谦逊领导对员工助人行为的影响机制研究

A Study of the Impact of Humble Leadership on Employees’Helping Behavior

近年来,谦逊领导对员工工作行为和态度的影响受到广泛关注。作为更重视员工意见和关注员工发展的领导风格,谦逊领导或许能促进员工表现出更多亲社会性的助人行为。基于社会交换理论,通过对257份多时点数据进行分析,检验了信任领导在谦逊领导和员工助人行为之间的中介关系以及组织支持感知的调节作用。结果表明,信任领导在谦逊领导与员工助人行为之间起中介作用;员工的组织支持感知正向调节员工信任领导对员工助人行为的影响;同时,员工组织支持感知还正向调节了谦逊领导通过信任领导影响员工主动助人行为的间接机制;但对信任领导在谦逊领导与员工被动助人行为之间间接效应的调节作用不显著。通过研究谦逊领导与员工助人行为之间的关系,有助于深化对于谦逊领导作用机制的探讨,并为激发员工更多的助人行为提供借鉴。

In recent years,the impact of humble leadership on employees’work behaviors and attitudes has received much attention.As a leadership that pays more attention to employees’opinions and development,humble leadership may promote employees to exhibit more pro-social helping behaviors.Based on the social exchange theory,this paper makes an analysis of 257 pieces of multi-time point data and examines the mediating effect of trust in supervisors between humble leadership and employees’helping behavior and the moderating effect of perceived organizational support.The results suggest that trust in supervisor can play a mediating role between the humble leadership and employee’s helping behavior.And employees’perceived organizational support can moderate the impacts of employees’trust in supervisor on employees’helping behavior in a positive way.Meanwhile,employees’perceived organizational support can also positively moderate the indirect effect of humble leadership on employees’helping behavior through trust in supervisors;whereas the moderating effect of trust in supervisors in the indirect effect of humble leadership on employees’passive helping behaviors is not significantly.The study of the relationship between humble leadership and employees’helping behavior can help to deepen the discussion of mechanism of humble leadership and offer implications on how to motivate employees’helping behavior.
