Abstract

This study attempt to test not only the impact of leadership(second-level supervisor's ethical leadership, immediate supervisor's transformational leadership) on followers' proactive behavior, but also the effect second-level supervisor's ethical leadership on leader's transformational leadership(i.e. TL). In particular, immediate supervisor's TL is explored as a mediating variable in the relationship between second-level supervisor's ethical leadership and followers' proactive behavior. The summary of the hierarchical regression analyses results was as follows: First, the paper showed that second-level supervisor's moral behavior was positively related to immediate supervisor's TL. But behavioral integrity and consistency across contexts was not found to play a unique role in predicting immediate supervisor's TL. Second, second-level supervisor's moral behavior was a positive impact on employee' taking charge behavior and helping behavior. and behavioral integrity was a positive impact on employee' taking charge behavior. But consistency across contexts was not found to play a unique role in predicting proactive behavior. Third, immediate supervisor's TL was a positive impact on employee' taking charge behavior and helping behavior. Finally, the effects of second-level supervisor's moral behavior on employee' proactive behavior were mediated by immediate supervisor's TL. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings as well as directions for future research are provided.

본 연구는 팀장의 변혁적 리더십에 영향을 주는 차상위 리더의 윤리적 리더십의 효과를 실증함과 동시에 차상위 리더의 윤리적 리더십과 팀장의 변혁적 리더십이 구성원의 선제적 행동(주도적 행동, 도움행동)에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 또한 차상위 리더의 도덕적 행동과 구성원의 선제적 행동의 관계에서 팀장의 변혁적 리더십의 매개역할을 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과, 먼저 차상위 리더의 윤리적 리더십 중 도덕적 행동이 팀장의 변혁적 리더십에 통계적으로 유의미한 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 그러나 차상위 리더의 행동진실성과 맥락적 일관성은 통계적으로는 유의미하지 않았다. 둘째, 차상위 리더의 도덕적 행동은 구성원의 선제적 행동(주도적 행동, 도움행동)에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 또한 차상위 리더의 행동진실성은 구성원의 주도적 행동에만 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 그러나 차상위 리더의 맥락적 일관성은 구성원의 선제적 행동과 통계적으로 유의미하지 않았다. 셋째, 팀장의 변혁적 리더십은 구성원의 선제적 행동(주도적 행동, 도움행동)에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 마지막으로 차상위 리더의 도덕적 행동과 구성원의 선제적 행동(주도적 행동, 도움행동)의 관계에서 팀장의 변혁적 리더십은 부분매개역할을 수행하였다. 그러나 차상위 리더의 행동진실성 및 맥락적 일관성과 구성원의 선제적 행동과는 매개효과가 검증되지 않았다. 마지막으로 토의 및 결론을 통해서 본 연구의 시사점과 한계점 및 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
