게임의 교육적 목적으로의 활용에 대해 관심이 늘고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 최근 게임을 통한 리더십 함양이 화두가 되고 있다. 각 기업체에서는 직원들의 리더십 함양을 위해 게임을 활용하고자 다양한 시도를 꾀하고 있기도 하다. 특히 이 같은 흐름에는 무엇보다 MMORPG 게임이 두드러진다. 왜냐하면 MMORPG 에는 현실 세계와 흡사한 정치, 경제, 사회 시스템이 내재되어 다수의 플레이어와 협동, 경쟁을 하며 목표를 달성해나가는 과정이 담겨있기 때문이다. 하지만 현실과 많은 유사성을 가지고 있는 가상세계이지만 현실과 동일한 잣대로 가상세계에서의 사용자의 성향을 판단하기에는 아직 무리가 있다. 분명 게임이라는 가상공간과 현실세계는 명백한 차이점이 존재하기 때문이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 게임 내에서의 리더십 유형과 현실에서의 리더십 유형간의 직접적인 상관관계에 대한 연구가 아직 이루어지지 않았다는 점에 초점을 맞추었다. 다시 말해 게임을 통한 현실에서의 리더십 함양의 가능성을 언급하기에 앞서 근본적으로 현실과 가상공간에서의 리더십 양상의 상관성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다고 생각된다. 본 연구는 우선 현실세계에서의 리더십 성향이 가상세계에서도 동일하게 적용되는지 1군주의 사용자를 중심으로 살펴본다. 그리고 군주 사용자의 심층인터뷰를 통하여 게임 내에서 리더십을 발현시킬 수 있는 여러 요소 (긍정적 요소 장애요소 등)를 살펴보고 향후 리더십 함양을 위한 게임 기획에 도움이 되고자 한다.
