Abstract

Transformational leadership(TL) is an effective job resource that can lead to innovative behavior. The new concern is to identify the mechanisms by which innovative behaviors persist, taking into account factors such as mediator. Therefore, this study intends to identify the mediating role of job engagement in the relationship between sub-factors of TL and innovative behavior. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 671 employees who are highly related to innovative behavior in public, private firms and utilized a structural equation analysis, mediation analysis to verify hypotheses based on previous studies. As a result, charisma and intellectual stimulation, which are sub-factors of TL were proved to influence innovative behavior through job engagement. The results of this study imply that companies need to utilize the measurement tool of job engagement and select leader with charisma and intellectual stimulation to sustain innovative behavior.

변혁적 리더십은 조직 구성원의 혁신행동을 이끌어낼 수 있는 효과적인 직무자원이다. 본 연구에서는 매개요인 등을 고려하여 혁신행동이 지속되는 매커니즘을 확인하고자 변혁적 리더십의 하위요인과 조직 구성원의 혁신행동의 인과관계를 검증하고 이들 관계에서 직무열의의 매개역할을 규명하고자 한다. 본 연구는 공공 및 민간기업에서 혁신행동과 관련성이 높은 직군에 속하는 671명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 선행연구를 바탕으로 수립된 가설을 검증하기 위해 구조방정식과 매개분석을 활용하였다. 분석결과 변혁적 리더십의 하위요인인 카리스마와 지적 자극은 직무열의를 통해 혁신행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 연구결과를 토대로 기업이 구성원의 혁신행동을 발현할 수 있도록 변혁적 리더의 특성 중 카리스마와 지적자극의 요인을 겸비한 리더를 선정하고 더불어 직무열의를 통해 혁신행동을 높여줄 수 있는 측정도구를 적절하게 활용할 필요가 있음을 실무적으로 시사한다.
