领导方式与抑制性进言的关系:以改善绩效为目标的情境

Relationship Between Leadership Style and Prohibitive Voice:Under Contexts of Performance Improving

抑制性进言是下级向上级提出的不同意见,影响进言意愿的前因变量很多。基于领导理论,通过实证方法考察了三种领导方式对抑制性进言意愿的影响效应。首先发现抑制性进言意愿确实对企业绩效有正向影响,更多反面或修正意见可提高前期决策的科学性。还发现交易型和变革型领导方式均有利于鼓励下属提出抑制性进言,且前者的鼓励作用更大;而倡导威权领导的家长式领导方式则不利于员工提出抑制性进言。结论说明,抑制性进言的缺失将产生虚假繁荣,最终企业绩效的下降将波及个人利益。因此,理性的领导者应放弃"注重形式、表面和谐"的领导逻辑,转而构建"以管理制度为主,以人际关系为辅"的领导模式。理性下属也应在形式尊重的前提下,持续性地提出进言,最终绩效改善的铁证将正反馈式地促进交易型或变革型领导方式的塑造。

Prohibitive voice is the different view proposed from subordinates to superiors. There are many antecedent variables to influence prohibitive voice. Based on leadership theory,the influence of three leadership styles on the willingness of prohibitive voice is empirically examined. Firstly,prohibitive voice will indeed have a positive impact on business performance. More negative or modified opinions can improve the pre-scientific decision-making. It is also found that transactional and transformational leadership styles are conducive to encouraging subordinates to make prohibitive voice,and the effect of the former is larger. However,the paternalistic leadership style is not conducive to encouraging subordinates to make prohibitive voice. Conclusion shows that the lack of prohibitive voice will bring a fake prosperity,and the decline in business performance will ultimately affect individual＇s interests. Therefore,rational leaders should abandon the leadership logic of ＂focus on formality,surface harmony＂,and should construct the leadership model of ＂management system comes first,supplemented by interpersonal relationship＂. Rational subordinates should also respect the superiors,and continue to make the prohibitive voice. In this way,performance improvement will be the positive feedback to promote transactional and transformational leadership styles.
