다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The primary objective of this paper is to interpret cultural collisions and changes in a amalgamated government ministry which was born through the merger of two culturally heterogeneous agencies. The perspective used in this organizational culture research is a interpretative approach, based on schema and the research materials are mainly collected through interviews. To explore this topic, the study is subdivided in to three parts: (1) To interpretate the two host organization`s cultures before the merger. (2) To understand the meaning of cultural conflict or collision in the aftermath of mergers. (3) To infer contingent conditions of organizational changes in terms of schema activation. From the schematic point of view, the merged organization is interpreted as a culture-colliding arena, where two different subcultures coexist and cognitive dissonance occurs between members of the two factions. This cultural clash between the two factions is a fundamentally result of the difference of organization schema that each faction perceives of the other, and the cultural change and contingent conditions of the merged organization should be interproted by the notion of schema activation and in part, in association with evolutionary ideas in sociobiology.
