以往的研究指出员工的权力感是预测其建言行为的重要因素,但是对权力感一建言行为关系之间的作用机制缺乏深入分析。采用在2个时间点收集的372个下属和78个领导的配对样本,探讨了员工权力感对建言行为的影响,并应用自我验证理论(self-verification theory)对此关系做出了解释。研究结果表明:员工的权力感对建言行为有显著的正向影响;员工组织自尊中介了员工权力感对建言行为的影响;主动性人格不仅调节了员工权力感和建言行为之间的关系,还调节了员工权力感通过组织自尊影响建言行为的间接效应,表现为被调节的中介关系。
Previous studies have found the positive relationship between employees' sense of power and voice behaviors but haven't explained the mechanism clearly. Using a two-wave research design, we collected data from a sample of 372 subordinates matched with 78 leaders to examine the hypothesized relationship. The results show that employees' sense of power is positively related to voice behavior; organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) mediates that relationship; proactive personality moderates the effect of sense of power on OBSE as well as the indirect effect of sense of power on voice behavior through OBSE.
