Abstract

The purposes of this paper examines the extant to which congruence in leader and follower rating of LMX quality is related to organizational commitment, and perceptions of organizational politics(POPs). A conceptual model is introduced that identifies four combinations of leader and follower LMX ratings of Cogliser et al.(2009): balanced/low LMX(low leader and follower LMX), balanced/high LMX(high leader and follower LMX), follower overestimation(low leader LMX/high follower LMX), follower underestimation(high leader LMX/low follower LMX). The summary of results based on a sample of 236 matched pairs of leaders and followers in KOREA is as follows: First, balanced/high LMX and follower overestimation were associated with relatively high levels of affective organizational commitment, and perceptions of organizational politics. However, follower underestimation and balanced/low LMX was related to low levels of follower outcomes. In particular, follower underestimation and balanced/low LMX were significantly different from balanced/high LMX and follower overestimation. Second, perceptions of organizational politics was negatively related to affective organizational commitment in the four LMX relationship types. Especially, the negative relationship between POPs and organizational commitment was stronger for people who are low as compared with high in LMX quality. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings as well as directions for future research are provided.

본 연구는 리더 또는 구성원의 자기보고에 의한 일방향적인 LMX 지각과 성과와의 관계를 규명한 기존 연구와 달리, LMX지각의 정합성을 바탕으로 리더와 구성원의 LMX 지각의 균형과 불균형에 따른 조직정치지각 및 정서적 조직몰입의 차이를 규명하였다. 특히, 불확실성관리이론에 근거하여 LMX지각의 정합성 차이에 따른 집단별로 구성원의 조직정치지각이 정서적 조직몰입이 미치는 영향을 실증하였다. 연구결과, 먼저 정서적 조직몰입은 균형/LMX 고집단이 균형/LMX 저집단과 구성원 저평가집단에 비해 높았으며, 구성원 고평가집단 역시 균형/LMX 저집단과 구성원 저평가집단에 비해 높았다. 둘째, 조직정치지각은 균형/LMX 고집단이 균형/LMX 저집단과 구성원 저평가집단에 비해 낮았으며, 구성원 고평가집단은 균형/LMX 저집단에 비해 낮았다. 마지막으로 불확실한 정치적 업무환경에서 구성원의 정서적 조직몰입은 모든 집단(균형/LMX 고집단, 균형/LMX 저집단, 구성원 저평가집단, 구성원 고평가집단)에서 감소되었다. 특히, 내집단에 비해, 외집단의 구성원들이 정치적 업무환경 하에서 정서적 조직몰입에 더욱 부정적으로 반응하였다. 마지막으로 종합논의를 통해서 본 연구의 이론적 실무적 시사점과 한계점 및 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
