The present study was conducted to test the mediating effects of work engagement in the relationship between issue leadership and innovative behavior. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to empirically test the impact of issue leadership on employees' innovative behavior, and to investigate the mediating effect of work engagement in the relationship between issue leadership and innovative behavior. The data was collected from 218 employees who are currently working at large hotels located in Seoul and Jeju. The results of this study show that issue leadership is positively associated with work engagement and innovative behavior, and that issue leadership is a crucial factor to facilitate employees' positive attitudes toward voluntary change-oriented behavior. In addition, work engagement partially mediated the relationship between issue leadership and innovative behavior. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of the study results have been discussed along with limitations and future direction of the study.

This study was conducted to empirically analyze the impact of issue leadership and learning agility on the innovation behavior of startup employees. Issue leadership was subdivided into issue creation, audience engagement, and issue execution. Learning agility was subdivided into five factors: feedback seeking, information orientation, reflection, experimentation, and agility. The survey was conducted among employees working in startups. In this study, 300 valid surveys were analyzed. Hierarchical regression was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the empirical analysis were as follows Among the sub-factors of issue leadership, issue creation, audience engagement, and the sub-factors of learning agility, information orientation, reflection, experimentation, and agility had a significant positive effect on startup employees' innovation behavior. On the other hand, issue execution, a subcomponent of issue leadership, and feedback seeking, a subcomponent of learning agility, did not have a significant effect on innovative behavior. In addition, the magnitude of the effect on innovative behavior was in the order of experimentation, agility, issue creation, information orientation, audience engagement, and reflection. Therefore, this study on the effect of issue leadership and learning agility on innovative behavior concludes that issue creation, audience engagement, information orientation, reflection, experimentation, and agility play an important role.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of issue leadership by sales managers on sales team performance, while examining the mediating role of team adaptive sales behavior and the moderating effect of team-member exchange (TMX). Data was collected from 125 sales teams, and both independent and dependent variables were measured with a time difference of two months using responses from sales managers and team members. The empirical analysis revealed several important findings. Firstly, the study found that issue leadership had a significant positive effect on sales team performance. Secondly, team adaptive sales behavior was found to partially mediate the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. Lastly, the study revealed that TMX moderated the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. These findings have significant academic and practical implications. Firstly, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of issue leadership as a sales leadership style in the B2C industry. Secondly, it highlights the importance of team adaptive sales behavior as a mechanism that mediates the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. Lastly, it underscores the significance of TMX as a situational factor that moderates the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. In practice, the results suggest that organizations should focus on developing issue leaders, fostering creative sales behavior at the team level, and activating social exchange within sales teams to enhance sales team performance.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of participative leadership on the job commitment of employees and to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment and the moderating effect of issue leadership. A survey was conducted on employees working in various industries and analyzed using PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2013). The reliability and validity of measurement tools were reviewed through a preliminary survey, and the timing of measurement of independent variable and dependent variable was separated to overcome the common method bias. The results of the study are as follows. First, it has been confirmed that participative leadership has a positive influence on employee's job commitment. Second, participative leadership strengthened the psychological empowerment of employees, and through it, the indirect effect of improving the employee's job commitment was confirmed. Third, the moderating effect of issue leadership was confirmed in the relationship between participative leadership and psychological empowerment. Fourth, the moderated mediating effect was confirmed that the effect of participative leadership on job commitment through psychological empowerment is reinforced by issue leadership. This study contributes to the expansion of existing leadership research by empirically identifying the mechanism between participative leadership and employee's job commitment. Implications regarding the results of the study, limitations of the study, and future study tasks were discussed.

This study was conducted focusing on the innovative behavior necessary for the long-term survival of an organization in a business environment in which uncertainty and complexity are increasing. To this end, the relationship between issue leadership and innovative behavior of organizational members was investigated from the perspective of Signaling theory, Path-Goal theory and Job Demands-Resources theory. In addition, the mediating role of learning agility and sub-components of learning agility was empirically analyzed. For empirical analysis, a survey was conducted with a total of 252 team leaders and team members working in multinational companies (142 in Korea, 110 in the US). The results of this study are as follows. Issue leadership was analyzed to have a positive (+) effect on the innovative behavior of employees. Learning agility was found to play a mediating role between issue leadership and innovative behavior. On the other hand, the mediating effect was tested for each of the sub-components of learning agility, such as feedback seeking, information seeking, reflecting, experimenting, agility. As a result, all five sub-components were found to play a mediating role between issue leadership and innovative behavior. In particular, it was analyzed that the mediating effect of agility was the largest. Next, information seeking appeared to be large. Although there are some studies that have identified the mediating role of learning agility between issue leadership and innovative behavior, this study is considered to have academic implication as there are few cases of subdivided study. At the practical level, it is expected to provide implications for where to focus more when trying to improve an organization's learning agility and innovation behavior
