工作不安全感对员工创造力的积极影响:基于压力学习效应的视角

Work Insecurity Can Improve Employee Creativity: A Perspective from Learning under Occupational Stressors

雇佣环境的不确定性导致员工的工作不安全感问题日益凸显。已有文献局限于研究工作不安全感的消极影响,对工作不安全感积极影响的研究不够深入,即较少关注员工对工作不安全感的积极反应。因此,本文基于压力学习效应的视角,探究工作不安全感对员工创造力的积极影响,以及现场非正式学习和组织创新氛围感知在其中的作用。通过对323份问卷数据进行回归分析发现:工作不安全感能促进员工的现场非正式学习,现场非正式学习在工作不安全感与员工创造力之间起中介作用,组织创新氛围感知调节现场非正式学习在工作不安全感与员工创造力之间的中介效应。研究结果挖掘了工作不安全感的积极面,为企业与员工正确认识与面对工作不安全感提供理论支持与实践指导。

Uncertainty in the employment environment leads to the increasing job insecurity. The existing literature focuses on the negative impact of job insecurity. However, little is known about the positive impact of job insecurity. That is, researchers pay less attention to employees’ positive behaviors in response to job insecurity. Based on the theory of learning under occupational stressors, this paper examines the positive relationship between job insecurity and employee creativity, and the role of informal field-based learning and perceived organizational innovation atmosphere in this process. Results of hierarchical regression analysis with a sample of 323 employees show that: job insecurity has a significant positive impact on the informal field-based learning;informal field-based learning plays a mediating role between job insecurity and employee creativity;perceived organizational innovation atmosphere positively moderates the indirect effect of job insecurity on employee creativity via informal field-based learning. The results of this study reveal the positive effect of job insecurity, and provide significant theoretical support and practical guidance for companies and employees to correctly understand and deal with job insecurity.
