동료의 지식공유가 구성원 창의성에 미치는 영향 : 상호작용 공정성과 교환이데올로기의 조절효과

This study aims to investigate the effect of coworkers' knowledge sharing on employee creativity, as well as the moderating role of leaders' interactional justice and employees' exchange ideology in this relationship. The results of this study, drawn from a sample of 242 leader-employee dyads at six large companies in South Korea, support all of its hypotheses. Specifically, this study showed that coworkers' knowledge sharing encouraged employees’ creative outcome. Moreover, the results demonstrated that leaders' interactional justice moderates the positive relationship between coworkers' knowledge sharing and employee creativity in a way that strengthens this relationship when interactional justice is high rather than low. In addition, our results showed that the positive effect of coworkers' knowledge sharing on employee creativity is stronger when employees’ exchange ideology is low rather than high. Therefore, by providing the impact of coworkers’ knowledge sharing on employees' creative performance, this study contributes to finding the important antecedent factor that enables an organization to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that leaders' interactional justice and employees' exchange ideology can be major situational factors influencing the positive relationship between coworkers' knowledge sharing and employee creativity, thereby providing many theoretical and practical implications for research on knowledge sharing and creativity.
