社会网络对跨界员工创造力的作用研究

The Impact of Social Network on Boundary-spanning Employee Creativity

基于社会网络的视角,将跨界员工所处的工作网络划分为业务网络和领导力网络两个情境,构建了员工的跨界效能和工作网络特征(业务网络中心度、业务网络密度、领导力网络密度)对员工创造力影响的理论模型。通过对43个工作团队的205名员工发放调查问卷,采用分层回归的方法进行实证分析。研究结果表明:1员工的跨界效能直接激发创造力的产生;2业务网络的中心度和密度积极促进员工跨界效能作用的实施;3领导力网络的密度会削弱业务网络的调节作用。

Based on social network perspective,the job networks in which boundary-spanning employees are embedded are divided into business networks and leadership networks.The influence of boundary-spanning efficacy and job network characteristics(business network centrality and density,shared leadership)on employee creativity are both explored.Using the data from 205 employees among 43 working teams and the multilevel regression approach,the results indicate that,1 boundary-spanning self-efficacy positively predicts employee creativity;2 the degree centrality and density of business networks positively moderate the effects of boundaryspanning self-efficacy on creativity;and 3 the positive creativity effect of business networks is crowded out when the high density of leadership networks is provided.
