공직사회의 노동자참여(EI)와 발언, 노조몰입에 관한 실증연구

At this moment that importance of public servants’ labor relations become intensified in the overall domestic labor relations, this article reports on whether EI and Voice in the officialdom have an effect on union commitment of public servants and also investigates whether official’s voice about jobs plays a mediating role between EI and union commitment. First, by testing the hypothesis 1 about EI and Voice, their relation had a significant and positive impact. That is, if EI in the officialdom becomes activated, the level of voice about jobs also becomes higher. But except high-level officials who are above assistant director, the lower rankers have a negative relation with Voice. Secondly, the hypothesis 2 and 3 about EI, Voice and union commitment was concluded statistically positive. That is, if EI and Voice become strengthened, the level of union commitment also becomes higher. In addition, compared to the public servants from the Korean Government Employees’ Union(KGEU), those from Federation of Government Employees(FGE) and Korea Democracy Employees' Unoin (KDEU) make stronger union commitment as the level of EI and Voice becomes higher. When it comes to the level of education, public servants with college degree or more have a negative. Thirdly, as a result of testing the mediating role of Voice between EI and union commitment, official’s voice about jobs is verified playing a complete mediating role. Therefore, if EI in the officialdom become activated, the right to speak of public servants becomes stronger and the recognition of public servant’s labor relations also does. As a result, in the officialdom, EI and union are in the supplementing relations. Based on this finding, government and union should make efforts to enhance EI such as collective bargaining and set up a system in order to advance the civil service and strengthen rights and interests of public servants.
