Abstract

Will the effects of self-sacrificial leadership on member's organizational outcomes be mediated by the member's workplace spirituality? This study is to empirically investigate the question. Using the research model in which leader's self-sacrifice is the independent variable, member's affective commitment and job satisfaction are the dependent variables, and member's workplace spirituality (as measured by spiritual motivation) is the mediating variable, field survey data were collected from 255 participants. Data analyses results show a complete mediation effect of the member's workplace spirituality (as measured by spiritual motivation) over the impact self-sacrificial leadership has on the member's organizational performance (as measured by affective commitment and job satisfaction). This result is a stronger effect than the one reported in the previous research conducted by Choi (2011), where the mediating effect was partial. The need to refine the concept of spiritual motivation and future research issues are then discussed and proposed.

이 연구는 자기희생적 리더십이 구성원의 조직성과에 미치는 영향이 직장영성(workplace spirituality)에 의해 매개되는가를 검증하기 위한 것이다. 실증연구에서, 종속변수인 구성원의 조직성과는 구성원의 정서적 조직몰입과 직무만족으로, 매개변수인 구성원의 직장영성은 구성원의 영적동기부여로 측정되었다. 255명의 연구 참가자로부터 수집된 현장 서베이 데이터를 분석한 결과, 자기희생적 리더십이 구성원의 조직성과에 대하여 가지는 효과가 구성원의 직장영성에 의해 완전매개된다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이는 선행연구(Choi, 2011)가 보고한 부분매개 효과보다 강력한 결과이며, 실험방법으로 수행된 선행연구의 취약점이었던 외적타당성 부족을 보완해 주고 있다. 매개변수인 직장영성의 측정에 사용된 영적동기부여와 관련하여, 개념적 정교화와 측정항목의 추가적 개발의 필요성에 대한 토의 및 연구의 시사점이 제시되었다.
