基于知识激活理论和皮格马利翁效应,探讨了内隐追随(1ETs)对员工创新行为的影响,结果发现:IFTs和员工创新行为之间存在显著正相关,领导支持部分中介了二者之间的关系;领导者的内部动机调节了IFTs和领导支持之间的关系,内部动机越弱时二者关系越强:领导者的内部动机调节了领导支持的中介效应,当内部动机低时,领导支持在IFTs和追随者创新行为之间的中介作用更强,当内部动机高时,领导支持的中介作用更弱。这些发现拓展了对IFTs作用后果的理解,并从一个新的视角探索了追随者创新行为的成因,具有一定的理论和实践意义。
Based on knowledge active theory and Pygmalion effect, this study discussed the impact of implicit followership theories (IFTs) on employees' innovation behavior. The result showed that: there was a significant positive correlation between IFTs and employees' innovative behavior, and supervisor support partially mediated the relationship between the two; intrinsic motivation of moderated the relationship between the IFTs and supervisor support (when the intrinsic motivation is weaker, the correlation between IFTs and supervisor support is stronger). In addition, intrinsic motivation moderated the intermediary effect of the supervisor support, when the intrinsic motivation is weaker, the mediating effect of the supervisory support is stronger, on the contrary, when intrinsic motivation is stronger, the mediating effect is weaker. These discoveries expand the knowledge of outcomes of IFTs, and also contribute to leading up a new perspective to explore the antecedents of employees' innovative behavior.
