초록

중국의 현재 경제 상황에서 직원들의 조직에 대한 몰입을 강화시키는 리더십 스타일은 매우 중요한 주제이다. 본 연구의 목적은 리더십 스타일, 임파워먼트 그리고 조직몰입 간의 구조적 인과관계를 조사하는 데 있다. 리더들이 자신의 리더십 스타일을 이해하고, 직원들로 하여금 더 많은 의사결정 권한을 부여하는 것은 직원들이 보다 효과적으로 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 많은 도움을 줄 수 있다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구에서는 중국 심천에 소재한 IT기업들에 대한 광범위한 설문 조사를 실시하여 총 403개의 데이터를 수집하였고, 분석은 SPSS와 AMOS를 이용하였다. 분석결과, 리더십 스타일은 종업원의 임파워먼트와 조직몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 종업원에 대한 임파워먼트도 조직몰입에 영향을 미치며 리더십 스타일과 조직몰입 간의 매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 조직에서 직원들이 자존감이 낮고 회사가 임파워먼트에 적극적이지 않은 경우 조직몰입도가 낮아 이직 가능성이 높을 수 있다. 본 연구결과는 중국 IT기업에 적합한 리더십 스타일은 변혁적 리더십보다는 거래적 리더십이며, 이러한 리더십 하에 종업원에 대한 적절한 임파워먼트가 이루어진다면 직원들의 조직몰입을 이끌 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.
