Abstract

In order to advance theoretical and practical understanding of innovative behaviors and affective commitment to change, this study investigated the relationship among innovation supporting organizational culture, decentralized structure, acceptance of organizational change, and affective commitment to change and tested the mediating effect of acceptance of organizational change in the relationship. Data were collected from 261 employees at H corporation and analyzed to test suggested research hypotheses using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0. The results are as follows: First, it is found that innovation supporting organizational culture influences positively acceptance of organizational change and affective commitment to change. Second, results show that decentralized structure influences positively acceptance of organizational change, but does not influence innovative behavior. Third, it is found that acceptance of organizational change influences positively affective commitment to change and innovative behavior. Fourth, it is also found that acceptance of organizational change mediates partially the relationship between innovation supporting organizational culture and affective commitment to change and acceptance of organizational change mediates completely the relationship between decentralized structure and affective commitment to change. With these findings, it is confirmed that innovation supporting organizational culture and decentralized structure influence positively affective commitment to change and innovative behavior through acceptance of organizational change. Limitations and suggestions were discussed.

본 연구는 본 연구는 구성원의 조직변화 수용성의 영향요인과 결과 요인을 밝히는데 있다. 이를 위해 혁신지원적 조직문화, 분권화된 조직, 조직변화 수용성, 혁신행동, 정서적 변화몰입 간의 관계를 검토하고 그 관계에 있어서 조직변화 수용성의 매개효과를 검증하였다. H자동차 261명을 대상으로 실증분석을 위한 자료를 수집하였고, 가설검증을 위해 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 20.0을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 혁신지원적 조직문화는 조직변화 수용성 및 정서적 변화몰입에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째, 분권화된 조직은 조직변화 수용성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 분권화된 조직은 혁신행동에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 세 번째, 조직변화 수용성은 정서적 몰입 및 혁신행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 네 번째, 조직변화 수용성은 혁신지원적 조직문화와 정서적 변화몰입의 관계에서 부분매개를 수행하는 것으로 나타났고, 조직변화 수용성은 분권화된 조직과 혁신행동의 관계에서 완전매개를 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 혁신지원적 조직문화와 분권화된 조직은 조직변화 수용성을 통해 정서적 변화몰입과 혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을 준다는 것이 확인되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계점과 향후 방향이 제안되었다.
