과학기술계 정부출연연구기관의 국가직무능력표준(NCS)를 활용한 채용제도 사례연구 : 한국지질자원연구원

이 연구는 국가직무능력표준(NCS)기반 채용제도에 대해 고찰하고, 실제 정부출연연구기관 중 최초로 NCS 채용을 실시하여 공공기관 우수사례로 선정된 한국지질자원연구원의 사례 분석을 통해 향후 채용제도를 새롭게 도입하는 연구기관 등에 효과적으로 적용하기 위한 발전방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구방법으로서 2015년 NCS기반 채용 우수기관인 한국지질자원연구원의 NCS 채용도입 배경, 도입 전후의 채용제도, 제도도입 및 문제해결 과정, 채용자 요건(학위, 공인영어성적, 학점, 입사평균연령 등), 직무배치 등을 사례 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 다음과 같은 의미를 부여할 수 있다. 첫째, NCS 채용이 고학력을 우선시하는 연구기관에도 적용하여 직무형 인재 선발의 새로운 도구가 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, NCS 채용이 직무에 적합한 인재를 적재적소에 배치할 수 있는 제도임을 파악할 수 있었다. 셋째, NCS를 연구기관의 특성에 부합되게 맞춤식으로 유연하게 적용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 넷째, NCS 채용도구의 상당부분이 현재 국가적으로 추진하고 있는 블라인드 채용에 효과적으로 적용되었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 한국지질자원연구원 사례 분석이므로 NCS 채용 도입에 따른 일반화된 결과라고 단정하기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서 제시한 가능성은 향후 다양한 실증연구를 통해 검증되어야 할 것이다. NCS는 획일적인 적용보다는 기업 고유의 특성과 비전, 목표, 철학을 반영하여 적절하게 활용한다면 과학기술계 정부출연연구기관의 인재채용 방식에 적용은 물론 블라인드 채용제도의 연착륙을 통한 향후 능력중심의 사회구현을 위한 핵심적 역할 모델로서 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Technology Focus: Matrix Stimulation (June 2018)

Technology Focus The evolution of horizontal drilling and multistage completions has changed matrix stimulation from the “more acid, better result” belief to effective lateral distribution and deeper penetration with less acid. Large-gallon-per-foot-based treatment became impractical and unnecessary. The constant remains that drilling is blamed for causing formation damage; therefore, matrix stimulation is needed. Underbalanced coiled-tubing drilling aimed at changing this constant, however, has its own drawbacks. For certain lithologies, acid tunneling can be an attractive alternative to rotary-bit drilling. Though the technology was proposed many years ago, its use has been limited. Hardware to control the drilling direction, fluids to dissolve the formation rock efficiently, and jetting dynamics to optimize the rate of penetration have been pushed forward progressively. The goal of stimulation while drilling finally may be achievable. Of course, not all reservoir rock types are readily soluble in chemicals. Cracking the reservoir rock will continue to be the preferred process for sandstone. The first mechanism we think of for rock cracking is hydraulics. Unless full-fledged hydraulic fracturing is required, using high-energy pulses induced by propellant or other chemical reactions can produce sufficient pressure to break the rock past the near-wellbore formation damage. Perfecting the control and job design can lead to efficiency and broader implementation. One question we often ask in the matrix-stimulation domain is “what’s new?” It almost seems that the products and technologies of yesterday have been brought out again and again with minor twists. Indeed, it is amazing how many “new technologies” actually have been around for decades. While most of the industry is busy handling daily operations and logistics, it is encouraging to see universities, government-supported research and development institutes, and even some large service and operating companies studying the science behind the products and technologies. Advanced multiscale, multiphysics mathematical models are used to optimize particle bridging for diverting efficiency; large-scale experimental setups are used to gain insights into differential etching patterns during acid fracturing caused by viscous fingering and heterogeneous reactions, perforation penetration in realistic geometry and stresses, and other phenomena that could not be observed by small-scale laboratory testing. These studies help us appreciate the ingenuity of our predecessors and help us fit the technologies to the right applications better. Recommended additional reading at OnePetro: www.onepetro.org.

