LMX가 심리적 임파워먼트를 통해 이직의도에 미치는 영향: 무형식 학습의 조절된 매개효과를 중심으로

This study empirically examined relationship among LMX, informal learning, psychological empowerment and turnover intention in employees of Korean multinational companies. The primary purpose of the present research was to identify informal learning as a moderator between LMX and psychological empowerment and to examine the mediating effect of psychological empowerment between LMX and turnover intention. A total of 327 Korean employees participated in this study. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that LMX was positively related to psychological empowerment and negatively related to turnover intention and psychological empowerment partially mediated the relationship between LMX and turnover intention. Also, the moderating effect of informal learning between LMX and psychological empowerment was significant, suggesting that the relationship between LMX and psychological empowerment was stronger when informal learning was high than low. Additionally, the moderated mediating effect was significant, suggesting that informal learning moderated the mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the relationship between LMX and turnover intention. Lastly, the results, implications, limitations, and future study directions of this research was discussed.
