상사와 부하의 정서지능이 LMX 질과 부하의 직무태도의 관계에 미치는 조절효과 연구

The purpose of this study is to empirically prove the existence of the effects of the interaction between the leader's EI and the subordinate's EI on the leader's leadership pattern and the relationship among the leader's EI, his leadership pattern, and the quality of LMX. The sample in this study consisted of junior military officers serving in the Korean Army. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted for the main study. Questionnaires were sent via mail or given in person to 200 company commanders and 200 platoon leaders who served in military units in Kyonggi-Do and Kangwon-Do. The data from 153 leader-subordinate dyads were analyzed using reliability analysis, factor analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Major findings of the study are as follows. First, it turned out that the higher EI the subordinate possesses, the higher the LMX quality that the leader perceives, and the higher EI the leader possesses, the higher the LMX quality the subordinate perceives. Second, the higher EI the leader possesses, the higher level of transformational leadership the leader shows. Third, it turned out that it is not significant the subordinate's EI moderate the relationship between the leader's EI and transformational leadership. Finally, transformational leadership mediates between 1) the leader's EI and the LMX qualities that the leader perceives and 2) the leader's EI and the average of the LMX quality that the leader and the subordinate perceive. The implications of this study's results are like the following.
