윌다브스키의 searching for safety 재조명: 조직자원과 리더십이 조직 회복탄력성에 미치는 영향을 중심으로

The coronavirus outbreak has accelerated many changes along with the global crisis, and the government's resilient operation has never been more noticeable to solve the unpredictable social problem. Despite the importance of resilience, previous studies dealing with resilience in public administration have mainly treated resilience as characteristics of individuals or situational factors that affect individuals. Thus, this study sheds light on Wildavsky's discourse on resilience, identifying factors that determine the resilience of public organizations. Specifically, this research applied Wildavsky's high-flux, flatness, and redundancy principles to resources in the organization, designating job resources, decision-making, and performance feedback as antecedents of organizational resilience. In addition, based on the contextual and situational leadership theory, the effects of transformational and transactional leadership on organizational resilience and interaction with resources were analyzed. Utilizing the 2020 Korean public employee perception survey, as well as adopting a hierarchical linear model (HLM), this study demonstrated that resources and leadership in the organization had a significant impact on organizational resilience. Drawing on the empirical results, this study not only provided political implications for public organization management practitioners but also contributed to the expansion of the theory by applying Wildavsky's discourse to the resilience of public organizations.