A Study on the Determinants of R&D Efficiency in Government-supported Research Institutes Using Tobit

This study attempts to calculate R&D efficiency of patent applications and patent grants by analyzing 18 government-supported research institutes in Korea. Then, we focus on evaluating which external socioeconomic factors affect R&D efficiency. We analyzed efficiency determinants by ruling out inputs directly affecting the efficiency of patent application and patent grants using the Tobit regression method. The results showed that the important determinants affecting the efficiency of patent applications and grants positively are those belonging to the Research Council of Industry Technology, and a higher number of patent grants for the past five years. But the number of years of service for CEOs and the number of years since establishment did not derive statistically significant results for the efficiency of patent applications and grants. A higher number of part-time employees in total full-time workers did not exhibit statistically significant results in efficiency of patent grants, even though it had a positive impact on efficiency of patent applications.

The evolving role of collaboration in developing scientific capability: Evidence from Korean government-supported research institutes

Scholars have emphasized the role of collaboration for the development of scientific capability and economic growth in developing countries. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining the appropriate evidence, there has been little empirical research on the role of collaboration in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolving collaboration strategy of Korea’s government-supported research institutes (GRIs). Using 44 years of bibliographic data, our analytic framework, which considers the dependence and diversity in knowledge creation, established three main findings. First, the transition of knowledge inflow into the competency of research organizations in developing countries requires the drive of the government along with the internalization of knowledge. Second, universities play an important role in sharing knowledge as scientific capability grows. Third, the role of GRIs with regards to collaboration changes as the scientific capability of external R&D entities and policy directions change.

A Study on the Citation Impact of International Collaboration Research for 13 Government-supported Research Institutes of Korea Research Council of Fundamental Science and Technology(KRCF)

Many studies have demonstrated that articles from international collaborations are more cited than articles from domestic collaborations. However, difference between the citation impact of international and domestic co-authored papers is supposed to be widened due to the collaboration strategy adopted by individual institute. In short, each institute will show the significantly different citation impact between international and domestic co-authored papers. In this paper, we applied the index of Incremental Ciation Impact(ICI) to identify the different value of citation impact between international and domestic co-authored papers for research institutes of KRCF, results of which will be understood under the strategy of international research collaboration

An Anatomical Chart of South Korean Science and Technology in the 1960s: Their Relationships with Political Power

This article investigates the reshaping of South Korean science and technology in the first half of Park Chung Hee's administration. The national goal of economic development advocated by the military government was used to promote science and technology. At that time, young scientists and engineers who had studied in the United States formed the π-Club and emerged as leaders of South Korea's scientific community, consistently advocating applied and industrial research. Scientists' newfound political power shifted the core of science and technology from universities to government-supported research institutes, including the Korea Institute of Science and Technology. The state intervened persistently to influence the direction of science and technology. Under these circumstances, despite the rapid advances that applied science made under Park's administration, pure science and basic technology languished.

기업의 혁신 활동이 기업성과에 미치는 영향

This study empirically investigates applicable possibility of open technology innovation with which the government is concerned, by figuring out the relationship between firms` innovation behaviors and innovation outputs and their utilization of information network. Empirical methodology was employed as logit regression to explain firms` innovation behaviors and the data set includes more than 2500 firms in the manufacturing sectors. First, empirical findings showed that firms` innovation competencies and behaviors can be explained as the trend of patent application, sales and innovation outputs significantly. The patents of small and medium-sized businesses are inclined to be positive to information sources of university and government-supported research institute and the sales increased when they had labs to concentrate on R&D. On the other hand, the existence of labor union turn out to be negative to their sales. Second, the types of information network which firms utilize turned out to be connected with their innovation behaviors and purposes. Third, four types of innovation, i.e., product, process, organization, and marketing innovation was employed and innovation behaviors and outputs are well connected.

Prioritizing the weights of hydrogen energy technologies in the sector of the hydrogen economy by using a fuzzy AHP approach

KIER, government supported research institute, establishes a long-term strategic energy technology development roadmap essentially with selection and specialization of energy technology R&D and for Korea's national security. In this paper, we establish a strategic hydrogen energy technology roadmap taking economic impact, commercial potential, inner capacity, and technical spin-off into account. We suggest a methodology to prioritize the relative weights of hydrogen energy technologies of hydrogen energy technology roadmap (ETRM) as we allocate R&D budget effectively using a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which reflects the vagueness of human thoughts instead of crisp numbers efficiently. In the sector of the hydrogen ETRM which is composed of 6 hydrogen energy technologies, PEMFC technology is the most preferred and technology (0.29), followed by DEFC tech (0.28), SOFC tech (0.24), Hydrogen separation & storage tech (0.10), and Hydrogen production tech (0.09).

