Abstract

This study sought to examine how internal market orientation of service organizations affects the service providers' adaptive service behavior and to determine what psychological processes go through for this purpose. To achieve this purpose, based on previous research, a research model was set up to predict that internal market orientation of service organizations will increase service providers' adaptive service behavior by continuously mediating the psychological processes of person-environment fit and work engagement. To test the hypothesis, a survey was conducted and data were collected from nutritionists at consignment catering companies located in Busan and Gyeongnam. As a result of testing the hypotheses proposed in this study's research model, internal market orientation increased person-job fit and person-organization fit, which are key elements of person-environment fit. And, it was confirmed that person-job fit and person-organization fit have a positive effect on work engagement. Additionally, work engagement improved service providers' adaptive service behavior. Lastly, this study confirmed that the influence of internal market orientation on adaptive service behavior is continuously mediated by person-environment fit and job enthusiasm.

본 연구는 서비스 조직의 내부시장 지향성이 서비스 제공자의 적응적 서비스 행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고, 이를 위하여 어떠한 심리적 과정을 거치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 선행연구를 바탕으로 서비스 조직의 내부시장 지향성이 서비스 제공자의 인지적 측면인 개인-환경 적합성과 정서적 측면인 직무열의의 심리적 과정을 연속으로 매개하여 적응적 서비스 행동을 증가시킬 것으로 가정하고, 가설 및 연구모델을 설정하였다. 가설검증을 위하여 부산과 경남지역에 위치하는 위탁급식업체의 영양사를 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하고 데이터를 수집하였다. 본 연구의 연구모델에서 제안된 가설을 검증한 결과 내부시장 지향성은 개인-환경 적합성의 핵심요소인 개인-직업 적합성과 개인-조직 적합성을 증가시켰으며, 개인-직업 적합성과 개인-조직 적합성은 직무열의에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 직무열의는 서비스 제공자의 적응적 서비스 행동을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 적응적 서비스 행동에 대한 내부시장 지향성의 영향력은 개인-환경 적합성과 직무열의를 연속적으로 매개함을 본 연구에서 확인하였다.
