우리나라 공공기관의 리더십 권력유형과 조직특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

In South Korea, there are various types of public corporations: electricity management, funds management, train transportation management and so on. The impact of public corporations on the national economy is tremendous, so there have been various studies designed for effective management of public corporations. However, there have been only a few studies on the relationship between leadership power and organizational characteristics. Henry Minzberg suggests that organizations can be more effective when leadership power fits organizational characteristics. James Q. Wilson argue that the nature of tasks and constituencies are most important factors in organizational characteristics. Based on the argument of Mintzberg and Wilson, this study explores sixty one public corporations and their leadership management. This study hypothesizes that the high fitness between leadership power and organizational characteristics contributes to organizational effectiveness. The results of this study show, however, that the level of fitness in those sixty one public corporations is not high, although some positive changes are found.
