创业型领导对工作繁荣的影响机制研究——一个被调节的中介模型

A study of the influence mechanism of entrepreneurial leadership on job prosperity:A moderated mediation model

创业型领导有效赋能初创企业是组织领域的前沿问题之一,在不确定环境中建立竞争优势,对初创企业创业成功至关重要,同时也能激发员工活力并促进员工学习,从而提升工作繁荣。然而,创业型领导对于工作繁荣影响机制的黑箱还有待揭示。研究基于社会嵌入理论,采用215份员工问卷数据,探究创业型领导对工作繁荣的内在影响机制。研究发现:①创业型领导可以显著积极影响工作繁荣;②关系能量在创业型领导和工作繁荣的关系中起到中介作用;③领导−员工权力距离在创业型领导和关系能量的关系中具有调节作用,当领导−员工权力距离越低时,创业型领导对关系能量的影响越强;④领导−员工权力距离负向调节了创业型领导通过关系能量对工作繁荣的间接作用。研究填补了创业型领导影响工作繁荣的内在机制的理论空白,相关结论对于企业提升员工工作繁荣,提高组织绩效具有重要的参考价值。

Entrepreneurial leadership,which effectively empowers startups,is one of the frontier issues in organizations.Building competitive advantage in an uncertain environment is critical to startup entrepreneurial success.It is also conducive to energizing employees and promoting employee learning,thus enhancing work prosperity.However,the black box of the mechanism of entrepreneurial leadership's influence on work prosperity is yet to be revealed.Therefore,based on social embeddedness theory,this study investigates the intrinsic influence mechanism of entrepreneurial leadership on work prosperity.Based on data from 215 employee questionnaires,this study finds that:(1)entrepreneurial leadership can significantly and positively influence work prosperity.(2)Relational energy plays a mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and work prosperity;(3)Leader-employee power distance moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and relational energy.The lower the leader-employee power distance,the stronger entrepreneurial leadership's influence on relational energy is.(4)Leader-employee power distance negatively moderates the indirect effect of entrepreneurial leadership on job prosperity through relational energy.This study fills the theoretical gap of the intrinsic influence mechanism of entrepreneurial leadership on work prosperity.The findings provide important implications for enterprises to enhance employees'work prosperity and improve organizational performance.
