Abstract

As Korean society becomes more matured, more people consider trust valuable, as a social capital. Researchers introduced trust literatures focusing on public policy, sociology than business. In this paper, it is empirically analyzed how Organizational Justice, Shared Values, Organizational Trust, 3 dimensions of social capital explained by Nahapiet & Ghoshall, together with Job Satisfaction and Innovative Behavior, as a proxy of performance at the organizational level. The results of this study are as below. Firstly Organizational Justice, consisted of 4 sub-variables of Distributional Justice, Procedural Justice, Interpersonal Justice and Informational Justice, classified by Colquitt, affects Job Satisfaction positively. Secondly Shared Values, consisted of 2 sub-variables of CEO's Core Value and Organizational Culture, availing Competing Value Model of Cameron & Quinn, affect Job Satisfaction positively. Thirdly Job Satisfaction, consisted of 2 sub-variables of economical satisfaction and self-efficacy, affects Innovative Behavior positively. Lastly Organizational Trust has mediating effect on the relationship between Job Satisfaction and Innovative Behavior. However, while the direct effect of Job Satisfaction on Innovative Behavior shows 69%, the indirect effect of Organizational Trust on Innovative Behavior shows 31%, which may not be ignorable. Furthermore in case of smaller organization with less than 30 members, the indirect effect of Organizational Trust shows 64%, comparing to 36% of direct effect of Job Satisfaction. This study was able to confirm that organizations need to maintain Organizational Trust as much as they strive to increase Job Satisfaction through securing Organizational Justice and Shared Values in order to effectively increase Innovative Behavior. For small organizations with less than 30 members, they can never achieve Innovative Behavior without Organizational Trust. Conclusively it is acknowledged that Organizational Trust is the most important prior condition for innovation and long-term survival of SME ventures.

우리 사회가 성숙해지면서 사회적 자본으로서 신뢰에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며, 사회적 자본에 대한 연구가 시민사회와 국가경제 발전에 대한 사회학적 관심에서 출발하여 기업의 역량강화에 대한 관심으로 확산되고 있다. 특히 중소벤처기업의 경우 최소인원으로 핵심기능만을 조직화한 창업이 늘어나고, 핵심기능에 집중하는 부문별 Partner의 책임경영 체제가 강조되면서 기업의 가치창조를 결정하는 변인과 과정에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 중소벤처기업의 가치창조와 장기적 생존을 위하여 필수적인 구성원의 협력과 조직의 혁신행동을 달성하기 위한 변인과 과정을 알아보기 위하여 실증적 연구를 시도하였다. 기업조직의 수준에서 Nahapiet & Ghoshal이 제안한 사회적 자본의 3가지 차원 즉, 구조적 차원, 인지적 차원, 관계적 차원의 변수로서 조직공정성, 공유가치, 조직신뢰를 선택하고 기업성과의 선행변수인 직무만족을 거쳐 기업성과의 대용변수인 혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 수립하여 검정하였다. 기업의 조직구성과 운영은 사회적 계약관계이므로 조직공정성과 공유가치가 직무만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 직무만족이 혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 조직신뢰는 직무만족과 혁신행동 사이의 관계에 매개효과를 갖는 인지적 과정과 조직적 맥락을 분석하였다. 구체적으로 직무만족이 혁신행동에 미치는 직접적 효과(69%)에 비하여 조직신뢰가 혁신행동에 미치는 간접적 효과(31%)가 작지 않게 나타났으며 상대적으로 중요한 변수로 관찰되었다. 구성원 30인 이하의 중소벤처기업의 경우에는 직접효과(36%)보다 오히려 간접효과(64%)가 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 구성원의 직무만족을 높이기 위한 노력과 함께 조직신뢰를 최우선적으로 확보하여야 한다는 점을 보여준 것이다. 본 연구의 의의는 구성원 30인 이하의 중소벤처기업의 경우 조직신뢰가 조직공정성, 공유가치, 직무만족보다 더욱 큰 영향력을 갖는 변수라는 점을 실증적으로 확인하였다는 점에 있다. 추가적으로 혁신과 생존을 위하여 조직신뢰를 포함한 사회적 자본의 제반요소를 강화하기 위한 실행방안을 논의하였다.
