在情绪、“面子”、“关系”等理论框架的基础上,将面子压力、差序式关系作为中国本土化的情境因素引入领导者负面情绪与下属合作的研究中。以128名知识型员工为研究被试,借助现场实验考察了领导者负面情绪影响下属合作的作用机制。结果表明:领导者负面情绪与下属合作显著正相关;下属“怕掉面子”压力对领导者负面情绪与下属合作之间的关系具有部分中介作用;相对于“外人”下属而言,“自己人”下属在领导者生气时感受到的面子压力更大,他们更倾向于提高合作程度。
Based on the emotion,face and guanxi (relationship) theory, face stress and differential guanxi as situational factors of China are introduced into the study of the relationship between leader's negative emotion and subordinate cooperation. This field experiment involved 128 knowledge employees, tested the impact of leader's negative emotion on subordinate cooperative. The results show that leader's negative emotion and subordinate cooperation are significantly and positively correlated. The fear of losing face stress has partial mediating effect on the relationship between leader's negative emotion and subordinate cooperation. When the leader gets angry,"insiders" experienced more face stress, and they are more likely to cooperate than "outsiders".
