Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the effects of Smart-Work IT resources on job performance. The survey was conducted amongst the business workers who are currently engaged in domestic major companies as well as small businesses, and analyzed based on the frequency, factor and reliability. Using PROCESS Macro, we conducted an analysis of the relationship between the IT resources and job performance, treating collective intelligence as a mediating parameter. The results of the study are as follows. First, the IT resources of the companies were found to have a meaningful effect on job performance. Second, the IT resources were found to have no effect on employee productivity except through their effect on the collective intelligence. Finally, while openness and cooperation were found to be the aspects of collective intelligence which mediated between IT resources and workflow improvement, participation, openness and cooperation were found to be the aspects of collective intelligence which mediated between IT resources and workflow coordination, In the future, it is necessary to compare quantitatively the financial performance of Smart-Work adopters and others in the same industry or to compare the financial performance before and after introducing Smart-Work dynamically within the same company.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 국내에서도 스마트워크가 확산되고 있는 바, 스마트워크의 도입이 직무성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 한다. 스마트워크를 도입하여 사용하고 있는 국내 대기업, 중소기업에 근무하는 직원들을 대상으로 다수의 설문지를 통한 실증분석 즉 빈도, 요인, 신뢰도 분석을 실시하였고, 통계분석의 도구인 PROCESS Macro를 사용하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스마트워크 도입기업의 IT자원은 직무성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 스마트워크 도입기업의 IT자원은 집단지성과 독립적으로는 직무성과에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 집단지성 중 개방과 협업이 IT자원과 업무개선 간을 매개하고, 집단지성 중 참여, 개방 및 협업이 IT자원과 업무협조 간을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후에는 동일 산업군내에서 스마트워크 도입 기업과 미도입 기업간 재무성과를 비교하거나 동일 기업 내에서 스마트워크 도입 전후의 재무성과를 동태적으로 비교하는 정량적인 분석이 필요하다.
