Abstract

This study analyzed the effect of team feedback environment on feedback-seeking behavior, and further explored how feedback-seeking behavior led to the feeling of thriving at work and team commitment. Also, we examined the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between team feedback environment and feedback-seeking behavior. Using survey data from 201 workers employed in various industries in Korea, we found that team feedback environment was positively related to feedback-seeking behavior, and that the relationship was moderated by self-efficacy. In addition, feedback-seeking behavior was positively associated with the feeling of thriving at work and team commitment. The result suggests the importance of feedback-seeking behavior in improving performance as well as work attitude and energy. The result also emphasizes the critical role that team feedback environment plays, and the need to find ways to nurture the environment that fosters feedback seeking and giving.

본 연구의 목적은 환경적 요인으로서 팀 피드백 환경이 팀원들의 피드백 추구행동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 더 나아가 업무성장활력과 팀 몰입에 미치는 영향에 대해 검증하는 것이다. 또한, 개인적 요인으로서 팀원들의 자기효능감이 팀 피드백 환경 내에서 피드백 추구행동에 미치는 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 201명의 직장인들로부터 설문자료를 수집하였고, 상관관계분석과 위계적 회귀분석, 조절회귀분석을 실시하였다. 가설검증 결과, 팀 피드백 환경은 팀원들의 피드백 추구행동과 양(+)의 관계를 나타냈고, 자기효능감이 높은 팀원일수록 팀 피드백 환경 내에서 피드백 추구행동을 더 활발하게 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 피드백 추구행동은 업무성장활력 및 팀 몰입과 양(+)의 관계를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 피드백 추구행동이 직무성과에는 물론 직무태도 및 일터에서의 활력 및 에너지에도 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여주고, 피드백 추구행동을 활성화시키는 긍정적인 팀 피드백 환경이 조성되는 것이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.
