임파워링 리더십과 혁신 행위 간에 미치는 자기효능감의 매개효과 = A Mediation Effect of Self-Efficacy between Empowering Leadership and Innovative Behavior

국문 초록 (Abstract)

환경의 불확실성이 커지면서 조직 구성원들의 혁신 행위에 대한 기업의 관심은 점점 더 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 최근 유연한 조직과 수평적 의사결정 방식이 강조되면서 주목받고 있는 임파워링 리더십이 조직 구성원들의 혁신 행위를 유발하는데 어떤 메커니즘을 수반하고 있는지 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 국내 패션 관련 산업에 있는 중견기업이며, 설문에는 총 243명이 참가하였다. 분석 결과, 임파워링 리더십은 조직 구성원의 자기효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 자기효능감은 임파워링 리더십이 구성원들의 혁신 행위를 촉진하는데 긍정적인 매개 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 그동안 임파워링 리더십 연구가 개인의 창의성 및 팀 성과에 미치는 영향에 집중되었다는 점을 감안해 볼 때, 임파워링 리더십이 개인의 혁신 행위와 자기효능감에 미치는 긍정적 결과를 입증함으로써 기존 리더십 및 심리적 변인 관련 연구 영역을 확대하는데 기여하였다. 아울러, 급변하는 환경에 구성원들의 혁신 행위를 유도하기 위해 리더는 권한 위임과 자율성을 부여하는 임파워링 리더십을 슬기롭게 발휘하여 구성원들의 자기효능감을 유발해야 한다는 점을 실증적으로 보여줌으로써 기업교육과 관련된 실천적 지혜도 함께 제시하였다.

This study aims to identify the relationships among the empowering leadership, individual self efficacy, and innovative behavior. Our study data were collected from 243 employees in a general merchandise fashion-brand company. Our empirical results suggest that (1) empowering leadership is positively associated with innovative behavior. (2) In addition, empowering leadership is positively related to self efficacy. (3) Finally, self efficacy tends to strengthen the relationship between empowering leadership and innovative behavior. The results provide that organizations emphasize to boost employee innovative behavior and self-efficacy through leaders' empowering leadership. Our study suggests that organizations must train leaders to develop skills of autonomy, participative decision making, and empowerment coaching. We discuss implications for educational fields and provide future research directions.
