Abstract

This study examined the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on creative behavior and the mediating effect of knowledge sharing behavior in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior. In particular, this study examined the moderating effect of leader-member exchange (LMX) in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior. In this study, after distributing 500 questionnaires to executives and employees working at small and medium-sized companies in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, 259 questionnaires were used for hypothesis verification, excluding 38 unfaithful or missing responses. The analysis results are as follows. First, it was found that entrepreneurial orientation had a significant positive (+) effect on creative behavior. Second, it was found that entrepreneurial orientation had a significant positive (+) effect on knowledge sharing behavior. Third, knowledge sharing behavior was found to have a significant positive (+) effect on creative behavior. Fourth, knowledge sharing behavior was found to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior. Finally, it was found that LMX strengthened the positive (+) relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior. The theoretical implications of this study are as follows. First, this study makes a theoretical contribution in that it revealed the mediating effect of knowledge-sharing behavior in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior through empirical analysis of corporate members. Next, this study has theoretical implications in that it revealed that LMX strengthens the positive (+) relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and creative behavior. On the other hand, the practical implications of this study are as follows. First, companies need to find ways to strengthen the entrepreneurial orientation. Next, companies need to find ways to improve the quality of LMX between bosses and subordinates. Finally, this study discussed research limitations and future research directions.

본 연구는 조직의 창업지향성이 조직구성원의 창의적 행동에 미치는 영향과 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 관계에 있어서 지식공유행동의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 특히, 본 연구는 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 관계에 있어서 리더-구성원 교환관계의 조절효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 서울 및 경기도에 위치한 중소기업에 근무하는 임직원을 대상으로 500부의 설문지를 작성지시문과 함께 배포 후 무기명으로 297부를 수집하여 응답이 불성실하거나 누락된 38부를 제외한 259부의 설문지를 가설검증에 사용하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조직의 창업지향성은 조직구성원의 창의적 행동에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업지향성은 지식공유행동에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지식공유행동은 창의적 행동에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 지식공유행동은 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 관계에서 부분 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 리더-구성원 교환관계는 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 정(+)의 관계를 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과가 제시하는 이론적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 본 연구는 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 관계에 있어서 지식공유행동의 매개효과를 기업의 구성원들을 대상으로 실증적 분석을 통해 밝혔다는 점에서 이론적 기여를 한다. 다음으로, 본 연구는 리더-구성원 교환관계가 창업지향성과 창의적 행동 간의 정(+)의 관계를 강화한다는 사실을 밝혔다는 점에서 이론적 시사점이 있다. 한편으로, 본 연구결과가 제시하는 실무적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 기업들은 조직의 창업지향성을 강화할 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 다음으로, 기업들은 상사와 부하간의 리더-구성원 교환관계의 질을 높이는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 마지막으로, 본 연구는 연구한계 및 향후 연구방향을 논의하였다.
