지식공유와 창의적 행동 간의 관계 : 정서적 몰입의 매개효과와 공유리더십의 조절된 매개효과

In modern organizations, continuous innovation is essential to respond to rapidly changing business environments and unpredictable market conditions, and the ability for creative problem-solving has become indispensable. Within this context, the facilitation of knowledge sharing is recognized as a key driver of employees’ creative behaviors and plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational innovation capabilities. Accordingly, this study empirically investigates the mediating role of affective commitment and the moderated mediation effect of shared leadership in the relationship between knowledge sharing and creative behavior. Data were collected from 323 employees working in manufacturing companies located in the Seoul metropolitan area, and analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that knowledge sharing positively influences creative behavior. Affective commitment was found to mediate the relationship between knowledge sharing and creative behavior. Furthermore, shared leadership was found to moderate the relationship between knowledge sharing and affective commitment; however, it did not significantly moderate the mediating effect of affective commitment in the relationship between knowledge sharing and creative behavior. These findings suggest that knowledge sharing serves as a critical mechanism for promoting employees’ creative behavior. The study contributes theoretically by elucidating the psychological processes linking knowledge sharing, affective commitment, and creative behavior, while also highlighting practical implications for fostering knowledge sharing and enhancing organizational creativity.
