Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the hierarchical linear relationship among receptivity to organizational change, individual variables of professors and organizational variables in junior colleges. The population for this study was 12,920 professors in 139 junior colleges. Using random sampling method considering subject, 800 professors in 40 colleges were sampled for this study. The data were collected from May 26 to June 13. A total of 445 out of 800 questionnaires were returned of which 441 of 40 junior colleges were used for analysis after data cleaning. These data were analyzed by both descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA with Random Effects, Ranmdom-Coefficients Regression Model, and Intercepts-and Slopes-as-Outcomes Model of hierarchical linear model(HLM). All data analysis was accomplished using the SPSS 20.0 for windows program and the HLM 6.0 for windows program. An alpha level of 0.05 was established priori for determining the significance. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the level of receptivity to organizational change of professions in junior college was 3.94. Second, 56.5% of total variance in receptivity to organizational change was individual level variance. 43.5% of total variance in receptivity to organizational change was organizational level variance. Third, personal valence about organizational change, psychological ownership, experience of assignment, years of service and job security had positive effects on receptivity to organizational change while years of service had negative effects on receptivity to organizational change. The effect of personal valence about organizational change was highest, and the effect of job security was lowest. Fourth, degree of organizational change, participative decision-making, group culture and accessibility of information related to organizational change had positive effects on receptivity to organizational change. The effect of degree of organizational change was highest, and the effect of accessibility of information related to organizational change was lowest.

이 연구의 목적은 전문대학 교수의 조직변화 수용성과 개인 및 조직 변인의 위계적 관계를 구명하는 데 있었다. 이 연구의 모집단은 2015년을 기준으로 우리나라 전문대학에 재직하고 있는 전임교수 12,920명이었으며, 자료 수집을 위한 조사 도구로는 질문지가 사용되었다. 질문지는 2015년 5월 26일부터 6월 13일까지 총 800부가 배포되었고, 이 중 445부가 회수되었다. 이 중 최종적으로 총 441부가 자료 분석에 사용되었으며, HLM 6.0 프로그램을 이용하여 위계적 선형모형 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전문대학 교수의 조직변화 수용성 수준은 평균 3.94로 대다수의 교수들이 조직변화를 수용하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조직변화 수용성의 변량은 56.5%가 개인 차이, 43.5%가 조직 차이에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 개인 변인 중에는 교수의 변화에 대한 기대, 주인의식, 보직경험, 근속년수, 직무안정성의 순으로 조직변화 수용성에 정적 영향을 미치는 반면, 근속년수는 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 조직 변인 중에는 조직변화수준, 참여적 의사결정, 관계지향문화, 변화관련정보 접근성의 순으로 조직변화 수용성에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
