초록

본 탐색적 연구에서는 MMORPG 이용자들의 게임 내 리더십 관련 경험과 오프라인 리더십의 관계를 온라인 서베이(N=664)를 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과, MMORPG 이용자들의 게임 내 리더십 관련 경험, 연령, 게임이용시간과 오프라인 리더십 간에 정적 상관관계가 존재함을 확인하였다. 이중에서 특히, 게임 내에서 리더십을 증진할 수 있는 관련 활동들을 많이 경험할수록, 오프라인에서의 리더십 점수가 높아지는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 온라인 공간에서의 MMORPG 이용이 오프라인 공간으로 넘어와 긍정적인 영향을 미치게 되는 스필오버효과(spillover effect) 측면에서, 게임 이용의 순기능적 활용 가능성을 결론에 함께 제시하였다.

This research investigated the relationship between MMORPG players' leadership-related game experience and offline leadership using online survey samples(N=664). According to the correlation results, MMORPG players' leadership-related game experience, age, game usage time and offline leadership exhibited a significantly positive relationship. When players had more leadership-related game experience, they reported higher offline leadership scores. In terms of "spillover effect", more valuable implications of using MMORPGs are discussed in conclusion.
