産地再編下における組織コンフリクトの発生と適応行動に関する実証的分析

The purpose of this article is to show the problems arising with unification of agricultural cooperative marketing which have occurred in the production districts, strongly pressed for reorganization, and is to examine the reorganizational direction of agricultural cooperative marketing. The main research results are as follows. Firstly, the production district can be regarded as an organization, and it became clear that the double relationships which exist between principal and agent are established among farm households, shipment associations and the agricultural cooperative. Moreover, it became clear that Peach sectional meeting exists as an adjustmental organization between the shipment associstions and the agricultural cooperative. Secondly, We examined the process of talks and their rupture concerning the integration of pooling among shipment associations based on March=Simon organization conflict theory. Especially, organizational conflict was generated over the conditions for the integration of pooling, and it became clear that there were three confrontational axes which : between a functional organization and territorial organizations, between leaders of shipment associations and general farm households, and between large-scale and small-scale territorial organizations. Thirdly, the action which each shipment took after such organizational conflict had arisen, can be regarded as the adapational action to such conflicts, and the shipment associations were generally reorganized into three large groups. As for the direction of agricultural cooperative marketing in the future, we pointed out that it is important for integration of pooling not to be aimed at by these three groups, but that each group should raise functionality through movements at the individual level.
