스포츠 기업의 GWP 조직문화가 조직시민행동에 미치는 영향: 조직몰입의 매개효과와 긍정심리자본의 조절효과

본 연구는 스포츠 기업의 GWP 조직문화가 조직시민행동에 미치는 영향을 검증하고 더 나아가 조직몰입의 매개효과와 긍정심리자본의 조절효과를 검증함으로써, 스포츠 기업의 효과적인 인적 자원 관리의 유의미한 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 비확률 샘플링 중 유의표집방법을 통해 총 280부의 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터에 대하여 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 통해 유의수준 .05에서 검증하였다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 수립된 연구가설에 대한 검증 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, GWP 조직문화의 하위요인 중 자부심과 재미는 조직시민행동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 신뢰는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, GWP 조직문화와 조직시민행동 간의 관계에서 조직몰입은 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, GWP 조직문화와 조직시민행동 간의 관계에서 긍정심리자본의 조절효과는 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 보다 구체적으로 긍정심리자본이 높은 집단에서 GWP 조직문화가 조직시민행동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 스포츠 기업은 GWP 조직문화를 구성함에 있어 자부심과 재미 요소를 토대로 구성원의 조직몰입을 유도하고 동시에 긍정심리자본을 이용해 구성원의 조직시민행동을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 이처럼 본 연구에서는 스포츠 기업의 효과적인 인적 자원 관리를 위한 유의미한 시사점을 제공하고 있다. 동시에 보다 발전된 연구 수행을 위한 후속 연구의 기회도 함께 제시하고 있다.

A Study on the Effect of Authentic Leadership on Affective Organization Commitment and Change Supportive Behavior: Focused on the Mediating Effects of Positive Psychological Capital

본 연구는 진성리더십이 정서적 조직몰입과 변화지지행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이들 관계에서긍정심리자본의 매개효과를 분석하는 것을 주요 목적으로 하였다. 이를 통해 리더의 진성리더십이 구성원들의 정서적 몰입과 변화지지행동에 실제로 유의한 영향을 미치는지를 실증적으로 검증하고 이들 변수들 간의 관계에서 구성원들이 가진 긍정심리자본의 역할과 중요성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해진성리더십, 긍정심리자본, 정서적 조직몰입 및 변화지지행동 등 관련 요인에 대한 이론적 논의를 통해연구모형과 가설을 도출하였다. 가설검증 및 실증분석을 위해 국내 기업 종사자를 대상으로 설문조사를실시하였다. 가설검증 결과 진성리더십이 조직구성원의 정서적 조직몰입과 변화지지행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 이들 관계에서 긍정심리자본의 매개효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 긍정적 조직관리를 위해 진성리더십과 긍정심리자본에 대한 적극적인 개발의 필요성과 의의를 중심으로 기업들의 인사조직 분야에 대한 조직관리 시사점을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 학문적 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 진성리더십과 변화지지행동과의 상호 연관성을 규명하였다는 점과 조직변화 맥락에서 구성원의 태도와 행동에 대한 진성리더십의 이론적 논의를 확장하였다. 기존의 진성리더십 연구는 주로 진성리더의 긍정적 정서가 직무성과, 직무만족, 조직시민행동 등과 같은 조직효과성에 미치는 영향에 대한 것이 주를 이루었다. 반면 본 연구에서는 조직변화 상황에서도 진성리더십이 구성원들의 사고와 태도뿐만 아니라 변화지지행동까지 이끌어낼 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 둘째, 긍정심리자본의 매개효과에 대한 실증분석을 통해 다양한 긍정심리요인들이 구성원의 내적 동기유발요인으로 작동하여 조직구성원의 정서적 조직몰입과 변화지지행동을 촉진하는 메커니즘으로 작용함을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 조직관리적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 긍정적 조직관리를 위해 진성리더십에 대한 개발을 적극적으로 추진할 필요가 있다. 진성리더십을 개발하기 위해 리더의 자아인식과 내면화된 도덕관점에 대한 자기성찰 기회의 확대가 필요하며, 이는 조직성과뿐만 아니라 조직변화 맥락에서도 의의가 있다. 이는 리더가 조직구성원들에게 효과적인 리더십을 발휘하기 위해서는 리더 자신에 대한 성찰과 자아인식을 할 수 있는 능력을 향상시키는 것뿐만 아니라, 내적인 도덕기준과 신념, 가치관에 따라 움직일수 있는 자기 규제에 대한 노력을 통해 외부의 불합리한 영향력에도 스스로 통제할 수 있는 진성리더십을 함양해 나가야 함을 시사한다. 둘째, 긍정심리자본에 대한 적극적인 개발이 요구된다. 특히 리더는정서적 조직몰입과 변화지지행동을 촉진하는 긍정심리자본의 역량을 강화시킬 수 있는 조직의 교육풍토와 의식의 제고에 관심을 가져야 한다. 또한 조직구성원의 긍정심리자본을 강조하는 것은 부정적 문제의 해결뿐만 아니라 조직변화에 대한 역기능적 저항이 일어나지 않는다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Mediating and Moderating Effects of Family Cohesion between Positive Psychological Capital and Health Behavior among Early Childhood Parents in Dual Working Families: A Focus on the COVID-19 Pandemic.

