Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of hospital employees' communication satisfaction on their perceived organizational effectiveness. Four research hypothesis are established for the purpose of this study. The subject of this study were 473 employees who were working at 10 general hospitals in Korea. The survey was done with structured questionnaire from January 3 to February 8, 2013. The results of stepwise regression analysis show that hospital employees' communication satisfaction positively affected organizational effectiveness. Interaction effects between employees' communication satisfaction and work types had stronger effect on organizational growth than organizational stability. It can be pointed out as an important issue that communication satisfaction score of medical support occupation is the lowest level(3.11 points out of 5 points). If hospitals want an integration of organization, it is required to develop method or skill to increase communication satisfaction among employees.

이 연구는 우리나라 종합병원에 근무하는 직원들의 의사소통에 대한 만족도와 조직유효성 인식과의 관계를 실증적으로 조사하기 위한 것이다. 이와 같은 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 4개의 연구가설을 설정하였으며, 가설검증을 위해 전국 10개 병원에 근무하는 의사, 진료지원직, 행정직 직원 473명에 대한 설문조사를 2013년 1월 3일부터 2월 8일까지 실시했다. 단계적 회귀분석 결과, 병원 직원들의 의사소통에 대한 만족도는 조직유효성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 의사소통 만족도와 직종 간의 상호작용 효과는 조직유효성 중 안정성보다는 성장성에 더 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 직종별 의사소통 만족도조사에서는 진료지원직종이 5점 만점에 3.11점으로 가장 낮아 문제점으로 지적되었다. 병원이 조직의 통합을 원한다면 직종 간 의사소통 만족도를 높이기 위한 세부적인 전략 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다.
