초록

기업윤리에 대한 학술적·실무적 관심과 더불어 기업윤리와 조직성과 간에 관계성을 입증하려는 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 윤리적 리더십(ethical leadership)은 기업윤리의 핵심요인이지만 지금까지 규범적 혹은 철학적 관점에서 그 중요성에 대한 논의만 이루어져왔을 뿐 실증연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한, 조직의 윤리문제가 중요한 이슈로 부각되면서 윤리적 이슈를 해결하도록 돕는 윤리적 풍토에 대한 연구자들의 관심도 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 윤리적 리더십과 윤리적 풍토 간의 관계를 규명하려는 시도는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 한편, 조직 유효성의 유용한 척도로서 조직몰입은 직무특성, 역량, 리더십, 조직 공정성, 조직적 지원 등에 의해 영향을 받으며, 목표성취 노력, 내·외재적 만족, 적극적 행동, 이타주의 및 직무성과를 높이고 결근율, 이직의도 및 이직행동을 포함하는 부정적 결과를 줄이는 효과를 갖는다. 조직몰입에 관한 연구는 여전히 인기가 많으나 조직몰입에 대한 윤리의 영향에 대해서는 상대적으로 알려진 바가 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 윤리적 리더십, 윤리적 풍토 및 조직몰입 간의 관계를 검증하고, 윤리적 리더십과 조직몰입 간의 관계에서 윤리적 풍토의 매개효과를 파악하여 양자 간의 관계를 체계적으로 설명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내 9개 대기업에 종사하는 755명의 구성원들로부터 얻은 자료를 바탕으로 인과관계를 분석하였다. 윤리적 리더십은 직원들이 자신의 직속상사를 대상으로 평가한 것으로 중간관리자들의 윤리적 리더십을 나타내는 것이다. 분석결과, 윤리적 리더십은 윤리적 풍토(공리주의적 풍토와 원칙주의적 풍토)에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 윤리적 풍토(공리주의적 풍토와 원칙주의적 풍토)는 조직몰입에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한, 윤리적 리더십은 조직몰입에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 윤리적 풍토(공리주의적 풍토와 원칙주의적 풍토)가 두 변수 간의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 근거하여 연구가 가지는 이론적 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하였다.

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between ethical leadership, ethical climate and organizational commitment. To investigate the relationship, we used a data of 755 employees from 9 Korean companies. Structural equation model was employed to test the hypotheses. Results of analyses supported hypotheses as follows: (1) Ethical leadership is positively related to an ethical climate of benevolence and principle excluding egoism. (2) Both a benevolent climate and principled climate have a positive effect on organizational commitment while egoistic climate has no relationship with it. (3) Ethical leadership is positively related to organizational commitment. In addition, the mediating role of ethical climate is examined in the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational commitment(benevolent climate and principled climate). Theoretical and practical implications are proposed, and several limitations of this study and suggestions for future research are discussed as well.
