Abstract

The relocation policy of public Institutions throughout provincial areas that implemented for the purpose of "balanced national development" finished in 2019 with the last relocation of the Korea Institute of Science & Technology Evaluation and Planning, which moved to Chungbuk Innovation City. Electric power public corporations also completed relocation program over eight regions across the nation. This study was conducted empirically to identify the structural relationship between the public service motivation and job attitude. In this, the relationship of organizational change, particularly occurred by the regional relocation, with the psychological state of these organization members (experienced direct changes and got substantial impacts in various aspects such as psychological, economic and living environment, etc.,) was studied. This study aims to seek early organizational stabilization ideas for electric power public corporations after relocation, and to present some implications that can contribute to the secondary relocation of public institutions to local areas. This study shows the statistically significant relationship between the psychological state occurred by relocation and organizational commitment. The result shows that the higher the expectation levels, the higher the degree of organizational commitment, while anxious psychological state has no relation with that. Additionally, expectation level has no significant functional relation with turnover intention. Followings are the major conclusions revealed in this study; The stronger the anxious psychological state, the higher the turnover inducement goes up. The higher the expectation levels, the higher the public service motivation grows, and the higher the anxiety psychological state, the public service motivation lowers. The organizational commitment grows according to the public service motivation proportionally, but the turnover inducement intention is weak. The moderating effect of public service motivation between the expectation of organizational change and turnover intention was not significant, but it was analyzed that the moderating effect of public service motivation formed a significant relationship with other anxiety psychology. The expectation levels of employees of electric power public corporations has grown up after moving to provincial areas. Relationship between the expectation mind and the turnover inducement has decreased after local relocation.

공공기관들의 지방이전은 '국가균형발전'을 위해 시행된 정책으로 2019년에 한국과학기술기획평가원의 충북혁신도시 이전을 끝으로 마무리되었다. 전력공기업 또한 전국 8개 지역으로 이전을 완료하였는데, 본 연구에서는 지방이전이라는 조직변화에 따른 심리적, 경제적, 생활환경 등 다양한 측면에서의 변화와 그 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 세부적으로는 이들 기관 구성원들의 조직변화에 따른 심리상태를 바탕으로 공공봉사동기와 직무태도 간의 구조관계를 파악하여, 전력공기업의 지방이전 이후의 안정화 방안을 모색하는 한편, 2차 공공기관 지방 이전에 의한 '국가균형발전'에 기여할 수 있는 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 이번 연구에서 지방이전에 따른 심리상태와 조직몰입과는 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 있고, 기대심리가 높을수록 조직몰입이 높아지는 관계를 보인 반면, 불안심리는 조직몰입과 관계가 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 기대심리와 이직의도는 유의적이지 않았으나, 불안심리가 강할수록 이직의도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기대심리가 높을수록 공공봉사동기도 증가하며, 불안심리가 높을수록 공공봉사동기는 낮아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 공공봉사동기가 클수록 조직몰입 또한 커지지만, 이직의도와는 유의적이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 조직변화로 인한 기대심리와 이직의도 간 공공봉사동기의 조절효과는 유의적이지 않았으나, 그 이외 불안심리는 공공봉사동기의 조절효과가 유의적인 관계를 형성하는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 조직변화에 대한 기대심리가 공공봉사동기에 미치는 영향은 전력공기업 구성원들이 지방으로 이전하기 전 보다는 이후에 크며, 지방으로 이전 한 이후에는 기대심리와 이직의도의 관계가 낮아진다는 점을 실증적으로 규명하였다.
