Mid-sized manufacturing companies, which account for 0.7%(5,480 companies), 13.8%(1.169 million persons) of total employment, and 15.7% of total sales, have recently experienced a lot of difficulties in management activities due to the impact of COVID-19, the U.S.-China trade war, and the collapse of global supply chains. To overcome this, revitalization of quality management activities to strengthen corporate competitiveness is emerging as an urgent task. In order for these quality management activities to achieve their intended purpose, the positive leadership of corporate managers is very important above all else. There have been many studies related to positive leadership, but most have focused on charismatic leadership and transformational leadership centered on large companies or small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to present ways to strengthen the leadership of managers by empirically analyzing how the positive leadership of managers of mid-sized manufacturing companies, which was relatively under-researched, affects quality management activities and Business performance(Balanced Score Card; BSC).

기업의 윤리적 이슈는 사회 전체구성원들에게 주목을 받고 있으며 기업의 흥망성쇠에 직접적인 영향 을 준다고 볼 수 있다. 이제는 단순한 선언적 명제로서 윤리경영을 외치던 시대에서 벗어나 윤리경영이 실제적으로 지속적인 경쟁우위의 원천인 시대가 되고 있다. 따라서 윤리경영은 조직구성원에게 지대한 영향을 주며 기업 및 상사의 비윤리적‧비도덕적 행위에 의하여 조직구성원의 이직의도에 실질적인 영향 을 주는 상황에 놓이게 되었다. 그리고 기업에서의 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리적 리더십의 효과를 살펴보 는 데 있어 신뢰가 중요한 매개역할을 수행한다는 주장이 제기되고 있으므로 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리 적 리더십과 이직의도 간의 관계에서 신뢰의 매개역할을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 특히 본 연구는 대상에 따 른 신뢰 유형인 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰로 구분하여 매개역할을 살펴보면서 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리적 리 더십은 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰에 차별적 영향력이 있다고 보았다. 사회 교환 이론을 토대로 윤리경영 실행은 조직에서 실행하여 조직과 조직구성원 간의 상호 호혜적 교환관계를 형성하고 상사의 윤리적 리더십은 상사가 실행하여 상사와 부하직원 간의 상호 호혜적 교환관계를 형성하므로 윤리경영 실행은 조직신뢰에 더 많은 영향을 주고 상사의 윤리적 리더십은 상사신뢰에 더 많은 영향을 줄 수 있다고 보았다. 이를 실증 분석하기 위하여 550명의 조직구성원에게서 수집된 자료로 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리적 리더십과 이직 의도 간의 관계에서 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰의 매개효과를 살펴보면서 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리적 리더십 이 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰에 미치는 차별적 영향력을 검증하였다. 분석결과를 보면 윤리경영 실행은 조직신 뢰에 정적인 영향을 주지만 상사신뢰에 유의하지 않는 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 상사의 윤리적 리더십은 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰에 정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 매개효과 결과를 보면 윤리경영 실 행과 이직의도 간의 관계에서 조직신뢰는 유의한 매개효과가 있으나 상사신뢰는 매개효과가 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 상사의 윤리적 리더십과 이직의도 간의 관계에서 조직신뢰, 상사신뢰는 유 의한 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 차별적 영향력의 결과를 보면 윤리경영 실행은 상사신뢰보다 조 직신뢰에 더 많은 정적인 영향을 주고 상사의 윤리적 리더십은 조직신뢰보다 상사신뢰에 더 많은 정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 윤리경영 실행, 상사의 윤리적 리더십, 조직신 뢰, 상사신뢰가 이직의도에 미치는 경영학적인 의미와 시사점을 제시하였다.
