The ‘Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) Construction Project’ is a huge and complicated national project related to the long-term electric supply plan. And interests of the related parties such as government, regulatory parties, companies under contract to the project, and the local communities are mixed up. Therefore a new approach for efficient management and success of the project is required and imposing PMO, Project Management Office, is considered as one of the solutions. 700The ‘K-company’ is the only firm managing operation and construction of domestic nuclear power plants. There are multiple projects which are constructing five nuclear power units and preparing four units in the K-company, but it does not have PMO. There are studies with the opposite results about the effect of the PMO while IT and financial corporate in and outside of the country start using it. There is no case of studying the expected effect of the imposing PMO to the nuclear power plant construction project. So in this study, the PMO functions which have possible impact to the NPP construction project will be drawn and suggested as efficient way for the successful project. In the model of this study, the functions of PMO including practice management, infrastructure management, resource integration, technical support, and business alignment are used as independent variables and the project performances such as task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes are used as dependent variables. Using these variables, it formulates a hypothesis that PMO functions would have positive effect on the project performance and it conducts verification analysis and hypothesis test via survey which is designed for the people who have the experience for the K-company’s NPP project’. The result shows that practice management, resource integration, and technical support have positive effect on the task outcomes, infrastructure management and resource integration affect psychological outcomes positively, and practice management and infrastructure management have positive influence on the organizational outcomes. This research implicates that in order to improve the project outcomes, the method of managing NPP construction project, providing the standard process, practicing previous data efficiently, formulating infrastructure properly, and training professionals by making human resource pool are crucial. Also managing and cooperating with the related parties and firms under contract to the company are important even though there is no meaningful result. This research could not explain everything because the inside PMO functions and outside ones are not separable and there is no longitudinal study. It is needed to find the most efficient and effective PMO functions in the future based on this study and expected to help provide stable electric supply.

국내외에서는 IT업계나 금융계를 중심으로 PMO 도입이 확산되고 있는 가운데, PMO의 도입효과에 대한 상반된 견해의 선행연구가 공존하고 있다. 원전건설 프로젝트를 대상으로 PMO 도입효과를 연구한 사례는 없으며, 본 연구에서는 원전건설 프로젝트 성과에 영향을 주는 PMO의 기능을 도출하여 향후 성공적인 프로젝트 추진을 위한 효율적인 PMO 도입방안으로 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 모형은 PMO의 기능을 실행관리, 기반관리, 자원통합관리, 기술지원관리, 업무연계성이라는 측면에서 측정하여 독립변수로 사용하고, 프로젝트 성과를 직무성과, 심리성과, 조직성과의 세 가지 측면으로 측정하여 종속변수로 사용하여 PMO의 기능이 프로젝트의 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 설정하고, K사의 프로젝트 경험인력을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 실증분석을 실시하고 가설검정을 수행하였다. 그 결과로 실행관리, 자원통합 및 기술지원 기능이 프로젝트의 직무성과에 정(+)의 영향을, 기반관리 및 자원통합 기능이 심리성과에 정(+)의 영향을, 실행관리와 기반관리 기능이 조직성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
