한국 대학의 비정년트랙 전임교원 고용의 결정요인들에 관한 연구: 거시 조직이론의 관점을 중심으로

With the worldwide diffusion of contingent employment in recent years, academic inquiries of this issue also have rapidly increased. Nevertheless, prior studies focused mostly on intra-organizational determinants of contingent employment from HRM or IR perspectives without taking into consideration potential effects of more macro-level factors such as organizational, institutional, and environmental level factors, which have been studied primarily in the field of macro organizational theory. In this regards, this paper examines the potential effects of macro-level determinants on contingent employment through an empirical analysis of non-tenure track faculty in Korean universities. The research model of this paper draws on various theoretical paradigms of macro organization theory such institutional theory, contingency theory, status theory and behavioral theory of the firm. The results of our empirical study that analyzed the macro determinants of non-tenure track faculty in 211 Korean universities 2007-2013, the employment of non-tenure track faculty turned out to be affected significantly by social discourses and environmental uncertainty. Moreover, we also found that the effects of the two variables are moderated by organizational status and performance feedback. General implications are discussed.
