변혁적리더십과 직무특성이 자치단체 구성원의 혁신행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study is to focus on the effect of the perceived leadership style and job characteristic on the innovative behavior in public sector employees. Also, it is to identify the moderator roles of distributive justice as well as the job satisfaction on their relationships. After extensive literature has been reviewed, empirical results reveal as follows. First, the relationship between transformational leadership and the public sector employees' innovative behavior is effective. More specifically, it shows that charisma and intellectual stimulus consideration as sub factors of transformational leadership gives some effects on the members' innovative behavior. Second, verification on the relationship with job characteristics and the members' innovative behavior shows that a task significance and autonomy as sub-factors of job characteristics gives some effect on the members' innovative behavior. However, there was no significant relationship between feedback and the innovative behavior. Third, there was no moderator effect of the distributive justice on the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative behavior. Forth, there was moderator effect of the job satisfaction in the relationship between job characteristics and innovative behavior, and it shows that job satisfaction gives some effect on task significance and feedback, while autonomy gives no effect on them. To sum up the result of this study, we have to recognize that the most important factor to improve innovative behavior in the public sector employees is leader's role. Repeatedly, the leader must be the leader who shows vision, the leader who leads members with interest and encouragement, the leader who rewards members fairly and differently to gain the goal of an organization. In addition, it should be emphasized that there is significant relationship between specific job characteristics such as task significance and autonomous task and creative innovative behavior in public sector employees.
