Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a followership competency measurement tool that reflects the characteristics of millennials, which are rapidly flowing into companies and are emerging in the forefront of corporate management. For this purpose, a measurement tool with validity is developed through follow-up studies based on the millennial generation followership competency model presented in previous studies. The study applied DeVellis' scale development procedure to secure validity through preliminary item development and verification, and measurement tool verification steps. The main study results are as follows: First of all, it consisted of 59 questions as a result of developing and verifying preliminary questions to be used as measurement tools for the 14 followership competency components in the three areas suggested in the previous studies. Secondly, items that did not meet the factor criteria were deleted as a result of conducting exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to secure the validity of the measurement tool, similar concepts were integrated and consisted of 44 measurement items of 10 followership competency factors in 3 areas. Afterwards, the millennial generation followership competency measuring tool, which was finally confirmed through the process of verification validity, measurement equality, and same method convenience, was 24 items such as learning agility and self-reflection in the individual area, 13 items such as empathy and cooperation in the relationship area, organizational area consisted of 44 items with 8 items including organizational goal pursuit and change detection. This study has academic significance in that it validated a followership competency measurement tool that reflects the characteristics of the generation that were not addressed in the existing domestic followership competency studies, it has practical significance in that it can measure the followership capabilities of millennials in the HRD and support the utilization of human resources based on the results.
