Abstract

In the case of the government, which plays a pivotal role in the landscape architecture system, the management of positions in landscape architectural organizations is lacking. At the local government level, while public officials for managing landscape architecture are being hired, there are problems and vulnerabilities in both management and system operations as such public officials recruited for positions in landscape architectural services operate under the forestry service. Accordingly, this study analyzed the Korean administrative system of public officials in the landscape architectural service and their satisfaction with the organizational culture and behavior. The aim was to provide practical data for improving the job satisfaction of public officials in landscape architectural service and enhance the status of landscape architecture. First, a survey was conducted regarding current organizational culture/behavior and job adequacy, and differences when compared to different job series with regards to the public officials in the landscape architectural service. The results indicated that job satisfaction of those in landscape architectural service was generally high, but they showed strong centralization, i.e., orders from superiors and limitations on autonomy. Second, an analysis was conducted to improve the organizational culture/behavior and job satisfaction of public officials in the landscape architectural service, and a comparative analysis was conducted on the differences between the analysis result and preceding studies by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs(2006). The results indicated that organizational commitment/satisfaction of public officials in the landscape architectural service was relatively low among those who had a great amount of work experience related to forestry. Therefore, it was shown that it is necessary to ensure expertise in landscape architecture. Third, a comprehensive analysis was conducted regarding the influences on "working environment", "legal system" and "job allocation" in regard to public officials in land architectural service. The results indicated that satisfaction in the value system was high when given significance to the job as public officials in land architectural. However, their satisfaction in the land architectural system was low due to the lack of independence in their positions, the vulnerable legal system of land architectural service and low employment rates. Fourth, current public officials in landscape architectural service process tasks such as forestry, architecture, city planning and administration that are not related to their area of expertise. Therefore, an analysis was conducted on whether there is a difference in the job satisfaction of public officials in landscape architectural service according to statistical variables. It was identified that "legal system", "job satisfaction" and "organizational commitment" with regard to public officials in landscape architectural service can be improved through ensuring their expertise. This study suggests the following tasks to further inquire into landscape architecture in general. First, establish an identity of work allocation for public officials in the landscape architectural service, and second, establish an organizational constitution according to the positions in landscape architectural service. Accordingly, it is necessary for interested parties of landscape architecture to devise practical strategies so that such tasks can be converged administratively and reflected in policies.

조경 체계의 중심이 되는 정부에서도 조경 조직의 직제 운영이 미흡하다. 지방정부의 경우, 조경직 공무원을 채용하고 있으나, 운영상에 있어서는 임업직으로 운영하는 등 관리운영의 문제점과 제도운영의 취약성이 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 조경직 공무원 행정제도 분석과 조직문화 행태의 만족도를 분석하였다. 이에 조경직 공무원의 직무만족 향상을 위한 실천적인 자료를 제공하고, 조경의 위상을 제고하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 첫째, 현재 조경직 공무원의 조직 문화 행태와 직무의 적정성 그리고 타 직렬 공무원들과 어떤 차이가 있는지 설문조사를 실시했다. 설문조사 분석 결과, 조경직 공무원으로서 직무만족은 대체로 높으나, 집권화 즉, 상관의 지시 명령, 자율성 제한 등은 강한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조경직 공무원의 조직문화 행태 및 직무만족 향상을 위해 연구 분석을 실시하고 기존의 행정자치부(2006) 선행연구 자료와 차이를 비교분석하였다. 그 결과, 조경직 공무원이면서 임업관련 직무를 많이 하고 있는 그룹이 상대적으로 조직몰입 만족도가 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 조경직 공무원의 조경 전문성 확보가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, '조경직 직무환경', '조경직 법적 제도' 그리고 '조경직 직무분장'에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 조경직 공무원으로서 갖는 의의를 직무에 부여하여, 가치체계는 높은 만족도를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 조경직 직제의 독립성 부족, 조경직 법적 제도의 위기성, 낮은 채용 등 조경직제와 관련된 만족도는 낮게 분석되었다. 넷째, 현재 조경직 공무원이 조경업무가 아닌 임업, 건축, 도시계획, 행정 등의 직무를 처리하고 있어, 전문성을 제대로 살리지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 통계학적 변수에 따라 조경직 공무원의 직무만족에 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 조경 직무에 전공자의 전문성을 확보해야 '조경직 법적 제도', '조경직 직무만족', '조경직 조직몰입도'가 높아진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 다음과 같은 향후 연구 과제를 제시할 수 있다. 첫째, 조경직 공무원의 직무분장 정체성 확립, 둘째, 조경직제에 의한 조직구성 확립 등으로 요약할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 과제들이 행정적으로 수렴되고, 정책에 반영될 수 있도록 조경과 관련된 모든 이해관계자들의 실질적인 대응전략이 필요하다.
