밀레니얼 팔로워십에 관한 기업의 밀레니얼 세대 구성원의 인식 유형 분석: Q방법론을 중심으로

The purpose of the study is to analyze the followership types of Millennial employees working in Korean corporations. To achieve the goal, this study utilized Q methodology and 62 statements of Q samples were used to investigate the subjectivity of 27 Millennial followers in Korean corporations about their followership. Q sorting was carried out by 27 participants of the study. After reading 62 statements about followership of Millennial employees, the participants ranked and sorted each statement based on their subjectivity about the topic. The data collected from Q sorting were analysed by KADE(KenQ Analysis of Desktop Edition), an application specifically designed for the analysis of Q data. As a result of the analysis, 4 factors of Millennial followership were identified. The major finding of the study is as follows. The Millennial followership can be categorized into four types: Type 1, ‘development oriented expert type’; type 2, ‘present oriented individualistic type’; type 3, ‘job satisfied supervisor complying type’; and type 4, ‘practical interest oriented personal value type.’ The ‘development oriented expert type’ is recognized by their superiors, as they take the initiative in their work with pride and passion of an expert. The ‘present oriented individualistic type’ was found to have individualistic and present oriented values, not sacrificing personal life for work. The ‘job satisfied supervisor complying type’ was found to have enthusiasm for work and show complying attitude and behavior to their superior. In addition, the ‘practical interest oriented personal value type’ was found to focus on the relationship with the superior and prioritize personal values and happiness over the organization.
