Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Ethical Leadership on job engagement, organizational commitment and unethical pro-organizational behavior and to analyze the dual mediation effect of job engagement and organizational commitment. We used 565 questionnaires collected by members in domestic companies. The result of the analyses are as follows: First, Ethical Leadership has no positive effect on unethical pro-organizational behavior. Second, in the relationship between Ethical Leadership and unethical pro-organizational behavior, job engagement does not play a mediating role, but organizational commitment plays a mediating role. Third, in the relationship between Ethical Leadership and unethical pro-organizational behavior, job engagement and organizational commitment play a dual mediating role. The theoretical implication is that this study once again confirmed the behavior patterns such as cognition, emotion, attitude and behavior of members in the organization. In addition, this study can contribute to theoretical expansion by explaining that these behavior patterns are identified by social exchange theory. The practical implication is that this study confirmed that members in the actual management field are willing to perform unethical pro-organizational behavior in order to achieve the organization's goal efficiently and effectively. Therefore, it is suggested that active efforts should be made to recognize these negative influences and possibilities at the organization level and to create a clean and fair organizational culture and environment that everyone can recognize at the social level.

본 연구는 윤리적 리더십이 갖고 있는 양면성에 초점을 맞추어, 리더의 윤리적 리더십이 직무열의, 조직몰입, 비윤리적 친-조직행동에 미치는 영향을 검증하고, 직무열의와 조직몰입의 이중 매개효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 565부의 설문지를 활용하여 연구를 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 리더의 윤리적 리더십은 비윤리적 친-조직행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 직무열의는 리더의 윤리적 리더십과 비윤리적 친-조직행동의 관계에서 매개역할을 하지 않았으나, 조직몰입은 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 리더의 윤리적 리더십과 비윤리적 친-조직행동의 관계에서 직무열의와 조직몰입은 이중 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 시사점은 다음과 같다. 본 연구는 윤리적 리더십이 항상 긍정적인 효과만을 발휘하는 것은 아니며, 비윤리적 행동과의 관계성을 규명했다는 데 의의가 있다. 또한 조직 내 구성원의 인지, 정서, 태도, 행동의 과정을 살펴보고, 다시 한 번 정서사건이론의 패턴을 확인할 수 있었다. 나아가 이러한 행동패턴이 사회교환이론에 의해 규명되어진다는 점을 밝히는데 이론적 함의를 찾을 수 있다. 실무적 시사점은 조직차원에서 이러한 부정적인 영향 및 가능성을 미연에 방지하고 나아가 사회적 차원에서 조직성과를 제고하는 동시에 윤리적 기준을 준수할 수 있는 조직문화 및 환경을 조성할 수 있도록 적극적인 노력이 필요하다는 시사점을 제공하고 있다.
