工作场所心理特权的理论视角:回顾与前瞻

Theoretical Perspective of Psychological Privileges in the Workplace:Review and Prospect

心理特权是一种个体认为自己应得并有权获得更多优待的主观信念,这种信念对个体的态度和行为有着重要的影响。近年来,工作场所心理特权逐渐成为了组织管理研究者关注的一个热点,数十篇基于不同理论视角分析心理特权的文章接连发表在管理学和应用心理学国际知名学术期刊上。本文在明确心理特权的概念与测量的基础上,继而对认同理论视角、认知动机理论视角、公平理论视角、资源与自我调节视角以及其它理论视角下的工作场所心理特权研究进行了梳理和评述。未来研究应引入新的理论视角,探讨传统文化的权变效应和关注团队心理特权的形成机制。
