Abstract

In the case of ICT-enabled organizational changes such as Smart Work, appropriate change management is required. To achieve work-life balance, organizational change management should be conducted from both a structural and a cultural perspective. This study looked at organizational factors that affect Smart Work facilitation through a case study with the view of ICT-enabled change management. From November to December 2019, eight Smart Workers of Company A were interviewed and analyzed for organizational support. The results show that structural support such as institutionalization, ICT infrastructure office environment improvement, Smart Work center as well as cultural support such as enhancing autonomy, communicating style of managers, trusting organizational climate are required. The findings suggest balanced organizational support to provide cultural support along with structural support for activating Smart Work operations. In the future, it is necessary to demonstrate the causality between structural/cultural support factors and outcome factors.

스마트워크와 같이 정보통신기술 주도적 조직 변화의 경우 적절한 변화 관리가 필요하다. 일과 삶의 균형을 달성하기 위해 조직 변화 관리는 구조적 관점뿐만 아니라 문화적 관점에서도 지원되어야 한다. 본 연구는 ICT 주도 변화 관리 관점에서 스마트워크 활성화에 영향을 주는 조직적 지원 요인을 구조적·문화적 요인으로 나눠 사례연구를 수행하였다. 2019년 11월부터 12월에 걸쳐 A사의 8명의 스마트워크 이용자를 인터뷰하여, 조직적 지원에 대해 분석하였다. 사례 분석을 통해 구조적 지원((1) 스마트워크 제도화, (2) 정보기술 인프라, (3) 테이블 책상으로 사무 환경 변경, (4) 스마트워크센터 구축) 뿐만 아니라 문화적 지원((1) 자율성 제고, (2) (중간)관리자의 커뮤니케이션 스타일, (3) 신뢰를 주는 조직분위기)이 필요하다는 점을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 스마트워크 운영의 활성화를 위해 구조적 지원과 더불어 문화적 지원이 제공될 수 있는 균형적 조직적 지원의 필요성을 시사하고 있다. 향후 구조적·문화적 지원 요인과 결과요인인 일과 삶의 균형 및 성과 간 인과관계를 실증할 필요가 있다.
