환경변화에 따른 프로젝트성 산업내 조직의 적응행동변화에 관한 연구

By analyzing adaptive behaviors of project-based organizations in Korean film making industry during 1961-1980, this study attempted to empirically examine the concept of 'organizational capability'. The concept of organizational capability suggests that an organization's capability of effectively utilizing others' as well as its own resources may be more critical than its mere possession of precious resources. Contingency theory suggests that organizations pursue efficiency in relatively stable and predictable environment, while pursue innovation and adaptation in dynamic and uncertain environment. Based on these extant theories, we propose that an organization's usage pattern of critical resources could partly reflect its organizational capability, especially for the case of project-based organizations like film makers. More specifically, it is proposed that Korean film making firms most of which are project-based would show different patterns of utilizing two critical outside resources, actors and directors, in 1960s and 1970s. It is hypothesized that Korean film makers tend to employ same actors and directors more repeatedly in 1960s than in 1970s because 1960s had relatively more stable environments than 1970s. Empirical results support hypothesized relationships and the operationally defined concept of organizational capability for project-based organization.
