초록

본 연구는 먼저 중소기업인 고객과 컨설턴트 간의 구조적 및 관계적 속성인 유대관계 및 신뢰관계가 컨설팅성과에 미치는 영향관계를 알아보고, 다음으로 중소기업인 고객의 컨설팅참여도 및 컨설턴트의 역량이 유대관계 및 신뢰관계가 컨설팅성과에 미치는 영향관계를 각각 조절하는지에 대하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석결과, 유대관계 및 역량기반신뢰는 컨설팅성과에 유의미한 정(+)의 영향관계를 나타냈으며, 고객의 컨설팅참여도는 조절효과가 없는 반면, 컨설턴트의 역량은 유대관계 및 역량기반신뢰가 컨설팅성과에 미치는 영향관계를 조절하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 컨설팅성과를 극대화하기 위해서는 중소기업인 고객과 컨설턴트 간의 강한 유대관계 및 신뢰관계 구축과 함께 컨설턴트의 역량 함양이 매우 중요함을 시사하고 있다.

The first, this study analyzed empirically the effects of the ties(structural) and the trust(relational) between the clients(small and medium sized enterprises) and consultants on the consulting performance, the second, verified the moderating effects of the consultant's competence and the client's participation in the effect of the ties and the trust on the consulting performance. The result of empirical analysis was as follows. The ties and the competence based trust had a positive effects on the consulting performance. Meanwhile, the client's participation had no moderating effect, the consultant's competence moderated the effect of the ties and the trust on the consulting performance. From the above empirical analysis, we appreciated that the building of the strong ties and the trust between the client and consultant is very important to promote consulting performance with the enhancing the consultant's competence.
