참여적 리더십이 조직구성원의 메타인지에 미치는 영향: 그릿과 창의적 자기효능감의 직렬다중매개효과를 중심으로

The purpose of this study was to test the validity of participative leadership as an antecedent of metacognition of organizational members in an uncertain and rapidly changing business environment and to identify the mechanism of this relationship through the serial multiple mediation effect via grit and creative self-efficacy. The hypotheses were tested by analyzing 360 questionnaires collected from employees in various industries in Korea with more than 300 employees. The results showed that first, participative leadership has a significant positive effect on metacognition of organizational members. Second, grit was found to mediate the relationship between participative leadership and metacognition of organizational members, and third, creative self-efficacy was found to mediate the relationship between participative leadership and metacognition of organizational members. Fourth, participative leadership positively influenced organizational members' metacognition through sequential mediation of grit and creative self-efficacy. The significance of this study was that it verified the antecedents and specific mechanisms of leadership dimensions on metacognition, which has been limited in the field of business administration. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications were presented and limitations of this study and directions for future research were discussed.
