情報化社會에 있어 女性政策專澹 中央行政組織의 組織效果性에 관한 硏究

Abstract

This study was intended to probe the plan as to what the central administrative organizations exclusively in charge of woman policy in an information age and what it should be organized like. Two aspects of several environmental changes in an information age can be said to be changes in the social principle and human-centered changes. The remarkable one of changes in the social principle is that the prime mover driving the society has been transformed from muscular strength to intellectual power to creative power. And the central structure of the society has been changed from the vertical and independent structure to the horizontal and flexible structure moving in the interrelationship. In keeping with this trend, there have been rapid changes in the sector related to the right of equality and the status of women that are the global trend. Accordingly, this study attempted to analyze the effect that this change in the social environment had on the central administrative organization exclusively in charge of woman policy and, based on this result of analysis, to present the plan for the administrative organizations in terms of organizational effectiveness. With conjunction with the research method, this study was conducted with an emphasis on the literature that synthesized and analyzed the results of theoretical and empirical research conducted by several scholars. And it was conducted through formal materials and research materials such as current laws and standing order with respect to the current organizations exclusively in charge of woman policy. Chapter 2 attempted to investigate how the administrative organizations was specifically being changed in an information age through an theoretical inquiry into the information-oriented society and the contemporary organizations. And it presented the method for organizational effectiveness and the framework of analysis for the central administrative organizations exclusively in charge of woman policy. Chapter 3 divided the environmental variable into the domestic environmental variable and the international environmental variable for specific analysis. It provided an analysis of the following eight variables: such domestic environmental variables as i) individual environment(top policymaker), ii) economic power(changes in the population structure), iii) national competitiveness(female human resources), iv) legal rights(women's rights), v) productive welfare(improvement in women's quality of life), vi) social structure(shift in thinking) ;and such international environmental variables as i) international trends of the woman problem and ii) the trends of the UN. Chapter 4 provided an investigation into the evolutional process of the heretofore woman policy and its administrative organizations and presented the present situation and problem of the special committee on women that is the organizations exclusively in charge of the woman policy at this point in time. Chapter 5 based upon the results of analysis provided in Chapter 3, presented the direction of design applying i) the formative factors of the organizational structure- role, status, authority and power, and organizational form- and ii) the principle of additional function. Chapter 6 presented the model if the central administrative organizations exclusively in charge of the woman policy in an information age. What should the central administrative organizations be like to achieve the woman policy efficiently in an information age? That is, how should the central administrative organizations be designed in terms of organizational effectiveness? It was the vertical and uniform organizations in an industrialized society, in which the administrative agency such as an independent ministry or agency was valid that could assume clear responsibility. But in an information age, environmental uncertainty, sophistication and diversification of human needs, transcendence of time/space due to computerization, relaxation and breakdown of the boundary between areas and the like are toppling down the existing structure through making the organizational structure flexible and horizontal, inter-organizational networking and the like. And the organizational structure of the industrial society can now not secure competitiveness any more and has the limitation that it can not only perceive the rapidly changing environment but cope with it. In consequence, the woman policy is based on human dignity and also is deeply related to every policy. Therefore, this study attempted to present the organizational structure of networking type oriented towards the computerized system and information as the administrative organization for woman policy.
