职场负面八卦对员工创新绩效的影响——基于资源保存理论视角

The Impact of Negative Workplace Gossip on the Employees’ Innovation Performance—Based on the Perspective of Resource Preservation Theory

职场负面八卦作为一种职场现象,目前在职场中广泛存在,在逐渐受到学者们关注的同时,更需要管理者的正确干预。基于资源保存理论视角,本研究探讨职场负面八卦对员工创新绩效的影响并验证了员工沉默行为的中介作用以及变革型领导在职场负面八卦对员工沉默行为影响中的调节作用。通过对262名企业员工的问卷调查,回归分析结果表明:职场负面八卦与员工创新绩效显著负相关;员工沉默行为在职场负面八卦与员工创新绩效之间起部分中介作用;变革型领导在职场负面八卦对员工沉默行为的影响中起到负向调节作用,即变革型领导越强,职场负面八卦对员工沉默行为的影响越弱。

Negative workplace gossip is currently widespread in the workplace as a phenomenon. While gradually attracting attention from the scholars, it also requires the correct intervention of man-agers. Based on the theory of resource conservation, this study explores the impact of negative workplace gossip on the employees’ innovation performance and verifies the mediating role of the employees’ silence behavior and the moderating role of transformational leadership. Through a questionnaire survey of 262 employees, regression analysis results show that negative workplace gossip is significantly negatively correlated with the employees’ innovation performance;the employees’ silence behavior plays a part of the mediating role between negative workplace gossip and the employees’ innovation performance;transformational leadership plays a negative regulatory role in the impact of negative workplace gossip on the employees’ silence behavior, which means if the transformational leader is stronger, negative workplace gossip has weaker influence on the employees’ silence behavior.