Factors affecting success of innovation intermediaries of intellectual property assets in Taiwan

The intellectual property (IP) asset transaction market in Taiwan has rapidly emerged in recent years. Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the largest government-supported research institute in Taiwan, has accumulated successful experience as an IP intermediary. Our study reports ITRI's innovative patent transaction model and uses the expert opinion method to investigate what types of resources and capabilities are important to IP intermediaries. Our findings suggest that networking with local industries, efficient seller-buyer match and transaction consultancy are considered as key success factors (KSFs) contributing to the success of IP intermediaries.

DEA and ranking with the network-based approach: a case of R&D performance

This study enhances the network-based approach, which is a novel method to increase discrimination in data envelopment analysis. The enhancements include removing the bias caused by a scale difference among organizations and highlighting the approach's ability to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each organization. The former makes the approach applicable to both the constant returns of scale (CRS) and the variable returns of scale (VRS) models. The network-based approach applies the centrality concept developed in social network analysis to discriminate efficient decision making organizations as determined by standard data envelopment analysis (DEA). More specifically, the results of data envelopment analysis are transformed into a directed and weighted network in which each node represents a decision making organization and the link between a pair of node represents the referencing relationship between the pair. The centrality value for each efficient organization provides the base for discrimination and ranking. This network-based approach suggests aggregating DEA results of different input/output combinations such that the merits of each organization under various situations can be considered. The final ranking of this approach favors organizations that have their strengths evenly spread and tends to screen out specialized efficient organizations. As a real world example, the approach is applied to evaluate and rank the R&D (research and development) performance of Taiwan's government-supported research institutes. The cross-organizations and within-organization strengths for each efficient research institute are identified after applying the approach. A two-stage R&D evaluation model separates the R&D process into the technology development and technology diffusion stage. The resulting performance map differentiates the research institutes into four categories—Achievers, Marketers, Innovators, and Underdogs.

회색문헌 통합관리 체계에 관한 연구

본 연구는 국내 각 기관에서 소장하거나 생산하고 있는 회색문헌을 체계적으로 수집하고 공유하여 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위해서 회색문헌이 갖고 있는 특성과 유형을 분석하였으며, 회색문헌이 갖는 특성 가운데 회색문헌의 공유를 저해하는 열람제한의 특징에 대해서도 조사하였다. 또한 이러한 제한을 극복하기 위한 방법을 도출하고 실제적인 회색문헌 집중관리 시스템을 개발하기 위해 필요한 기초 정보를 조사하였다. 기초자료와 정보를 입수하기 위해 회색문헌을 수집, 처리 및 서비스하는 기관의 정보관리 담당자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문결과 정보관리담당자들은 보고서를 회색문헌의 여러 종류중에서 가장 중요하다고 판단하였으며, 지도와 학위논문과 같은 자료에 대해서는 그 중요도를 상대적으로 낮게 보고 있었다. 또한 자관 회색문헌에 대해서는 보수적인 입장을 견지하고 있으며 외부 자료에 대해서는 열람을 희망하고 있었다. 따라서 회색문헌 공유를 위한 유인책으로는 경제적 지원보다 자료의 공유라는 유인책이 효과적임을 확인하였다. The purposes of the study were to identify the characteristics and types of grey literatures, to investigate the factors restricting the sharing of grey literatures in Korea, and to make recommendations for the efficient collection and utilization system of grey literatures being produced and managed by either government agencies or government-supported research institutes in Korea. A survey instrument was designed to measure the current status of grey literature management systems and to elicit expert opinions from information professionals in information centers for an efficient system of grey literatures. It was found that information professionals considered the technical reports as the most important type of grey literatures, but maps and dissertations as the least important type of information value. Related to the participation for the central system of grey literatures, many respondents preferred to utilize the grey literatures owned by other information centers, but they showed a neutral interest level in sharing their information centers' grey literatures with other centers.

Developments of the evaluation system of government-supported research institutes in Korean science and technology

The evaluation system of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) — a leading Korean research institute, which has been operating its evaluation system since 1993, earlier than 19 other government-supported research institutes — is appraised. Desirable directions for the development of ETRI's evaluation system are suggested. An analytic framework is proposed, comprising evaluation paradigm, basic components of evaluation, supportive components of evaluation and evaluation utilization, and these four main components are subclassified as 14 subcomponents of R&D evaluation. ETRI needs further development in evaluation activities, especially in evaluation purposes and evaluation utilization. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
