조직분석방법으로서의 메타포 분석의 적용가능성 탐색: 국방부 본부 조직의 사례를 중심으로

초록

In order to understand and manage contemporary organizations, metaphor analysis of an organization can be useful as it provides a future direction of the organization. The purpose of this study was to apply a metaphor analysis method as a tool for analyzing organizations to identify its applicability to organization study. For this purpose, the Ministry of National Defence was chosen as a research case, and data were collected from individual interviews, survey, and focus group interview with organizational experts in the NMD. The metaphor analysis from participants produced 125 metaphors about the MND as an organization, and those were categorized into 8 themes as used by Morgan's study. The result confirmed that Mongan's 8 categories in organizational metaphor is useful as an analytical tool for identifying the members' perceptions about the MND. In addition, the study result suggested that HRD practitioners can use metaphor analysis to understand and manage the organization. Future directions were recommended to use metaphor analysis in HRD research.
