Abstract

Many researchers in the knowledge management area pointed out that leadership is a important factor affected knowledge management. But, research focused on relationship between knowledge management and leadership was very rare. This study analyzes, by qualitative approach of in-depth interviews for employees and CEO of 2 rolled-rated municipalities, relationship between leadership of CEO in local government and knowledge management. The results show that participatory leadership expand opportunity of participation in decision-making of employees in local government, and enable successful knowledge management through free communication among employees. Participatory leadership is positively associated with high levels of employee knowledge management activities. Future research may want to focus on relationship between leadership and knowledge management through a quantitative approach.

많은 연구자들이 리더십이 지식관리에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다고 이야기 하고 있으나, 리더십에 초점을 두어 지식관리와의 관계를 논의한 연구는 매우 드물었다. 본 연구에서는 지식관리를 성공적으로 해내고 있다고 평가받는 2개의 지방자치 직원들을 대상으로 면담을 통해, 기관장의 리더십이 지식관리에 어떻게 영향을 주었는지를 밝혀내고자 하는 목적으로 시작되었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 리더십 유형 중 지식관리와 상관관계가 높은 참여적 리더십사례를 통해 리더십이 성공적 지식관리에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구결과 참여적 리더십은 조직구성원들의 조직 내의 의사결정에의 참여기회를 확대하고, 자유로운 의사소통을 활성화하여 조직 내 성공적인 지식관리를 담보한다는 점을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 리더십이 지식관리와 매우 높은 상관관계임을 밝혀냈으며, 향후에는 양적접근방법을 병행하여 리더십 변수와 지식관리와의 상관관계를 경험적으로 검증하는 것 역시 의미 있으리라 본다.
