Abstract

Authentic leadership emphasizes not only increases of production and profits but also establishment of morals and authentic in organizational management. In modern management theories, traditional so-called pseudo-leadership, which focuses on maximizing financial profits, are gradually diminishing as the importance of authentic leadership are widely accepted in various organizations. However, a few researches have focused on organizational outcome produced by authentic leadership. In this research, the relationship between authentic leadership and organizational commitment is examined in an endeavor to present the direction of leadership-related researches. Results include: first, the reliabilities of survey tools for authentic leadership, job commitment and organizational commitment were excellent using Cronbach's alpha; second, relationships between authentic leadership, job commitment and organizational commitment indicated positive correlations showing statistical significance in job commitment and organizational commitment; and finally, the relationship between job commitment and organizational commitment were positive by regression analysis.

본 연구는 무한경쟁의 자유시장체제 하에서 진정성 없이 부정을 저지르면서도 재무적 이익을 극대화하던 조직 내 가짜 리더십(pseudo leadership)의 한계점을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 리더십, 즉 진성리더십(ethical leadership)에 대해 이론적으로 고찰해보고 조직 경영(organizational management)에 있어서의 진성리더십의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있음에도 불구하고 진성리더십이 조직 및 팀에 미치는 성과에 대한 연구들은 여전히 부족한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 진성리더십 관련 선행 연구들을 고찰해 보고 직무몰입과 조직몰입과의 관계를 규명해 봄으로서 리더십 연구가 나아갈 방향을 제시해보고자 한다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 진성리더십과 직무몰입, 조직몰입을 조사한 신뢰도는 모두 높게 나타났으며, 둘째, 진성리더십과 직무몰입, 조직몰입의 상관관계를 확인한 결과, 모두 정(+)의 상관관계가 나타났으며, 직무몰입과 조직몰입만이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 셋째, 회귀분석결과에서도 직무몰입이 조직몰입에 양의 관계가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.
