조직 내 사회적 자본 개념의 재해석 - 의사소통행위이론 관점을 중심으로 -

The purpose of this study is to re-interpret social capital in organization. Many studies of social capital have been conducted combined with knowledge management(KM) to show its direct and indirect effectiveness in organizations in terms of structural, relational, and cognitive levels of social capital. However, those of outcomes draw underestimates the value of cognitive level of social capital owing to concentrate on the structural-functional effect of social capital. Therefore, this study tried to analyse and understand the value of cognitive level of social capital with perspective of communicative theory by Habermas. Based on this the research questions are (1)what relations between social capital and the communicative theory are, and (2)how we can analyze out implications from the communicative theory to the human resources development. Through literature review we could find the potential for contributions of the cognitive levels of social capital to the organizational performance and its development although it is a nascent stage to appreciate its value at this moment. As a result of this research, a few implications are proposed. First, it can provide extended views of social capital which is limited to only two dimensions like relational and structural dimension. Second, it suggests to broaden the views of organizational learning theories which is dividend as a dichotomy approach like instrumental perspective vs social process perspective. We may consider communicative learning perspective as a comprehensive frame. Finally, we can explore the new learning content based on the importance of cognitive dimension of social capital. They may be weighing on the languages itself include narratives and discourse, and its interpretation intra- and inter-organizations for example.
