초록

대학교의 다양한 이익집단들 간의 상호작용과정에서 발생하는 미시정치학적 의미를, 신임교원 선발
과정을 대상으로 해석해 보았다. 각 이익집단들은 가능한 모든 권력을 활용해서, 목적을 달성하려고 연
립의 전략을 활용하기도 하고, 이익집단들 간의 갈등상황을 맞기도 한다. 그런데 갈등을 해결할 수 있는
조정의 기능은 찾아보기 어렵다. 이기고 지는 극단의 경우가 아니라, 이익집단들 간의 갈등을 조정할 수
있는 정치력이 대학의 행정가들에게 필요해 보인다.

영어초록

The university is fragmented into many power blocs and interest groups, and it is natural
that they try to influence decisions so that their values and goals are given primary
consideration. Conflict is natural, and is to be expected in a dynamic organization. Conflict is
not abnormal, nor is it necessarily a symptom of a breakdown in the university.
Micropolitcs refers to the use of formal and informal power by individuals and groups to
achieve their goals in organizations. In large part political action results from perceived
differences between individuals and groups, coupled with the motivation to use power to
influence and protect. Both cooperative and conflictive actions and processes are part of the
realm of micropolitics.
Barcharch and Mundell proposed a framework for identifying the relevant micropolitical
actors, the dimensions of power and the strategies used by these actors. As soon as the
selection procedure of new faculty members begins, the department will be split by age, rank
and the length of time at the department. An individual faculty member attempts to form an
interest group with other individuals. He tries to influence selection decisions, exerting powers
he relies on. Expert power and reference power seem to provide the strong influence to form
an interest group.
An interest group can form a coalition with one or more other interest groups. Or an interest
group with greater power has a greater probability of being able to impose its logic successfully
on the decision without forming coalitions. If interest groups are incompatible on the preference
for applicants, then each group is likely to decide on a strategy of conflict with the other
groups.
Interest groups are not likely to be as willing to negotiate and compromise on decisions and
thus will likely select a strategy of confrontation with other interest groups. Given this conflict,
there is the need in decision making for forming coalitions of interest groups in order to win.
If the dominant coalition wins, the opposing group loses. Then there will be rumors and
gossips on the campus.
In the final process, the administrator becomes a political negotiator among those competing
claims for a fair decision. The role of the administrator is quite literally described as a
politician.
