농어촌 지역개발 담당자의 역량개발 요구

The Competency Development Needs for Rural Community Development Manager: Focusing on Korea Rural Community Corporation

이 연구는 대표적인 국내 농어촌 지역개발 사업 시행기관인 한국농어촌공사의 농어촌 지역개발 담당자의 역량개발 요구를 식별하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 지역개발 담당자의 역량 관련 선행연구에서 제시된 역량과 한국농어촌공사의 농어촌 지역개발 담당자 인터뷰 및 직무기술서 분석을 통해 도출된 역량을 종합하여 한국농어촌공사 농어촌 지역개발 담당자의 역량을 재구성하였고, 내부전문가 10인의 검토를 통해 역량을 수정 및 보완하였다. 이어서 한국농어촌공사의 농어촌 지역개발 담당자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 수집한 454개의 응답자료를 가지고 Borich 교육요구도 및 The Locus for Focus 모형을 활용하여 역량개발 우선순위를 도출하였다. 주요 연구결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지역개발 담당자의 역량은 대인능력 역량군, 업무수행 역량군, 지역개발 역량군 등 3개의 역량군 및 각 역량군에 속한 21개 역량으로 구성되었다. 둘째, Borich 교육요구도와 The Locus for Focus 모형을 종합하여 역량의 개발요구를 살펴본 결과, 법규/정책/규정 이해력, 조정능력, 지역네트워킹, 주민네트워킹, 사업계획수립능력 등 총 5개의 역량이 개발 최우선순위 역량으로써, 가장 시급하게 개발되어야 할 역량으로 나타났으며, 지역역량강화능력, 인적네트워킹 등 2개 역량이 개발 차순위 역량으로써, 개발의 시급성이 비교적 높은 역량으로 나타났다. 연구결과에 입각하여 향후 실천 및 연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the competency development needs for rural community development manager of Korea Rural Community Corporation(KRC), a representative domestic rural development project implementation organization. In order to achieve the research objectives, we developed the draft competency model for rural community development manager with the competencies suggested in the preceding research on the competency of the planners and competencies derived from the interview with rural community development senior manager of KRC and job description of the KRC. This draft competency model was reorganized through the review of 10 internal experts. Subsequently, with 454 response data collected through a questionnaire survey targeting the rural community development managers of KRC and the priority of competency development were derived by using the Borich Needs Assessment Model and The Locus for Focus model. The key findings of this study are as follows. First, the competency of the person in charge of regional development was composed of 3 competency groups, including interpersonal skill competency group, work performance competency group, and regional development competency group, and 21 competencies belonging to each competency group. Second, as a result of determining the needs for competency development by synthesizing the Borich Needs Assessment Model and The Locus for Focus model, a total of five competencies: understanding laws/policies/regulations, coordination, networking with local stakeholders, networking with residents, and project planning were the top priority for development, so the development of these competencies were found to be the most urgent, and two competencies: developing residents’ competency and networking with useful human resources were the second-priority competencies for development, so the urgency of development was relatively high. Based on the research results, suggestions for future practice and research were presented.
