진성리더십과 팀 혁신행동 간의 관계에서 팀 임파워먼트와 공유된 책임감의 매개효과: 팀 수준의 분석으로

This study investigates the role of team empowerment and shared responsibility as mediators in the relationship between authentic leadership and team innovative behavior at the team level. Authentic leadership, which is based on authenticity, is expected to positively influence team empowerment as it encourages autonomy rather than controlling the team. It is also expected to positively impact shared responsibility, where team members take collective ownership rather than evading accountability. Team empowerment and shared responsibility are considered positive team processes; the more autonomy the team has and the more they share responsibility, the greater the motivation of team members, which in turn positively affects team innovative behavior. For this purpose, survey was conducted involving 81 teams from 7 South Korean companies, with participation from 81 team leaders and 344 team members. The analysis revealed that authentic leadership positively influences both team empowerment and shared responsibility. However, while team empowerment did not have a significant impact on team innovative behavior, shared responsibility showed a significant effect on team innovative behavior. Based on these findings, theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future directions of study were discussed.
