Leadership and Subordinates’ Resilience during Organizational Change : Mediating Effects of Sense of Meaning in Life
변혁적 리더십과 종업원 탄력성 : 삶의 의미성 지각의 매개효과
The present study investigated the relationships among three different types of leadership, subordinates' resilience, and a sense of meaning in life. Two hundred and ninety two employees working at eleven different organizations responded to measures of three types of leadership (transformational, transactional, laissez-faire), subordinates' resilience, and meaning in life. As a result of data analysis, it was revealed that transformational leadership was positively related with employee resilience whereas transactional leadership and laissez-faire leadership were negatively and non-significantly related with subordinates' resilience, respectively. It was also found that employees’ sense of the meaning in life fully mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and subordinates' resilience. Practical implications and limitations are also discussed.

본 연구는 세 종류의 리더십(변혁적, 거래적, 및 방임적 리더십), 종업원 탄력성, 및 지각된 삶의 의미성 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 11개의 기업에 근무하는 292명의 직장인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 변혁적 리더십, 거래적 리더십, 방임적 리더십, 종업원 탄력성 및 삶의 의미성을 측정하였다. 자료의 통계분석 결과 변혁적 리더십은 종업원 탄력성과 정의 관계를 가지는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 거래적 리더십은 종업원 탄력성과 부적 관계를 가지며, 방임적 리더십은 유의한 관계를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지각된 삶의 의미성은 변혁적 리더십과 종업원 탄력성을 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타나 변혁적 리더십이 종업원 탄력성에 대한 영향의 작동기제를 설명하는 변수임을 밝혔다.
