Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of young children's emotional intelligence and prosocial behaviors on their leadership. The subjects were 400 children aged 4 to 5 in the metropolitan area in South Korea. Subjects' emotional intelligence, prosocial behaviors, and leadership were measured by their teachers using questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analyses, and analysis of multiple regression using SPSS 23.0. Young children's emotional intelligence as well as prosocial behaviors showed the positive correlations with their leadership. In addition, young children's emotional intelligence and prosocial behaviors had the positive effects on their leadership.

본 연구의 목적은 유아의 정서지능과 친사회적행동이 리더십에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 연구대상은 수도권에 소재한 유아교육기관 20개소에 재원 중인 만 4, 5세 유아 400명이다. 연구대상 유아의 담임교사에게 설문지 조사를 실시하여 유아의 정서지능과 친사회적행동 및 리더십을 측정했으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0을 사용하여 분석했다. 측정도구의 문항신뢰도와 기술통계를 산출하고, Pearson 상관분석 및 중다회귀분석을 실시했다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 유아의 정서지능과 친사회적행동이 높게 나타날수록 리더십이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아의 정서지능과 친사회적행동은 리더십에 유의한 정적인 영향을 주었으며, 영향력에 있어 친사회적행동이 정서지능 보다 더 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다. 유아 리더십은 현대사회에서 요구되는 정서 사회성발달의 일부로 본 연구결과는 정서지능과 친사회적 행동 증진을 통해 리더십 발달을 지원할 수 있음을 시사한다.
