조직정치지각이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향: 조직냉소주의와 분배공정성의 매개효과를 중심으로

초록

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of organizational politics on employees' innovative behavior, and to identify the mediating effect of organizational cynicism and distributive justice between the variables. As the perception of organizational politics is based on employees’ subjective perception and assessment, a questionnaire survey was carried out to 228 office workers who were in charge of management support, personnel affairs and finance in domestic large companies. Using SPSS 18.0 statistic program, Pearson’s correlation analysis was carried out to identify the characteristics of variables and their mutual relations, and multiple regression was also conducted for Baron & Kenny (1986)’s mediated effect analysis. The study findings show that the perception of organizational politics had negative influence upon employees’ innovative behavior suggesting that employees' awareness of selfish behavior in an organization caused by blood-ties, regionalism or school relations was considered as the inhibiting factor for materializing and executing new ideas for the organizational development. Whereas fair distribution of resources had positive influence upon innovative behavior, organizational cynicism had partial mediating effect between organizational politics and innovative behavior. The study also verified that distributive justice had partial mediating effect between organizational politics and innovative behavior. When fair distribution is recognized by employees’ contribution and investment, their expectation for their performance increases and that led the activation of innovative behavior.
