Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of leader-member exchange(LMX) on employees' creativity, and task performance focusing on the mediating effect of information sharing and job involvement. Based on the review of related references, we suggested our research model and hypothesis and then tested empirically. From these analyses, we can find some significant findings. First, LMX has a positive impact on information sharing. Second, information sharing has a positive impact on job involvement, creativity, and task performance. Third, information sharing has significant mediating effects on the relationship between LMX and job involvement, creativity, and task performance. Fourth, job involvement also has significant mediating effects on the relationship between information sharing and creativity and task performance. These results showed that information sharing and job involvement played their role as a meaningful mediator.

본 연구에서는 리더-구성원간 교환관계(LMX)의 질과 구성원들의 창의성 및 업무성과 간의 영향 관계에 있어서 정보공유와 직무몰입이 어떠한 매개역할을 하는지를 중심으로 경로모형을 탐색해 보았다. 선행연구들에 대한 검토를 통하여 리더-구성원간 교환관계의 질이 다양한 변수들과 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 이론적 논의를 기초로 하여 연구모형과 가설을 설정하고 이를 실증분석으로 검증하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 리더-구성원간 교환관계의 질은 정보공유에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 정보공유는 구성원들의 직무몰입, 창의성 그리고 업무성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 정보공유는 리더-구성원간 교환관계의 질과 직무몰입, 창의성 및 업무성과 간의 영향관계에서 중요한 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 직무몰입 역시 정보공유와 창의성간의 관계 그리고 정보공유와 업무성과간의 관계에서 중요한 매개효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과들은 리더-구성원간 교환관계의 질이 창의성과 업무성과에 미치는 영향관계에서 정보공유와 직무몰입이 중요한 매개변수로서 역할을 하고 있음을 보여준다.
