Abstract

In the current knowledge society, mobile devices have become a useful tool for performing work. In the context of COVID-19 which has made digital transformation inevitable, the importance of mobile work behaviors - performing work tasks through mobile devices - is further highlighted. Drawing from the behavioral immune system theory and cognitive appraisal theory of emotions, this study proposes that individual workers' concern about getting infected by COVID-19 will be negatively related to job satisfaction but positively related to mobile work behaviors. We further propose that leaders' communality and agency trait will be positively related to both job satisfaction and the increase of mobile work behaviors. Analyses of a matched dataset comprising survey data and mobile application usage data from 407 workers showed that their leaders' agency and communality were significantly related to the workers' job satisfaction. However, their mobile productivity was significantly related only to the communality of their leaders. The results of this study will provide useful theoretical and practical implications for researchers and managers who aim to understand and promote the technology adoption and knowledge productivity of workers in a pandemic situation.

현대 지식사회에서 모바일 기기는 유용한 업무 도구로 자리잡고 있다. 언택트로 대표되는 코로나19의 감염병 상황에서, 모바일 기기를 이용하여 업무를 수행하는 모바일 생산활동은 그 중요성이 더욱 부각된다. 본 연구에서는 코로나19 상황에서 직장인들의 직무만족도와 모바일 생산활동 증가의 선행변수로, 코로나19의 감염우려, 리더의 주체성향 및 교감성향을 제시하였다. 제안된 연구모델을 검증하기 위해 본 연구는 407명의 직장인을 대상으로 설문 데이터 및 모바일 애플리케이션 사용 데이터를 수집하였으며, 회귀분석을 통해 연구모델을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 코로나19의 감염우려는 직무만족도나 모바일 생산활동과 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 리더의 주체성향 및 교감성향 모두가 직장인의 직무만족도에 유의한 관계를 보였고, 리더의 교감성향은 모바일 생산활동과도 유의한 정적 관계를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 감염병 상황에서 직장인들의 기술 도입과 지식생산성을 이해하고 고취시키고자 하는 연구자 및 관리자에게 유용한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제공할 것이다.
