상사의 사회적 매력행동에 대한 부하의 인식이 사회심리적 자원을 통해 혁신행동에 미치는 영향: 성별의 조절효과

This study investigated how subordinates' favorable perception of supervisors' social sexual behavior affects their socio-psychological resources and innovative behavior, examining the mediating role of socio-psychological resources and the moderating role of gender. The research model was tested on 212 office workers from various domestic companies. Results showed that favorable perception of supervisors' social sexual behavior positively influenced subordinates' socio-psychological resources and innovative behavior, with socio-psychological resources partially mediating this relationship. Gender moderated the effect: for women, higher levels of perceived social sexual behavior led to the acquisition of more socio-psychological resources, whereas men exhibited the opposite tendency, with lower perception levels associated with higher resource levels. These findings represent pioneering research demonstrating that favorably perceived social sexual behavior can serve as a resource leading to innovative behavior, contrary to its typically negative view. The study suggests acknowledging the importance of positive interactions related to social sexual behavior while recognizing gender differences in perception, to promote positive organizational energy and establish a mature organizational culture.
