Abstract

This study attempted to test not only the influence of transformational leadership(TFL) on employees' unethical pro-organizational behavior(UPB), but also the mediating effect of organizational identification(OID) between TFL and employees' UPB. This study employed two research methods: literature review and empirical testing of the developed hypotheses. Data were collected through online questionnaire instruments from 229 employees working at companies in Korea. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modeling was employed. The model is shown as adequately fitting to the data. The results showed that there was not a positive and statistically significant relationship between TFL and employees' UPB, and OID played as a mediator in the relationship between TFL and employees' UPB. These findings provide a meaningful implication that the positive impact of TFL is linked to employees' UPB through OID.

본 연구는 리더의 변혁적 리더십이 부하들의 비윤리적 친조직 행동에 미치는 영향과 조직 동일시가 리더의 변혁적 리더십과 부하들의 비윤리적 친조직 행동 간의 관계에서 매개 역할을 하는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 선행 연구 및 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 연구 모형 및 가설을 개발하고 실증 분석을 통해 가설을 검증했다. 분석을 위해 국내 기업에 근무하는 직원 229명이 제출한 온라인 설문 자료를 사용했고 구조 방정식 분석을 사용해 가설을 검증했다. 설문 조사가 갖는 동일 방법 편의 문제를 해결하기 위해 사회적 바람직성을 통제하고 전산화된 설문지를 사용했다. 분석한 결과에 따르면, 리더의 변혁적 리더십이 부하들의 비윤리적 친조직 행동에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 리더의 변혁적 리더십이 부하들의 비윤리적 친조직 행동에 미치는 영향은 조직 동일시에 의해서 완전 매개되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실증 분석 결과는 리더의 변혁적 리더십이 조직 동일시를 통해 부하들의 비윤리적 친조직 행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 의미 있는 시사점을 제공한다.
