工作投入如何影响员工建言:认知灵活性和权力动机的作用

The Mechanism of Job Engagement on Voice Behavior:The Moderating Effects of Cognitive Flexibility and Power Motive

员工建言日益成为组织创新和变革的推动力,在学术界它也引起了广泛关注。以往研究多从社会交换的视角来探索建言的发生机制,而从社会认知的视角的研究则较为缺乏,本研究将弥补该不足。采用问卷调查法,从苏南地区企业单位选取368份有效配对样本,研究探索了员工的工作投入对其建言行为的影响机制,及认知灵活性和权力动机的调节作用。结果表明,工作投入对建言行为具有显著的正向影响,建言效能感在其中起着中介作用;认知灵活性正向调节工作投入与建言效能感之间的关系,权力动机负向调节建言效能感对工作投入和建言行为的中介作用。文章最后讨论了研究存在的局限,并对建言行为的未来研究做了展望。
