초록

현대 조직에서 환경변화가 빠르고 조직구성원들의 다양성이 높아지면서 개인에게 더 많은 권한과 자율성을 부여하는 임파워링 리더십에 대해 관심이 높아지고 있는데 본 연구에서는 임파워링 리더십의 효과성이 발휘되는 과정을 조직 구성원들의 리더수용을 중심으로 검증해 보았다. 이를 위하여 기업체에 근무하는 재직자들을 대상으로 총 293부의 설문을 수집하여 임파워링 리더십과 개인효과성(개인혁신행동, 개인성과) 간의 관계에 있어 개인의 리더수용의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 가설검증결과 첫째, 임파워링 리더십은 개인혁신행동에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고 둘째, 임파워링 리더십은 개인성과에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 임파워링 리더십과 개인혁신행동 간의 관계에서 개인의 리더수용은 완전매개를 하는 것으로 나타났고 넷째, 임파워링 리더십과 개인성과 간의 관계에서 개인의 리더수용은 완전매개를 하였다. 본 연구는 임파워링 리더십이 효과성을 발휘하기 위해선 조직 구성원들이 리더를 인정하고 자발적으로 받아들이는 리더수용이 중요하며 임파워링 리더십이 더욱 효과적이기 위해선 조직 구성원 개개인들의 성숙도와 가치관 등을 고려하여 리더가 임파워링 행동을 실시함이 필요하다는 점을 제시하고 있다.

As the environment changes rapidly and the diversity of organizational members increases in the modern organization, interest is increasingly focused on empowering leadership that gives more authority and autonomy to the individual. In this study, we demonstrate an effective process for empowering leadership that was examined by focusing on the leader acceptance of organization members. For this purpose, 293 questionnaires were collected from employees working in corporations, and the mediating effects of individual leader acceptance on the relationship between empowering leadership and individual effectiveness (individual innovative behavior, individual performance) were verified. Hypothesis testing revealed that empowering leadership had a significant influence on both individual innovative behavior and individual performance. Second, in the relationship between empowering leadership and individual innovative behavior, individual leader acceptance was completely mediated. Third, in the relationship between empowering leadership and individual performance, individual leader acceptance was completely mediated. This study suggests that individual leader acceptance is important for empowering leadership effectiveness. In order for empowering leadership to be more effective, we propose that leaders make empowering behaviors according to the organization members' level of maturity and personal values.
