The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between empowering leadership, directive leadership, safety communication, and safety behavior. Also, we examined whether safety motivation had a moderated mediating effect on this relationship. We collected the surveys from 343 combat pilots of the Republic of Korea Air Force for the analysis. Our structural equation modeling analysis revealed that there was a positive relationship between empowering leadership and safety behavior, and safety communication fully mediated the relationship. However, there is no relationship between directive leadership and safety behavior. Also, our results showed that safety motivation moderated the relationship between empowering leadership and safety communication, but not the relationship between directive leadership and safety communication. Furthermore, the relationship between empowering leadership and safety behavior through safety communication varied significantly with the degree of safety motivation, such that the higher the safety motivation, the higher the impact of empowering leadership on safety behavior through safety communication. Finally, we discussed the implications of these results, study limitations, and practical suggestions for future research.

현대 조직에서 환경변화가 빠르고 조직구성원들의 다양성이 높아지면서 개인에게 더 많은 권한과 자율성을 부여하는 임파워링 리더십에 대해 관심이 높아지고 있는데 본 연구에서는 임파워링 리더십의 효과성이 발휘되는 과정을 조직 구성원들의 리더수용을 중심으로 검증해 보았다. 이를 위하여 기업체에 근무하는 재직자들을 대상으로 총 293부의 설문을 수집하여 임파워링 리더십과 개인효과성(개인혁신행동, 개인성과) 간의 관계에 있어 개인의 리더수용의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 가설검증결과 첫째, 임파워링 리더십은 개인혁신행동에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고 둘째, 임파워링 리더십은 개인성과에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 임파워링 리더십과 개인혁신행동 간의 관계에서 개인의 리더수용은 완전매개를 하는 것으로 나타났고 넷째, 임파워링 리더십과 개인성과 간의 관계에서 개인의 리더수용은 완전매개를 하였다. 본 연구는 임파워링 리더십이 효과성을 발휘하기 위해선 조직 구성원들이 리더를 인정하고 자발적으로 받아들이는 리더수용이 중요하며 임파워링 리더십이 더욱 효과적이기 위해선 조직 구성원 개개인들의 성숙도와 가치관 등을 고려하여 리더가 임파워링 행동을 실시함이 필요하다는 점을 제시하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 임파워링 리더십이 내재적 동기, 잡 크래프팅, 직무성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 임파워링 리더십과 직무성과의 관계에 있어서 내재적 동기와 잡 크래프팅의 매개역할을 검증하였다. 양산, 울산, 경주의 중소기업 종사자로부터 수집한 설문자료를 사용하여 연구가설을 검증하기 위한 공분산 구조분석을 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 임파워링 리더십은 내재적 동기, 잡 크래프팅에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 임파워링 리더십은 직무성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 내재적 동기는 잡 크래프팅에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만 직무성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 잡 크래프팅은 직무성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 임파워링 리더십과 잡 크래프팅 간의 관계에서 내재적 동기가 부분 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 임파워링 리더십과 직무성과 사이에 잡 크래프팅이 완전 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 조직구성원의 직무성과 향상을 위해 리더의 임파워링 리더십을 통한 내재적 동기와 잡 크래프팅을 강화시켜야 함을 시사하고 있다.
