In this study, employee engagement was divided into job engagement and organization engagement. Data were collected from 183 employees working for Korean companies. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that ethical leadership was positively related to both job engagement and organization engagement. Second, ethical leadership was also positively related to job satisfaction of employees. Third, job engagement and organization engagement were found to partially mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction respectively. The results of this study suggest a theoretical contribution in that it expanded existing studies on the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction. This study is significant in that it revealed a mechanism that ethical leadership directly affects job satisfaction in the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction, but indirectly positively affects employee engagement variables such as job engagement and organization engagement.

This research is an empirical study to analyze the relationship among the ethical leadership of supervisor, CSR attitude of subordinate, and supervisor's performance evaluated by subordinate. A survey was conducted for the employees of a large manufacturing company in Korea, and 196 questionnaires were analyzed. Results of multiple regression analyses showed that the relationship between the ethical leadership of supervisor and the CSR attitude of subordinate was positively significant. That is, the supervisor's ethical leadership leads the subordinate's positive CSR attitude. And, supervisor's performance evaluated by subordinate positively moderated the relationship between ethical leadership and CSR attitude. That is, when subordinates assesses the supervisor's performance as high, the positive relationship between supervisor's ethical leadership and subordinate's CSR attitude becomes relatively stronger. Theoretical and managerial implications of these empirical results were discussed.

90년대에 들어오면서 개인용 컴퓨터 보급의 확산, 컴퓨터교육의 일반화, PC통신서 비스의 확대 등으로 인하여 우리 사회에 정보화가 급속히 이루어지면서 정보화의 역기능적 인 사례가 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 1955년에 발생한 역기능 사례중 대표적인 것은 컴퓨 터바이러스에 의한 피해, 개인정보를 다루는 기관에서 내부인에 의한 개인정보의 유출, 컴 퓨터에 무단 침입하여 자료의 변조 및 삭제, 금융기관에서 단말기를 조작하여 고객의 예금 을 횡령하는 경우, 그 외에 신용카드나 증권 및 채권을 위조한 사례 등이 포함되고 있다. 이와 같은 정보화사회의 역기능을 해결하기 위하여 관련법들이 제정되고 있지만 법만으로는 완전히 해결이 어렵다. 왜냐하면 대부분의 법들이 윤리적인 원칙에 입각하여 제정되지만 윤 리적인 문제와 법률적인 문제는 다르기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정보윤리의 개념과 중요성을 살펴보고, 컴퓨터 관련 범죄의 절대다수를 차지하고 있는 금융기관을 대상으로 설 문조사를 실시하여 종업원들의 정보윤리에 대한 의식 수준을 측정하고 컴퓨터관련 범죄의 예방을 위한 정보윤리 수준의 제고방안에 대하여 연구하였다.
