| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to propose measures for improving organizational culture to stabilize the supply and demand of construction
engineers. To achieve this, the types and levels of organizational culture in the construction industry, where construction engineers are
currently active, were systematically examined and analyzed. The study found that the current organizational culture in the construction
industry is primarily performance-oriented, emphasizing stability and control. In contrast, the desired culture of the 2030 generation values
community, innovation, flexibility, and autonomy. Significant differences were observed between the 2030 and 4060 generations in their
perceptions of organizational culture. The 2030 generation, which showed the lowest level of organizational culture, expressed particularly
negative views on motivation, generational inclusiveness, workplace atmosphere, and innovation and learning. At the individual level, a
negative organizational culture most commonly led to a decline in job satisfaction, while at the organizational level, frequent turnover was
observed. To address these issues effectively, it is essential to establish a dedicated organization, develop a clear vision and strategic
framework, and implement performance management and compensation systems, supported by government initiatives. The findings of this
study can serve as practical baseline data for improving organizational culture in the construction industry. However, the study is limited in
that it does not present specific improvement measures differentiated by sector or gender. Future research will aim to address these
limitations. |
