거나, 의견조율, 다수결 결정 등으로 가족관광시 발생된 갈등을 해결하고자 노력하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로, 내적/대인적/구조적 제약요인 등에 대하여 적극적 문제해결을 통하여 가족관광시 발생된 갈등을 완화하려고 노력하고 있는 것으로 규명되었다.
