When Do Public Sector Practitioners Use Policy Evidence?: A Study on the Antecedents of Evidence-Based Practice Using the AMO Model
Jangbum Lee* ; Byeong Jo Kim**

초록

정책 의사결정 과정에서 증거기반 접근의 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있음에도 불구하고 공공부문 실무자들이 업무현장에서 어떤 경우에 증거를 활용하는지에 대한 실증 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구는 정책 의사결정 과정에서 공공부문 실무자들이 증거를 사용하게 만드는 선행요인을 탐색하고자 하였다. AMO모형을 적용하여 개인의 역량, 동기, 기회 요인이 정책 의사결정과정에서 증거 활용에 각각 어떻게 기여하는지 확인하기 위해 공기업 직원 1,003명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 증거활용능력(역량요인), 능동성(동기요인), 심리적안전감 인식(기회요인)이 각각 증거 활용에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인했다. 조직문화의 조절효과 분석에서는 합리문화와 집단문화가 일부 요인들의 영향력을 조절하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 연구는 증거기반 실무를 AMO모형으로 설명하고 조직문화에 따른 차별적 영향을 실증함으로써 증거기반 의사결정 논의의 확장에 기여하였다. 또한 정책 의사결정에서 증거 사용을 촉진하기 위한 구체적인 방안과 조직 관리의 새로운 시사점을 제시하였다.

Abstract

Empirical research on how public sector employees utilize evidence in practical settings remains scarce despite the growing importance of evidence-based approaches in policy decision-making processes. This study aimed to explore the antecedents that drive public sector employees to use evidence in policy decision-making processes. Applying the AMO model, a survey of 1,003 public enterprise employees was conducted and a hierarchical regression analysis performed to examine how individual ability, motivation, and opportunity factors contribute to utilization of evidence in policy decision-making processes. The results revealed that evidence utilization ability (ability factor), proactivity (motivation factor), and perception of psychological safety (opportunity factor) each had significant positive effects on evidence utilization. Analysis of the moderating effects of organizational culture showed that rational culture and group culture moderated the influence of some factors. This study contributes to the expansion of evidence-based decision-making discourse by presenting a new theoretical framework through the integration of the AMO model and evidence-based decision-making discussions, and by empirically demonstrating the differential impacts of organizational culture. Practically, it provides specific strategies for promoting evidence use in policy decision-making and new implications for organizational management. This study offers valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners in the field of public administration and policy by bridging the gap between theoretical development and practical application in evidence-based policy research.
