This study treats bureaucracy as one of the main systematic characteristics of public libraries and analyzes the effects on performance based on service quality. Doing this analysis, we investigated the service quality of each library by conducting a questionnaire survey from users of eight public libraries in Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea. We also measured the bureaucratic characteristics of the libraries through another questionnaire survey from librarians. Then based on the survey data, it is analyzed how bureaucratic characteristics affect service quality. According to the analysis results, bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic characteristics had causal relationships with service quality. Especially, several combinations of the characteristics affected service quality. In addition, among the characteristics, a system of rules was more important in the relationship with service quality. This study is meaningful to consider bureaucratic characteristics for public library organizations to produce a high-quality service through empirical research.

It was amazing that efficiency of bureaucratic system, when Marx Weber presented theory of bureaucracy. Now, Government and Bureaucratic organization are confronted with a forked road of change. The purpose of this paper is not so much to force choices among the alternative visions of governance but rather to make the choices available to governments more evident. Any choice of paradigms for government and administration is unlikely to be Pareto optimal, but we should be clear about what we receive and what we sacrifice when we make these judgements about governance. Today, government and public bureaucracy must be changed. There are needed an innovation of government and public bureaucracy. It must be changed concepts from government to governance. Governance is a national management.

This study aims to examine the effects of bureaucratic characteristics, which are the most common in modern library organizations among organizational characteristics of public libraries, on the organizational commitment of librarians. Doing this analysis, 185 librarians from 20 public libraries in the Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea were surveyed to look into the bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic characteristics of each library, such as specialization, hierarchy of authority, system of rules, integration, and participation, and the three dimensions of organizational commitment of affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. According to this analysis, the hierarchy of authority had a negative effect on affective and normative commitment, while integration had a positive impact on affective and continuance commitment, and participation had a positive effect on affective and normative commitment. The findings, therefore, show that a combination of bureaucratic and post-bureaucratic characteristics, which reduces the hierarchy of authority and strengthens integration and participation, would increase organizational commitment. This study is meaningful in that, through empirical research, it suggests organizational bureaucratic characteristics that would raise organizational commitment in public library organizations.

본 연구는 민간위탁 공공도서관을 대상으로 관료제적 특징 및 그 요인들을 탐색함을 그 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 3개의 민간위탁 공공도서관에서 각각 사서 2명씩을 대상으로 비구조화 심층면담을 실시하였다. 면담 후 녹취록을 작성하여 분석대상으로 삼았으며, 베버의 이념형 관료제에 기반한 6개의 관료제적 특성을 살펴보았다. 대상 도서관의 관료제 정도는 전반적으로 낮거나 보통 수준이었으며, 사서직의 전문성, 관장의 리더십, 모기관과의 위계 수준 등이 영향을 미친 것으로 파악되었다.

As the information needs in civil society is getting diverse, the interest in local policy process based on the characteristics of local communities, especially in local policy implementation is growing. However, research in library and information policy has focused rather on policy alternatives than policy process in Korea. In this study, we analyze the policy implementation in "the First Library in my Life" policy in Kyeonggi province with the framework of the Street-Level Bureaucracy Model by Michael Lipsky. In the analysis, we attempt to identify factors in the policy implementation, to examine the usefulness of the model into the situation of Korean library policy, and to suggest major considerations in the policy implementation in Korean public libraries for successful policy implementation. From the results, the usefulness of the model is examined and the need of considering indirect socio-economic factors is suggested.

태스크포스팀의 구성원들은 이전 조직에서 가졌던 역할 권한과 태스크포스팀으로 파견되어 갖게 되는 역할 권한 등으로 해서 복합적인 접근권한을 갖게 된다. 예를 들어 어떤 사용자가 어떤 객체에 대해 접근이 허가된 접근권한과 접근이 불허된 접근권한을 각각 다른 역할을 통해 갖게 되었음 때 사용자가 객체를 접근 하고자 할 때 이를 허용할 것이지 불허할 것인지 둘 중의 하나를 결정해 주어야 하는데 이를 권한 충돌 해결이라 한다. 권한 충돌 해결을 위해 많은 연구가 있어 왔으나 태스크포스팀과 같은 임시조직과 기존의 관료제 조직이 병존하는 상황에서 어떤 자원에 대한 접근 요구시 시스템에 의해 즉시 권한충돌 문제를 해결해 접근허가 여부를 판단해 줄 수 있는 방법으로는 적합하지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 관료제 조직과 태스크포스팀 조직과 같이 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 조직이 병존하는 환경에서 발생하는 권한충돌 문제를 해결하고자 한다.

Nursing, a profession, continues its efforts founard professionalization. Attention to efficiency and effectiveness of its organizational system must be balances with that of maintaining quality of care. The wise use of personnel is of particular concern. The structure of nursing's administrative organization is very important, because most nursing services are delivered through an organization. Professional bureaucracy is recommended for the structure and managerial strategy of nursing's administrative organization, Specifically, considerable decision -making in their work should be transferred to the staff nurses who provicle professional nursing services in direct interaction with the public. The co -ordinative parameters of the system should be based on professional nursing knowledge. The premise required by this commitment would be built on the identification of nursing knowledge and intellectual and behavioral standard of nursing practice.

The purpose of this study is to propose a model that can polish and improve the ROK (Republic of Korea) Army's records management policy in a new records management environment by analyzing the context of policy implementation. In this study, two distinct and different policy cases were analyzed using different models for policy analysis such as the case of the records management system of the ROK Army with the street-level bureaucracy model and the case of the archives personnel within the ROK Army with a Policy Network model. The results from the comparative analysis with both cases state that the street-level bureaucracy model has limitations in analyzing even a policy implementation case when multiple actors are involved. At the same time, a network policy model is useful in identifying the problematic points that need improvement in the case. Based on these results, some improvements for effective records management in the ROK Army were proposed. This study follows the approach of the two distinctive case studies from the perspective of policy science-a view that no archive researcher has ever explored before.

This paper discuses how toxic humidifier disinfectants were produced and distributed by bypassing tightly regulated laws from 1994 when the first humidifier disinfectant was made until 2011 when it was found to be the cause of the untreated interstitial lung disease. Rather than presupposing immoral entrepreneurs or incompetent civil servants as the cause of this disaster, this paper focuses on the bureaucratic character of the corporate organization that sold the humidifier disinfectant and the government that approved it, and shows that communication in these bureaucratic organizations was hampered and thus defective. It emphasizes the fact that the bureaucracy and secrecy of these organizations are the major cause of the humidifier disinfectant disaster. An analysis of the bureaucratic characteristic of the organization can reveal what improvements should be made in the corporation and in the government in order not to recur this disaster.
