다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study empirically examined the relationship between career orientations and various work-related performances of R&D professionals. The career orientation of R&D professionals encompassed local-cosmopolitan orientations, while the performance was measured in terms of the number of patents acquired, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and perceived team efficacy. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were undertaken using data from 1333 R&D professionals in divisional technology development centers of a large company in the electronics industry. The results of the principal component analysis revealed two factors of career orientation of R&D professionals: professional-and organizational-orientation. Other statistical results indicate that: 1) a correlation between professional and organizational orientation of R&D professionals is significantly high; 2) education level, age, and organization tenure are significantly associated with the formation of career orientation; 3) professional orientation has a significant impact on various work-related performance variables ; and 4) professional and organizational orientation have a complementary effect on performance only when task uncertainty is high. Based on aforementioned results, this study finally discussed managerial implications and suggested several directions for future research.
