资源保存视角下高绩效人力资源系统对员工突破式创造力的双刃剑效应

The Double-edged Sword Effect of High Performance Work System on Employees’Radical Creativity Based on the Resource Conservation Perspective

高绩效人力资源系统能否促进创新是目前的研究热点,但却未获一致研究结论。根据资源保存理论,高绩效人力资源系统可能同时会激发员工进行资源投资和资源保护,形成不同的目标导向,进而对员工的突破式创造力产生差异性影响。此外,团队领导作为组织的代理人,团队层面领导方式是高绩效人力资源系统资源产生作用的重要条件。故本研究以目标导向为机制,分别探讨了高绩效人力资源系统对员工突破式创造力的学习目标导向和绩效目标导向两条不同的影响路径,并考察团队层面变革型领导和交易型领导对高绩效人力资源系统与员工突破式创造力关系的跨层次调节作用。实证结果表明:高绩效人力资源系统对员工突破式创造力具有“双刃剑”效应,团队层面变革型领导正向调节高绩效人力资源系统与突破式创造力的关系。团队层面交易型领导负向调节高绩效人力资源系统与员工突破式创造力的关系。研究结果不仅进一步拓展了高绩效人力资源系统对员工创造力的影响研究,而且揭示了高绩效人力资源系统对员工突破式创造力的影响机制和边界条件。

The question whether HPWS can generate innovation is a hot topic,but no widely accepted conclusion has been reached so far in this regard.According to resource conservation theory,HPWS may lead employees to invest in resources and protect resources to form different goal orientations,which will further have different impact on employees’radical creativity.Furthermore,team leaders as agents of organization is an important condition for the performance of HPWS.This study examines the multilevel moderating effect of transformational and transactional leadership on the relationship between HPWS and radical creativity through indirect effect of employees’goal orientation.Based on a survey data of 285 employees,the research shows that the HPWS has a double-edged sword effect on employees’radical creativity.Transformational leadership at the team level positively moderates the indirect effect of HPWS on radical creativity through learning goal orientation.Team level transactional leadership negatively moderates the indirect effect of HPWS on radical creativity through performance goal orientation.It indicates that HPWS has a double-edged sword effect on employees’radical creativity.The research contributes to extending the theory of whether and how HPWS has influence on employee creativity.
