Abstract

본 연구는 디지털 트랜스포메이션 맥락에서 기업의 경쟁우위와 생존을 도모하기 위해 양손잡이 역량의 다양한 차원을 구현하고 기업수준의 혁신에 기여하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 디지털 기술의 이니셔티브인 디지털 기술 역량이 조직의 다차원(균형적, 결합된 차원)적 양손잡이 역량에 미치는 관계에서, 변환관리의 핵심 역량인 디지털 리더십 역량의 상세요인들(디지털 비전, 디지털 HR 스킬, 디지털 거버넌스, 협력방식)이 갖는 매개효과를 중심으로 검증하였다. 연구의 진행을 위해 국내 제조업과 ICT & 통신업에 종사하는 250명의 중소기업 관리자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 데이터를 활용하였으며, 연구방법으로는 R을 GUI 방식으로 구현한 오픈소스 통계 툴(Tool)인 Jamovi 2.3.26의 응용프로그램을 사용하여 회귀분석을 실시한다. 본 연구는, 디지털 트랜스포메이션 맥락에서 조직 내 긴장을 관리하고 갈등을 해소하는 다차원 양손잡이 역량에 대한 운영방안과 리더십의 역할에 대한 기존지식의 범위를 확장하며, 조직이 속한 산업 환경과 처한 성황에 따라 적절한 양손잡이 역량과 리더십 역량을 사용할 수 있는 최적화된 방안을 제시한다. 또한 디지털 트랜스포메이션 맥락에서 조직이 양손잡이 역량을 도입하고자 할 때, 기술적 이니셔티브에 대한 투자도 물론 중요하지만, 리더십 역량이 가지는 세부요인 의한 양손잡이 역량을 달성함으로써, 더욱 효과적인 디지털 트랜스포메이션을 달성할 수 있다는 기여를 제공할 예정이다
