다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to emphasize the significant role of leadership transition patterns in influencing employees' learning and job-related changes by categorizing the perceived levels of leadership among top management and mid-managers as well as examining the leadership transition patterns as recognized by employees in institute science and technology. Using data from the 2023 KIRD survey of human resource development in science and technology, we conducted a latent profile analysis from 1,238 employees who recognized leadership at two or more levels. First, we identified the four types of leadership transition profiles: (1) High-level leadership positive transition, (2) Mid-level leadership maintenance transition, (3) Mid-level leadership negative transition, and (4) low-level leadership negative transition. Our findings indicate that higher levels of leadership transition positively reinforce perceptions of mid-level leadership. Second, each leadership transition profile was significantly classified according to organizational culture, learning climate, and internal social networks. Third, employees in the high-level leadership transition profile demonstrated significantly higher psychological safety, work engagement, knowledge sharing, and career satisfaction than other profiles. Therefore, we identified leadership transition as a driving motivator for changes in employee attitudes and behaviors. Based on these results, we derive practical insights, including leadership positioning strategies and leadership-followership linkage training programs to enhance leadership transition, and provide suggestions for future research directions.
