The leadership type of public servants, organization conflict of public servants, and organization commitment of public servants to attain the goal of organization are considered to be very important realm of research.
However, the researches in the field of local administration have not evaluated those aforesaid relationship from academic viewpoint, and therefore, few reasonable theories have been established which may help lay the groundwork to identify and resolve the practical problems inside the local autonomous organizations.
Thus, this study is intended to present effective and valid measures for managing the organization conflict and organization commitment by conducting the comparative analysis on the leadership, organization conflict, and organization commitment of public servants of local autonomous organization and comparing and analyzing the relevance among the factors pertaining to the organization conflict organization commitment of local public servants.
The purpose of this study is to provide the basis data necessary for ensuring that public servants perform their works faithfully and earnestly and provide high quality public service to the public through the scientific establishment and implementation of policies which are designed to elevate the efficiency of public administration on the basis of the results of this analysis.
To accomplish the research goal stated above, this study attempted to analyze the effect of the leadership type on the organization conflict and the organization commitment of public servants and examine whether the organization conflict would bring about the medium effect in the relationship between the leadership type and the organization commitment.
For that, the literature study and empirical study were conducted basically. In the first place, the relationship among the leadership, organization conflict, and organization commitment was summarized systematically by considering the domestic and foreign literature, internal data of autonomous organization, etc, in order to establish the theoretical background of this study. relationship among the leadership, organization conflict, and organization commitment.
Through the aforesaid theoretical consideration, the research model was established on the relationship among the leadership, organization conflict, and organization commitment in terms of structural effect. The findings of this study suggested the followings:
First, in the regression analysis on the relationship between individual characteristics and organization conflict, it was found that the gender did not have a significant effect statistically in the organization conflict, and the education background had an effect on the prevention and resolution of conflict while the post had an impact on the resolution of conflict. And the number of year of employment had an effect on the prevention and stimulation of conflict.
Second, in the regression analysis on the relationship between the leadership and organization conflict, it was found that the transactional leadership had a statistically significant effect on the prevention, resolution, and stimulation of conflict while transformative leadership had a statistically significant effect on the role conflict, prevention, resolution, and stimulation of conflict.
Third, the results of the regression analysis on the relationship between individual characteristics and organization commitment suggested that the gender had a statistically significant effect on the organization commitment while the education background or post and number of year of employment did not have an effect on the organization commitment.
Fourth, the results of the regression analysis on the relationship between leadership and organization commitment suggested that the transformative leadership had a positive(+) effect on the organization commitment while the transactional leadership had a negative(-) effect on the organization commitment. Thus, the results of analysis indicates that the transformative leadership should be promoted vigorously which can lead both leaders and subordinates to improve their morale and motivation in order to increase the organization commitment of public servants, rather than the transactional leadership.
Fifth, in the regression analysis on the relationship between the organization conflict and organization commitment, it was found that the role conflict had a negative(-) effect on the organization commitment while the conflict prevention had a positive(+) impact on the organization commitment. From the analysis, it was found that the dependence conflict, conflict stimulation, and conflict resolution did not have statistically significant effect. Based on this analysis, it is inferred that the role conflict prevention should improve to reduce the role conflicts such as the dissatisfaction of public servants with the role, excessive assignment of role, vagueness of role and prevent possibile dysfunctional conflict in order to increase the organization commitment of public servants.
Finally, the analysis on what mediary role the organization conflict had in the relationship between the independent variables and resultant variables - which was preceded by the validation of hypothesis based on the direct effect - suggested that the role conflict and the prevention of conflict had an indirect effect on the organization commitment through the medium of transactional leadership and transformative leadership.
In other words, the transactional leadership had a negative(-) impact indirectly on the organization commitment through the medium of role conflict, and had a positive(+) impact indirectly on the organization commitment through the medium of conflict prevention.
And the transformative leadership had a positive(+) impact indirectly on the organization commitment through the medium of role conflict, and had a positive(+) impact indirectly on the organization commitment through the medium of conflict prevention.
In conclusion, the stage of behavioral change in the organization requires the satisfaction with the job. Only the satisfaction with the job leads to the commitment to the job, and the organization commitment can be assured only on the condition of the commitment to the job.
As part of general managerial measures for organization, leaders and subordinates need to be encouraged to have a sense of unity through mutual trust, consideration in relation to work performance, and motivation, so that public servants can perform their duties faithfully and earnestly.
And chiefs of organization need to establish career path for members to ensure that individuals can attain their goals and contribute to the achievement of organization goal, while paying special attention to reflect the characteristics and desire of members when assigning tasks to the members.
Sincere efforts should be made to ensure the modification of duties, if possible, in order to increase the self-control and responsibility of members, improve the welfare of individual members, present the vision of future to them, and secure the stability of job for members.
