任务结构情境对领导者职业兴趣与领导有效性关系的作用研究

The Study of the Moderating Effects of Task Structure on the Relationship between Leaders' Vocational Interest and Leadership Performance

根据职业兴趣理论与基于情境的领导素质理论,以领导者职业兴趣为自变量,任务结构情境因素为调节变量,领导绩效为因变量,采用多元层次回归的统计方法,考察任务结构情景对中层领导者职业兴趣和领导绩效关系的调节作用。研究结果表明,任务结构对艺术取向、经营取向和研究取向与领导绩效之间的关系有显著的调节作用。在任务结构高的情况下,组织应该优先选拔具有艺术取向或经营取向的个体担任领导者岗位;在任务结构低的情况下,组织应该优先选拔具有研究取向的个体担任领导者岗位。研究表明结合情境因素能更好地解释领导者素质对领导有效性的作用,同时也对领导选拔与实践提出指导建议。
