Abstract

This study focuses upon 'organizational members' well-being' in order to explain organizational innovativeness and performance. Based on a survey of organizational members in Korean firms, we find that supervisory trust, communication, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment as employee well-being variables had a significant influence upon explain organizational innovativeness. Additionally, our results also suggest the organizational innovativeness also had a positive influence on organizational performance. Overall, the study contributes to the literature by accounting for the importance of organizational members' well-being' when examining the organizational innovativeness/firm performance relationship.

본 논문은 통제나 시스템, 제도의 개선 등 외재적 방법이 아닌 조직구성원의 마음을 얻는 근본적인 방안이 제고되어야 한다는 생각으로 조직구성원이 근로생활에서 느끼는 웰빙을 혁신성 제고의 주요 요인으로 보고 이에 대한 검증을 시도하였다. 국내 기업 조직구성원들을 대상으로 설문조사 한 것을 분석한 결과, 본 연구에서 웰빙의 구성요인으로 선택한 상사신뢰, 의사소통, 직무만족, 조직몰입은 모두 조직의 혁신성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 영향력은 다시 신제품 개발능력으로 이어져 조직의 혁신성이 신제품 개발능력에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 그동안 조직의 혁신성에 대한 선행연구들에서 영향요인으로 고려되지 않던 '구성원의 웰빙'을 중심으로 조직 혁신성에 대한 새로운 모델을 제시하고 검증하였다는 그 의의가 있다고 하겠다.
