强化关系还是提升自我?领导者自我牺牲影响员工主动担责的双路径机制研究

Strengthening Relationship or Enhancing Yourself?The Dual-path Mechanism of How Leaders’ Self-sacrifice Influences Employees’ Taking Responsibility

本研究基于社会交换理论和自我概念理论,探讨领导者自我牺牲对员工主动担责行为的影响机制,并对两种机制的作用效力进行了比较。通过分析339份三时点问卷样本数据,结果表明,领导者自我牺牲对员工主动担责行为有正向影响;组织自尊在二者之间的中介作用显著,信任领导的中介作用不显著,两种机制存在显著差异。本研究结果有助于深化对领导者自我牺牲行为的作用机制和员工主动担责行为的驱动机制的认识,进一步理解社会交换理论和自我概念理论在领导者自我牺牲和员工主动担责行为之间关系上的作用差异,并推动对于领导者自我牺牲研究的理论整合。

Based on the social exchange theory and self-concept theory,this study explores the mechanism of how leaders’self-sacrifice behavior influences employees’taking responsibility and compares the strength of two mechanisms.By analyzing a three-wave survey sample of 339 employees,the results suggest that leader’s self-sacrifice is positively related to employees’taking responsibility.The dual-path model indicates a significant indirect effect of organizational-based self-esteem between leaders’self-sacrifice behavior and employees’taking responsibility,whereas the mediating role of trust in supervisor is not significant.The current research thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the influence mechanism of leader’s self-sacrifice behavior and the driving mechanism of employees’taking responsibility,and demonstrates the different role of social exchange theory and self-concept theory in the relationship between the leader’s self-sacrifice and the employees’taking responsibility.Finally,this study is likely to facilitate the theoretical integration of leader self-sacrifice researches.
