One of the organizational characteristics in the modern society is the
emphasis placed upon individual autonomy in an effort to promote and develop
each member's morale as well as the efficiency in personnel management.
Therefore, it can be understood that the importance of "Self"is recognized in
work places and the leadership of supervisors and each member's
self-management and control are also emphasized, leading to establishment
of the "Self-leadership" concept.
In this study, the effect of the Transformational Leadership of the
supervisors on the subordinates' Self-leadership was analyzed and the causal
factor of organizational support in the relationship between Transformational
Leadership and Self-leadership was defined. A survey was conducted with 182
security officials at the National Assembly and the following results were
obtained. First, Transformational Leadership had a positive effect on
Self-leadership and the Transformational Leadership of the supervisors had
a statistically significant impact on the organizational support awareness.
Furthermore, organizational support showed a statistically significant mediator
effect in the relationship between the Transformational Leadership of the
supervisors and the Self-leadership of the subordinates. Finally, future
directions in regard to the personnel management system were suggested.
