Abstract

This study intended to exploratively depict the influence of interaction between Environmental Uncertainty and Learning Orientation of Korean IT companies on Marketing Capability which was adopted as one of the organizational performance indicator. Statistical Results based on AMOS and SPSS showed that smaller-sized companies under 500 employees are more inclined to desperately and flexibly meet and adapt to their environmental uncertainty, resulting positive performance, that is, marketing capabilities. On the other hand, larger-sized companies over 500 employees showed no significant interaction effect. This result of the study induces the reasoning that the differences in competitive environment and market leadership accrued by organizational size may also incur differences in environmental adaptive mechanism. However, this reasoning can have some limitation in that the types and traits of IT firms are so different. Therefore, this topic suggests the necessity of follow-up researches using enlarged samples in IT industry and comparative studies in other industries.

본 연구는 우리나라 IT기업을 대상으로 환경불확실성과 학습지향성의 상호작용이 조직성과의 하나인 마케팅역량에 미치는 영향을 탐색적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. AMOS와 SPSS를 활용한 통계분석 결과, 직원수 500인 미만의 소규모 조직일수록 자신들이 직면한 환경불확실성에 보다 적극적으로 그리고 유연하게 대응하려는 경향이 농후했으며, 이 같은 환경에의 반응을 통해 마케팅역량의 증대라는 긍정적 성과를 가져왔다. 반면에 직원수 500인 이상인 기업의 경우는 그 어떤 유의한 상호작용효과도 보여주지 못했다. 이 같은 연구결과는 조직규모에 따른 경쟁 환경 및 시장지배력의 차이가 IT기업의 환경적응 메커니즘에서도 차이를 가져온 것이라는 추론을 가능케 한다. 다만, 이 같은 유추는 IT기업의 유형과 특성이 매우 이질적이라는 점에서 일정한 한계를 지닌다. 따라서 IT산업의 표본을 확장한 후속연구와 타산업과의 비교연구에 대한 필요성이 있다.
