팀 성과에 대한 직무 자율성의 다수준 효과

Although previous studies have found positive effects of individual level job autonomy on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organization citizenship and innovative behavior, there has been limited study investigating the team contexts in which job autonomy can be more effective in improving team performance from the multi-level approach. Therefore, this paper investigated the effects of job autonomy on perceived team performance, and also examined the moderating role of team autonomy climate and team psychological safety diversification between them. This study used a multi-level analysis based on survey data of 178 employees from 42 work teams in Korean manufacturing and service industry firms. By using Hierarchical Linear Model(HLM) test, we found that job autonomy at individual level was significantly related to perceived team performance. The results also shown that both team autonomy climate and team psychological safety diversification have moderated the relationship between job autonomy and team performance. Understanding the team level contextual factors affecting job autonomy at individual level can provide manager and scholar useful information and insight who want to increase team performance.
