组织中地位、地位赋予方式与员工创造性产出——来自国有企事业单位的实证研究

The Individual Status in Organizations, the Status- conferral Ways and Employee's Creative Outcomes:A Case Study Made from the State-owned Enterprises in China

基于正式与非正式地位分类,本研究探讨了员工在组织中的地位与其创造性产出之间的关系,并检验了地位赋予方式在二者间的调节作用。一项来自全国近60家国有企事业单位246份上下级配对样本的统计分析结果表明,员工在组织中的地位与其创造性产出关系紧密,其中正式地位与创造性产出呈U型关系,非正式地位正向影响员工创造性产出,另外地位赋予方式调节正式地位与员工创造性产出之间的关系,但对非正式地位与创造性产出不起调节作用。研究结果不仅呈示了组织中不同类型地位与员工创造性产出的不同关系,还揭示了地位弹性赋予方式的灰色面。最后,论文根据研究结果针对我国国有企事业单位提出了政策建议。

Based on the classification of formal and informal status, this paper explores the relationship between intra-organizational status and employee creative outcomes and the moderating role of status-conferral ways in organizations. A data analysis of 246 dyadic sample from nearly 60 state-owned enterprises shows that 1) there is a curvilinear or Ushape relationship between formal status in the organization and employee creative outcomes; 2) informal status in the organization is positively related to employee creative outcomes; 3) status-conferral way in organizations moderates the relationship between formal status and employee creative outcomes, but status-conferral way in organizations doesn't moderate the relationship between informal status and employee creative outcomes. These research findings will contrib-ute to the literatures by not only revealing the relationship between intra-organizational status and employee creative outcomes but also clarifying the incomplete understanding that scholars held to flexible status-conferral ways, which are helpful to organizations' institutional reform and creativity management due to their important practical implications.
