基于信任和授权分析的领导自我损耗与下属自我损耗关系研究

The Relationship between Leader's Ego Depletion and Follower's Ego Depletion:Analysis Based on Trust and Participative Leadership

基于9家中央和地方国有企业领导和下属的调研数据,应用资源保存理论、工作要求-资源模型、社会认知理论和社会交换理论,分析了领导自我损耗、参与型领导行为、下属自我损耗之间的关系,并检验了参与型领导行为在领导自我损耗和下属自我损耗之间的中介作用,以及领导对特定下属的情感信任和认知信任对该中介机制的调节作用。研究结果表明,领导的自我损耗会增加参与型领导行为,进而加深下属自我损耗的程度;领导的自我损耗对参与型领导行为的影响受到领导对特定下属信任程度的调节,即领导对下属的情感信任程度对下属参与决策的影响起到正向调节作用,对下属的认知信任程度对参与型领导行为起负向调节作用。

Based on empowerment theory,social cognitive theory,and conservation of resources theory,this study explores the relationship between leaders＇ ego depletion and employees＇ ego depletion,and tests the mediation of participative leadership behavior and the moderation of supervisor trust perceived by employees（including both affective and cognitive trust）with the sample of 69 employees and 69 supervisors from 9 state-owned and central enterprises.The results reveal that leaders＇ ego depletion can promote participative leadership behavior,and then lead to more employees＇ ego depletion.Furthermore,trust in employees from leader moderates the relationship between leaders＇ ego depletion and participative leadership behavior.Specifically,leader＇s affective trust in employees positively moderates the relationship between leaders＇ ego depletion and participative leadership behavior while their cognitive trust negatively moderates this relationship.
