상사 조직시민행동이 부하 조직시민행동에 미치는 영향 : 성취와 친교욕구의 조절효과

In this paper, we try to identify the effect of leader’s prosocial behavior on follower as trickle-down effect between leader and follower. Based on the social learning theory and the social exchange theory, the leader’s organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) will increase the OCB of the follower. In other words, the desirable aspect of the boss in the organization will serve as a job model for the follower. Therefore, followers imitate the behavior of the supervisor and express the leader 's desirable behavior as his own behavior. Not only that, but the leader' s OCB is aware of the follower as a material and emotional benefit to followers. For these positive benefits, followers will show the corresponding behavior based on mutual reciprocity. In this paper, we also expect that the need of the individual will strengthen the trickle-down effect between leader and follower. The study model and hypotheses were empirically analyzed based on questionnaires of 157 leaders and 595 followers of 8 companies in Korea. The results of the study are as follows. First, the leader OCB significantly increases the follower OCB. Second, as a result of verifying the moderating effect of needs on the relationship between leader OCB and follower OCB only significant effect of need of achievement was obtained. On the other hand, significant moderating effect of affiliation need between leader OCB and follower OCB was not verified. In other words, for employees with high achievement need, the relationship between leader OCB and follower OCB is more strengthened. Based on the results of this study, theoretical and practical implications are suggested.
