Abstract

The current study empirically tests the mediating effects of political skills on the relationship between proactive personality and upward influence. In this study, we attempted to mitigate common method bias by collecting data from two sources. 275 pairs of returned questionnaires were utilized to verify the hypotheses. According to the hierarchical regression, proactive personality and 4 political skills have impact on upward influence positively. proactive personality was positively related to political skills. In addition social astuteness, interpersonal influence and apparent sincerity mediate relationship between proactive personality and upward influence. but networking ability does not have mediating effect. Based on these results, implications and limitations of this study arediscussed and future research direction are suggested.

본 연구는 부서원이 지각하는 부서장의 주도적 성격과 상향 영향력간 관계에 있어서 부서원이 지각하는 부서장의 정치적 기술의 4가지 하위차원의 매개효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 동일방법 오류를 방지하기 위하여 자료 수집의 원천을 달리하였다. 연구결과, 첫째 부서원이 지각하는 부서장의 주도적 성격은 부서원이 지각하는 부서장의 정치적 기술의 4가지 차원과 부서장의 상향 영향력에 각각 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 부서장의 주도적 성격과 상향 영향력 간 관계에 있어서 사회적 통찰력과 대인관계 영향력은 부분 매개효과를 나타냈으며, 외형적 진실성은 완전 매개효과를 나타냈다. 반면, 네트워킹 능력은 매개효과를 나타내지 않았다. 즉, 부서장의 주도적 성격은 네트워킹 능력을 경로로 해서는 상향 영향력에 긍정적 영향을 주지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 학문적 및 실무적 시사점을 도출하였고, 연구 한계 및 향후 연구방향 등에 대해서 제시하였다.
