Abstract

This research focuses on finding the way of improving creativity in fire stations by scrutinizing the factors influencing and enhancing creativity in organizations. As environmental changes including the needs of citizens as well as the climate change are moving culminated today, fire stations should be changed appropriately to get the legitimacy of existence not to mention their own mission accomplishments. In this respect, the creativity can be expected as the main factor for fire stations' going concern. This research provided 5 hypotheses to find whether the chosen factors such as vision, learning/unlearning and positive feedback affect the creativity in fire stations. To prove hypotheses are valid, we employed survey as a method in which 155 firemen in Seoul responded, ending up with getting the result that the vision formulation and sharing, unlearning activities and positive feedback improve organizational creativity. In conclusion, this paper suggests that fire stations establish useful policies for the creativity based on these research findings.

본 연구는 소방조직에서의 창의성 촉진 요인을 탐색하여 조직 창의성의 증진방법을 모색하고 있다. 기후변화 등과 더불어 시민의 소방서비스의 욕구증대로 인하여 소방서에 대한 기대가 점증하여 전통적인 화재 구조 구급 업무수행뿐 아니라 환경변화에 조응하는 적절한 방식의 변화를 통하여 정당성과 영속성을 확보하여야 한다. 이러한 관점에서, 창의성이라는 주제는 소방서의 영속성을 담보하는 주요한 변수이다. 본 연구에서는 총 5개의 가설을 설정하여 비전, 폐기학습 및 긍정적 피드백과 같은 변수들이 실제로 조직 창의성을 고양할 수 있는지를 검증하였다. 서울시 소방공무원 155명을 대상으로 실시한 설문결과를 통계적으로 검증하여 위의 언급한 변수들이 조직 창의성과 관련이 있음을 밝혀내었다. 이러한 검증결과에 따라, 창의성 촉성을 위한 몇 가지 정책적 함의를 도출하였다.
