Psychological Well-being and Performance - Focused on the Social Loafing and Job Engagement -

현대의 경영환경에서 구성원의 행복은 조직의 목표 중 하나로 고려된다. 하지만 조직에서 구성원의 행복은 규범적으로 추구되기 보다는 지속가능하게 추구되어야 한다. 구성원의 행복이 조직목표로 지속적으로 추구되기 위해서는 조직의 지속적인 성장이 필수적이며, 이에 본 연구는 심리적 웰빙을 중심변수로 삼아 구성원의 행복을 파악하고, 성과와의 관계를 규명하고자 한다. 그 과정에서 구성원의 참여와 자원소 모를 중심으로 사회적 태만과 직무열의를 주요 경로로 파악하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 상황적 요인으로서 임파워링 리더십의 영향을 확인한다. 국내의 12개 조직에 대한 333명의 개인수준 분석결과, 심리적 웰빙이 높은 구성원들은 사회적 태만에 적게 참여하고, 직무열의가 높아 성과와 조직시민행동을 높였다. 임파 워링 리더십은 사회적 태만의 경로에만 유의하였다. 본 연구는 이론 전개와 실증분석을 통해, 사회적 태만과 협력연구분야, 긍정조직행동론 분야와 리더십 분야에 기여하였고, 실무적 시사점을 밝혔다.

After the development of the Positive Organizational Behavior theory (Luthans, 2002), the field of organizational behavior was influenced by the positive psychology movement and began to consider the happiness of members of an organization as the purpose of the organization. However, the happiness of members of an organization should not be pursued as a norm; it should be pursued in a sustainable manner, and in order to continuously pursue members’ happiness, organizational growth is required. This study uses psychological well-being as a major variable to identify members’ happiness and aims to establish a relationship between members’ happiness and performance. This study considers social loafing and job engagement as major paths from psychological well-being to performance, and it considers empowering leadership as a moderator of social loafing and job engagement. The data were collected from 333 members of 12 organizations in the Republic of Korea, and the results of individual-level analysis indicate that members who had a high level of psychological well-being participated less in social loafing and showed more job engagement, which led to better performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Empowering leadership as a moderator of social loafing was valid. By examining both the theoretical perspective and empirical analysis, this study contributes to the fields of social loafing, cooperative research, and the Positive Organizational Behavior theory, as well as provides recommendations for practical implications.
