Abstract

From the past to the present, justice has attracted many people's attention. Most of the previous studies carried out in relation to justice are studies of the resulting variables, and there is a great advantage that they let us know about the importance of justice. However, the findings are focused only on the behavior of the members of the organization according to the status of justice already perceived. Therefore, studies on the antecedent of justice are also necessary to understand justice accurately. This study identifies the factors that can directly affect justice and the contextual factors that could moderate their relationship. In particular, using the '2017 Public Employee Perception Survey' released by the Korea Institute of Public Administration, we examined how innovative behavior of public employees affects the perception of distributive justice and how the relative professionalism, which is the situation variable, moderates the relationship between variables. A regression analysis of 321 public employees showed that innovative behavior affects the perception of distributive justice, and that the positive relationship of innovation behavior to the perception of distributive justice is weakened when the level of individual perceived relative professionalism is high.

과거부터 현재까지 공정성은 많은 사람들의 관심을 받고 있다. 관련하여 진행된 선행연구들은 대부분이 공정성의 결과변수에 대한 연구로, 공정성의 중요성에 대해 알게 해주었다는 큰 장점이 있다. 하지만, 동 연구결과들은 이미 지각한 공정성의 상태에 따라 조직구성원들의 행동이 달라진다는 점에만 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 따라서 공정성을 정확히 이해하기 위해서는 공정성의 선행요인에 대한 연구도 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공정성에 직접적으로 영향을 줄 수 있는 근로자 측면의 변수 및 그 관계를 조절하는 상황요인에 대해 연구하고자 한다. 구체적으로 한국행정연구원에서 공개한 '2017년 공직생활실태조사'를 활용하여 공무원의 혁신행동이 분배공정성 지각에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그리고 상황변수인 상대적 업무 전문성 수준이 변수간의 관계를 어떠한 방향으로 조절하는지를 분석하였다. 321명의 공무원을 대상으로 회귀 분석한 결과 혁신행동은 분배공정성 지각에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 개인이 지각한 상대적 업무 전문성 수준이 높을 때 혁신행동이 분배공정성 지각에 주는 긍정적 관계가 약화되는 것으로 확인되었다.