This study examined the mediating and moderating effects of family cohesion on the relationship between positive psychological capital and health promotion behaviors among dual working parents of young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected data from 214 dual working parents and analyzed the results using the IMB SPSS version 26.0 software. We found that positive psychological capital had significant effects on both family cohesion (β = 0.19, p < 0.001) and health promotion behaviors (β = 0.26, p < 0.001), while family cohesion showed a significant mediating effect on health promotion behaviors (β = 0.34, p = 0.002). Positive psychological capital (independent variable) also had significant effects on health promotion behaviors (β = 0.19, p < 0.001). Finally, a Sobel test showed that family cohesion had a significant partial mediating effect on the relationship between positive psychological capital and health promotion behaviors (Z = 2.70, p = 0.005) but no moderating effect. Thus, it is necessary to enhance health promotion behaviors through programs focused on both family cohesion and positive psychological capital. However, the fact that participants in this study were only from South Korea highlights the requirement for future research that includes participants from different cultural contexts and social systems.

엘리트 운동선수의 그릿과 긍정심리자본이 다차원스포츠자신감에 미치는 영향력 검증

본 연구는 대학팀과 실업팀에 소속되어 있는 엘리트 운동선수의 다차원스포츠자신감을 향상시켜줄 그릿과 긍정심리자본을 비교분석하는데 목적이 있다. 총 247부를 최종 분석에 사용하였으며, 자료처리는 IBM SPSS 25.0을 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계분석, 탐색적 요인 분석, 상관관계분석, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스포츠자신감의 하위요인이 스포츠숙련자신감에 미치는 영향력을 검증한 결과 위계적 회귀분석 1단계에서는 그릿의 흥미유지, 노력지속은 스포츠숙련자신감에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 위계적 회귀분석 2단계에서는 긍정심리자본의 탄력성, 그릿의 흥미유지, 그릿의 노력지속, 긍정심리자본의 자기효능감 순으로 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 스포츠자신감의 하위요인이 스포츠인 지효율자신감에 미치는 영향력을 검증한 결과 위계적 회귀분석 1단계에서는 그릿의 흥미유지, 노력지속은 스포츠인지효율자신감에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 위계적 회귀분석 2단계에서는 그릿의 노력지속, 긍정심리자본의 희망, 그릿의 흥미유지, 긍정심리자본의 자기효능감 순으로 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 스포츠자신감의 하위요인이 스포츠회복탄력자신감에 미치는 영향력을 검증한 결과 위계적 회귀분석 1단계에서는 그릿의 흥미유지, 노력지속은 스포츠회복탄력자신감에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 위계적 회귀분석 2단계에서는 그릿의 노력지속, 그릿의 흥미유지, 긍정심리자본의 낙관주의, 긍정심리자본의 희망 순으로 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 다차원스포츠자신감의 3가지 하위요인에 그릿은 모두 정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 긍정심리자본은 하위요인별로 영향력의 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
