A qualitative study was conducted to investigate the relationship between improvisation and organizational learning for a case of the Mobile Crisis Team (MCT), a mental health emergency response agency. It is found that two types of improvisation in MCT, such as interactional and role improvisation, require continuous interpretation of subtle signals and redefinition of the roles related to those of other participants at the scene. The analysis also identifies key antecedents such as unpredictability, urgency, flexible role structures, minimal procedures, and available resources. Finally, lessons learned from improvisational activities are integrated into the system through three types of learning: learning by doing, learning by sharing, and learning by collaborating. Based on these findings, this paper suggests that improvisation in emergency response, for which the nature of the work inherently involves high risk and unpredictability, is inseparable from organizational practice. Improvisational action in this organization should be understood as an active sense-making and role-making process by organizational members in the moment. This active engagement of participants postulates that there is shared understanding of role structures within the community of practice.

이 연구는 정신건강(mental health) 관련 응급 상황 대처 조직(Mobile Crisis Team)에서 조직학습과 임기응변 (improvisation)의 관계를 고찰한 질적 사례연구이다. 연구 결과에 의하면 두 가지 임기응변 유형, 즉, 상호작용적 임기응변 및 역할 임기응변을 발견할 수 있었다. 각각의 임기응변 유형은 위기 상황에서 주변 상황과 주어진 역 할에 대한 끊임없는 해석을 요구한다. 이러한 임기응변을 통해 얻어진 교훈은 조직 내에서 다양한 경로를 통해 다른 조직 구성원들과 함께 공유, 학습되며, 시스템의 일부로 내재화된다. 따라서 높은 위험도와 낮은 예측가능성 을 수반하는 응급 상황 대응 조직에서는 이러한 임기응변에 의한 학습은 조직 구성원들로 하여금 상황에 대한 판 단을 높여주고, 자신의 역할에 대한 정확한 인지를 가능하게 해주는 기능을 수행한다.
