Abstract

In this study, we investigated path that influence task performance through mediation of leader identification, regulatory focus (promotion focus and prevention focus). The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, ethical leadership has a positive effect on leader identification. Second, leader identification has played a crucial role in the relationship between ethical leadership and regulatory focus, and regulatory focus also have an important mediating effect on the relationship between leader identification and task performance. These results show that leader identification, regulatory focus play as an important mediator in relationship between ethical leadership and task performance.

본 연구에서는 윤리적 리더십이 리더동일시, 조절초점(향상초점과 예방초점)을 매개로 하여 업무성과에 영향을 미치는 경로모형을 탐색하는 연구를 진행하였다. 선행연구들에 대한 검토를 통하여 윤리적 리더십과 여러 변수들과의 관계가 어떠한지를 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 연구모형과 가설을 세우고 이를 실증분석으로 검증하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 윤리적 리더십은 리더동일시에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며, 리더동일시는 조절초점(향상초점과 예방초점)에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 리더동일시는 윤리적 리더십과 조절초점 간의 매우 중요한 매개역할을 하였으며, 조절초점 역시 리더동일시와 업무성과 간의 중요한 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 본 연구에서는 윤리적 리더십의 중요성이 강조되는 시점에서 윤리적 리더십과 업무성과 간의 메커니즘에 대한 이해를 실증적으로 검증해 냈다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
