忠诚在中国具有悠久的历史渊源和独特的文化内涵,一直是管理学术界和实践界关注的热点话题。人们普遍认为,忠于组织对组织有益,忠于主管对组织有害。用实证研究发现,忠于主管在忠于组织与员工的组织公民行为和工作场所越轨行为之间起中介作用,即忠于主管在忠于组织与员工行为表现之间起着桥梁的作用,没有忠于主管的作用机制,忠于组织无法发挥应有的效应。对于组织而言,仅仅鼓励员工忠于组织而不忠于主管,无疑不利于组织的健康发展。
In China, loyalty is a virtue with long history and unique cultural connotation, so it has been a hot topic among the management academic circles and the practice circles. It is widely believed that loyalty to organization can benefit the organization while loyalty to supervisor would be harmful to the organization. Through empirical studies, this paper proves that loyalty to supervisor can play a role of intermediation between the organizational citizenship behavior which is loyal to organi- zation and employees and the workplace deviant behaviors, in other word, loyalty to supervisor can serve as a bridage between loyalty to organization and employees' behavior. Without the functional mechanism of loyalty to supervisor, loyalty to organization can not play its proper role. As for orga- nizations, it is obviously not beneficial to the healthy development of any organization if only encour- aging its employees to be loyal to the organization rather than loyal to the supervisor.
