Abstract

As the environment and rivalry of Regional Agricultural Cooperatives(RACs) becomes more unfavorable, the pressures to enhance organizational performance are strenghthened. Existing studies suggest efficiency improvement through resource sharing(RS) to fix the issue. In this context, I intend to find if RS still increases organizational performance in another form of organization on the basis of 132 business units(BUs) of 45 RACS. According to empirical results, resource similarity between BUs and resource level of BU increases RS respectively, and RS increases BU's performance. The RS also has mediating effects on similarity and resource level into performance. But the overall resource level of RAC has no influence on RS and there is no mediating effect. My contribution is to confirm the efficacy of RS in half-profit organization and to verify determinants and performance implications of RS.

지역농협이 직면한 환경불확실성의 증가와 경쟁의 심화에 따라 조직성과 개선에 대한 압박이 증가하는 추세이며, 이에 대한 해결안으로 선행연구들은 자원공유를 통한 효율성의 개선을 강조하였다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 우리나라 45개 지역농협의 132개 사업부를 대상으로 자원공유를 통한 성과제고의 여부를 검토하였다. 실증분석 결과에 따르면 사업부 간 보유자원의 유사성이 높을수록, 사업부의 자원보유수준이 높을수록 사업부 간 자원공유는 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 자원공유가 증가할수록 사업부 성과도 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 매개효과 분석에서 사업부 간 보유자원의 유사성과 사업부의 자원보유수준은 각각 사업부 간 자원공유를 통해 사업부 성과를 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 사업부가 속한 지역농협의 전반적인 자원보유수준은 사업부 간 자원공유에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 매개효과도 존재하지 않았다. 본 연구는 비기업 조직을 대상으로 자원공유의 유효성을 확인했으며, 자원공유의 성과제고 효과를 높이는 상황적 조건들을 확인했다는 데에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
