Abstract

It is expected that expanded use of smartphone and enhanced information technology will enable smartwork to change individuals and organizations. Smartwork is expected to allow people to perform their roles without barriers of time and space. However, people tend not to accept and actively utilize smartwork. The present study is to examine how important flexibility-willingness is for performance outcome in the context of smartwork. It was hypothesized that flexibility-willingness mediates between perceived smartwork usefulness and work-family conflict. It was also hypothesized based on technology acceptance model that task interdependence and process control moderates the relationship between flexibility-willingness and work-family conflict because the relationship is not consistent. The results show that the mediation effect of the flexibility-willingness is statistically significant. The moderator effects of task interdependence was marginal proved but process control wasn't. From these results, we discussed the theoretical implications of findings, limitations, suggestions for future research in discussion.

스마트폰의 확산과 정보통신기술의 발전으로 스마트워크가 가져올 개인과 기업 측면의 변화에 대한 기대가 높다. 특히 스마트워크를 통해 시간과 공간에 제약을 받지 않은 채 일과 가정 두 영역에서의 역할을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 하지만, 스마트워크에 대한 근로자의 수용 의도가 낮고 실제 활용률도 떨어지는 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 이와 같은 현상에 주목하면서 본 연구에서는 스마트워크 환경에서 기대성과가 나타나는데 있어 중요한 변인으로 근로자의 유연경계추구의도를 설정하고 심리적 기제가 미치는 영향에 대해 검증하고자 했다. 연구의 목적에 맞춰 기술수용모델 관점에서 스마트워크 유용성 지각과 일-가정 갈등 사이에서 유연경계추구의도가 매개변인으로 작용할 것으로 예상하고 연구를 진행했다. 한 편 근로자의 스마트워크에 대한 활용 의도가 있더라도 일-가정 갈등이 높아지는 현상에 있어서 현재의 조직 상황에서의 역할 방해 요인이 있을 것으로 보고 과업상호의존성과 과정통제의 조절효과에 대한 검증도 함께 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 유연경계추구의도의 완전 매개효과가 검증되었고, 과업상호의존성과 과정통제의 조절효과의 경우, 과업상호의존성만이 조절효과의 경향성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.
