Abstract

In order to increase corporate competitiveness in the fourth industrial revolution environment, it is most important to secure and nurture talented people with digital capabilities. In particular, because the knowledge and skills required in the IT sector are newly created or added, enhancing expertise through upskilling and reskilling of IT company members is essential. Thus, this study proposed theoretical discussions and practical implications for strengthening the competitiveness of IT company in terms of human resource development by analyzing the mediating effects of subordinates' self-directed learning ability in the relationship between managers' authentic leadership and subordinates' work engagement. The results of this study were as follows: First, authentic leadership of IT company manager had positive effect on subordinates' work engagement. Second, self-directed learning ability of subordinates' had partial mediating effect on the relationship between IT company manager's authentic leadership and subordinates' work engagement.

4차 산업혁명 환경 속에서 기업 경쟁력을 높이기 위해서는 디지털 역량을 갖춘 인재를 확보하고, 육성하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 특히 IT 분야에서 요구되는 지식 및 스킬은 새롭게 생성되거나 추가되기 때문에 IT 기업 구성원의 업스킬링(upskilling)과 리스킬링(resklling)을 통한 전문성 향상은 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구는 IT 기업 종사자를 대상으로 관리자의 진성 리더십과 구성원의 직무 열의 관계에서 구성원의 자기주도학습 능력의 매개효과를 분석함으로써 인적자원개발 측면에서 IT 기업의 경쟁력 강화를 이론적 논의와 실천적 시사점을 제언하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, IT 기업 관리자의 진성 리더십은 구성원의 직무 열의에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 구성원의 자기주도학습 능력은 IT 기업 관리자의 진성 리더십과 구성원의 직무 열의 관계에서 부분매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 본 연구는 IT 기업 관리자의 진성 리더십이 구성원의 자기주도학습 능력을 촉진시키며, 나아가 직무 열의도 증진시킬 수 있다는 것을 실증하였다.
