Abstract

This study is intended to look into the effects of project managers' leadership on participants' individual competency and project performance. To achieve this, a survey was empirically carried out to a sample of 276 researchers who are working on a project with a research and development group in private R&D centers. The results of this study were summarized as follows. First, the leadership competency of project managers had a significant positive effect on the individual competency of project participants. Second, the leadership competency of project managers had a significant positive effect on the project management performance. Third, the leadership competency of project managers had no significant effect on the project completion performance. Fourth, the individual competency of project participants had a significant positive effect on the project management performance. Fifth, the individual competency of project participants had no significant effect on the project completion performance. Sixth, the project management performance had a significant positive effect on the project completion performance. Seventh, the project completion performance was indirectly mediated in the effect of project managers' leadership competency on project completion performance. Eighth, the project management performance was indirectly mediated in the effect of project participants' individual competency on project completion performance. Based on the findings stated above, a combination of project management performance can generate better results in the effect of project participants' individual competency on project completion performance.

본 연구는 프로젝트 관리자의 리더십이 참여자 개인 역량과 프로젝트 성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구로써 기업부설연구소 및 연구개발부서를 갖추고 프로젝트를 수행하는 연구원 276명을 표본으로 실증조사 하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 프로젝트 관리자의 리더십 역량은 참여자의 개인 역량에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 프로젝트 관리자의 리더십 역량은 프로젝트 관리 성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 프로젝트 관리자의 리더십 역량이 프로젝트 완료성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 프로젝트 참여자의 개인 역량이 프로젝트 관리 성과에는 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 프로젝트 참여자의 개인 역량은 프로젝트 완료 성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 프로젝트 관리 성과가 프로젝트 완료 성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일곱째, 프로젝트 관리자의 리더십 역량이 프로젝트 완료 성과에 미치는 영향에 있어 프로젝트 관리 성과의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 프로젝트 관리 성과의 간접효과는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 여덟째, 프로젝트 참여자의 개인 역량이 프로젝트 완료 성과에 미치는 영향에 있어 프로젝트 관리 성과의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 프로젝트 관리 성과의 간접효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해, 프로젝트 참여자의 개인 역량이 프로젝트 완료 성과에 미치는 영향에 있어 프로젝트 관리 성과가 병행되어진다면 더 큰 효과를 볼 수 있음을 시사한다.
