국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 중소기업 경영자의 전략적 리더십이 조직구성원의 심리적 요인을 통해 개인성과로 이어지는 효과 메커니즘을 분석하고자 전략적 리더십이 심리적 임파워먼트와 직무열의, 혁신행동에 미치는 영향과 심리적 임파워먼트의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 중소기업에서 근무하는 회사원 513명의 설문 응답 자료를 바탕으로 구조방정식모형을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 중소기업 경영자의 전략적 리더십은 조직구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 직무열의와 혁신행동에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전략적 리더십은 조직구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트를 통해 직무열의와 혁신행동에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 심리적 임파워먼트의 매개효과를 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 전략적 리더십이 중소기업의 조직 효과성과 기업성과에 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 규명함으로써 중소기업의 경영성과 향상을 위한 전략적 리더십의 중요성을 이해하는데 기여하고 있다. 또한, 중소기업 경영자의 전략적 리더십 향상을 위한 방안을 제안함으로써 급변하는 경영환경에서 중소기업의 생존과 성장에 기여하고 있다.
