연구개발팀의 혁신성과에 대한 팀장의 변혁적 리더십 영향과 팀 심리적 안전 풍토의 조절역할에 대한 연구

Amid growing complexity in business environment, transformational leadership is becoming ever more important. As previous studies on the relationship between transformational leadership and performance in R&D teams have failed to produce consistent results. However, there has been relatively scant discussion of it. R&D team members can perceive their team leader’s transformational leadership as interference driven by such factors as expertise, intrinsic motivation and desire for independence. Leaders, however, play a relatively big role in domestic corporations operating based on collective culture, which makes transformational leadership of R&D team leaders effective in boosting innovative performance. In addition, as leadership stresses the importance of vertical relationship between superiors and subordinates, situational factors with an emphasis on interpersonal work climate among team members could boost the effectiveness of transformational leadership in fostering innovative performance. This study has conducted an empirical analysis of the impact of transformational leadership on team innovative performance and the moderating role of team psychological safety based on material collected from the leaders and supportive teams of R&D teams of large domestic corporations. The results show that intellectual stimulation has had a positive impact on team innovative performance. In addition, as for the positively moderating roles of team psychological safety in a relationship between identifying and articulating a vision and team innovative performance in the R&D teams. Based on the research results, implications and direction for future research have been drawn.
