남성경찰관의 여성경찰관 동료신뢰 영향요인 탐색

A Study on Exploring the Influencing Factors of Male Police Officers’ Trust on Female Police Officers

이 연구는 남성경찰관이 여성경찰관을 동료로써 인식하고 신뢰하고 있는가? 라는 다소 회의적인 물음에서 시작되었다. 신뢰는 협력에 따른 인지된 불확실성을 줄여주고, 위험을 무릅써야 하는 행동을 용이하게 하기에 위험하고 돌발적인 업무상황에 자주 노출되는 경찰의 특성상 동료간의 신뢰가 필수적이다. 동료신뢰를 저해하는 요인을 탐색함에 있어서 크게 개인관련 특성(신뢰성향, 권위에 대한 동조, 여성경찰과 근무경험), 조직관련 특성(양가적 성차별, 조직의 양성평등 정도), 그리고 여성경찰 특성(능력과 배려, 개인주의)으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 또한 동료신뢰는 인지적 신뢰와 정서적 신뢰로 유형을 세분화하여 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 토대로 남녀경찰관의 신뢰향상을 위하여 여자경찰을 동료로 인식함에 있어서 저해요인 및 조직분위기 개선방안을 살펴보고, 동료간 상호신뢰를 바탕으로 업무성과 제고에 기여할 수 있는 현실적인 인적자원관리 방안을 모색해보고자 한다.

This article started from a question that if male police officers who takes up the majority of the organization perceive female police officers as their partners and trust them. Trust reduces the perceived uncertainty associated with collaboration, facilitates actions to take risks, and promotes cooperation and constructive attitudes. This is the reason the trust among colleagues is essential due to the nature of the police which are often exposed to dangerous and unexpected situations during their tasks. In other words, if the trust between male and female police officers is not assured as a colleague, it will have a negative influence not only on the individual members but also on the performance of the organization. In order to examine the factors that inhibit peer trust, factors were classified into personal characteristics(personal tendency to trust, accordance with authority, previous work experience with female police), organizational characteristics (ambiguous sexual discrimination, and the degree of gender equality in the organization) and female police characteristics(ability and consideration, individualism). Also, peer trust is divided into cognitive trust and emotional trust. Based on the results of this study, it examined the factors of inhibition and the improvement of organizational atmosphere in recognizing female officers as colleagues to improve the trust between male and female police officers, and looking for a practical human resource management plan that can contribute to improving work performance based on mutual trust among colleague officers.
