Abstract

This study aimed to verify the positive effect of work meaningfulness(WM) on flourishing(FL) with the successive positive effects of work engagement(WE) and job performance(JP) as dual mediators. We conducted an online survey of 395 incumbents working in the companies of different types and statistically analyzed data using SPSS and SPSS Process macro for hierarchical regression and bootstrapping. The results are as follows: 1. correlation coefficients of all combinations from four variables are significant, 2. simple mediation effects(WM-WE-FL and WE-JP-FL) are significant, 3. dual mediation effet(WM-WE-JP-FL) is verified. This study showed practical guide for the efficient management of employees in recent autonomous work environment and further studies with longitudinal method will be needed in order to verify substantially the dual mediation.

본 논문은 일의 의미가 직무열의라는 동기적 요소를 거쳐서 직무수행에 정적인 영향을 미치고, 궁극적으로 개인차원의 긍정적인 결과인 번영에 정적인 영향을 미치는 이중매개 관계를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 395명의 직장인을 대상으로 온라인 설문방식을 통해서 연구를 진행하였고, SPSS와 SPSS Process Macro를 활용하여 위계적회귀분석, 부트스트래핑 분석을 시행하였으며. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 일의 의미(WM), 직무열의(WE), 직무수행(JP), 그리고 번영(FL) 간의 상관관계는 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났으며, 일의 의미(WM), 직무열의(WE), 번영(FL) 간의 단순 매개관계와 일의 의미(WM), 직무수행(JP), 번영(FL) 간의 단순 매개관계가 통계적으로 검증되었다. 그리고 일의 의미(WM), 직무열의(WE), 직무수행(JP), 그리고 번영(FL) 간의 이중매개관계가 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 자율성이 중요해지는 최근의 업무 환경에서 효과적인 직원 관리 방법에 대한 의미 있는 결과를 보여주었으며, 향후 종단적 연구를 통해서 이중 매개관계에 대한 실질적인 검증 연구의 시행이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
