직무자율성과 급진적/점진적 창의성간의 관계:팀 몰입의 조절효과에 관한 다수준 연구

초록

As business environment becomes more uncertain and competitive, the development of radical ideas in organization becomes more emphasized, and the necessity of studying on creativity by differentiating between radical creativity and incremental creativity beyond a broad and unitary construct has been proposed. The purpose of this paper was to examine the effects of job autonomy on radical creativity and incremental creativity at individual level, and the moderating effect of team commitment at team-level to those relationship. For this study, survey- based data were collected from various industries and teams in Korea. At first, performing confirmatory factor analyses, we checked for construct independence and discriminant validity of job autonomy, radical creativity, and incremental creativity. Then, we performed multilevel analyses using HLM (Hierarchical Linear Model) considering individual level and team level simultaneously because each individual was nested in a team. The results showed that job autonomy was positively related to radical creativity and incremental creativity. In addition, team commitment at team-level significantly moderated the relationship between job autonomy and radical creativity. On the contrary to hypotheses, the moderating effects of team commitment on the relationship between job autonomy and incremental creativity was not supported. Finally, we discussed the implications and limitations of this study, and future research direction. Through the study results, we were able to ensure that job autonomy is to be more provided to facilitate individual radical creativity in team, and specifically team commitment is to be more promoted at team-level. We expect that various studies on radical/incremental creativity will be progressed.
