Abstract

This study was conducted focusing on the innovative behavior necessary for the long-term survival of an organization in a business environment in which uncertainty and complexity are increasing. To this end, the relationship between issue leadership and innovative behavior of organizational members was investigated from the perspective of Signaling theory, Path-Goal theory and Job Demands-Resources theory. In addition, the mediating role of learning agility and sub-components of learning agility was empirically analyzed. For empirical analysis, a survey was conducted with a total of 252 team leaders and team members working in multinational companies (142 in Korea, 110 in the US). The results of this study are as follows. Issue leadership was analyzed to have a positive (+) effect on the innovative behavior of employees. Learning agility was found to play a mediating role between issue leadership and innovative behavior. On the other hand, the mediating effect was tested for each of the sub-components of learning agility, such as feedback seeking, information seeking, reflecting, experimenting, agility. As a result, all five sub-components were found to play a mediating role between issue leadership and innovative behavior. In particular, it was analyzed that the mediating effect of agility was the largest. Next, information seeking appeared to be large. Although there are some studies that have identified the mediating role of learning agility between issue leadership and innovative behavior, this study is considered to have academic implication as there are few cases of subdivided study. At the practical level, it is expected to provide implications for where to focus more when trying to improve an organization's learning agility and innovation behavior

본 연구는 불확실성과 복잡성이 증대되고 있는 경영 환경하에서 조직의 장기적 생존에 필요한 혁신 행동에 초점을 맞추어 이루어졌다. 이를 위해 이슈 리더십이 조직 구성원의 혁신 행동에 미치는 영향 관계를 신호이론(Signaling theory), 경로-목표이론(Path-Goal Theory), 직무요구-자원이론(Job Demands-Resources Theory) 관점에서 규명하였다. 또한 학습 민첩성 및 학습 민첩성의 하위 구성 요인의 매개 역할을 실증적으로 분석 하였다. 실증분석을 위해 다국적 기업에 근무하고 있는 팀장과 팀원 총 252쌍(한국 142쌍, 미국 110쌍)을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 이슈 리더십은 종업원들의 혁신 행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 학습 민첩성은 이슈 리더십과 혁신 행동간 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 학습 민첩성의 하위 구성 요인인 피드백 추구성향, 정보 지향성, 성찰, 실험성, 민첩성의 각각에 대해 매개효과를 검정하였다. 그 결과 5개의 하위 구성 요인 모두 이슈 리더십과 혁신 행동간에 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 민첩성의 매개효과가 가장 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 다음으로 정보 지향성이 크게 나타났다. 이슈 리더십이 혁신 행동에 미치는 긍정적 영향 관계에서 학습 민첩성의 매개 역할을 규명한 일부 연구는 있지만, 이를 세분화해서 살펴본 경우는 거의 없는 실정에서 본 연구는 학술적인 의미가 있다고 사료 된다. 실무적인 차원에서도 조직의 학습 민첩성 제고를 하고자 할 때 어느 부분을 더 집중해야 할 것인지에 대한 시사점을 제공할 것으로 보인다.
