리더십의 유형과 임파워먼트가 직무만족 및 조직몰입에 미치는 영향에 관한 實證的 硏究

Abstract

The researchers who are more interested in the practical utility than the theoretical study in the organizational behavior recently have used the concept of empowerment, and have investigated it actively.

The limitation on the command leadership by the traditional leadership has been felt by the change of developmental conditions of system urban modernization, up-to-date equipment and variety of awareness structure together with the highest military scientific technical development in the modern war.

In particular, the military has the strict grade structure and thorough conveying system of order & command, and so the study on the leadership was variously attempted, but the sharp progress was not shown and each when the system members caused the social troubles, the military leadership has been criticized.

Notwithstanding these facts, the empirical study on the interactions of cause and effect among system effect, leadership and empowerment in the military system is actually not satisfactory.

In this study, I intended to categorize leadership style into the transformational leadership and transactional leadership and to analyze the relationship of cause and effect among the empowerment, job satisfaction and organization commitment empirically.

Accordingly, in this study, I established the research model being the transactional leadership and the transformational leadership as the independent variable, job satisfaction and organization commitment as the dependent variable and empowerment as the parameter.

For the empirical analysis on the above-stated research model, I carried out the validity analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis and path analysis based on the sample of 244 copies collected in the subject of naval officers who are in Busan, Jinhae, Pyeongtaek, Donghae and Jeju-do upon the study purpose.

As its analysis result, I could confirm which the empowerment made as the meaning, capacity, self-decision and effect among the leadership style classified as the transactional leadership and the transformational leadership, the job satisfaction and the organization commitment has been acted as the available parameter. As the analysis result of Structural Equation Model, the path coefficient of transformational leadership 0.35 was shown bigger than the transactional leadership's path coefficient 0.213.

When the longitudinal study for the clear presumption on the sample collection and cause & effect course for the expansion of considering the variable and the generalization of study is executed upon the wider agreement on the concept of empowerment from now on, its explanatory power will be increased.
