通过227名中国企业中高层领导者样本,基于心理类型论和管理认知过滤机制理论,分析了领导者信息获取偏好通过变革型领导对领导有效性产生影响的内在作用机制,即领导行为的中介效应;同时,基于素质激活理论,揭示了状态不确定性对上述间接作用机制的有调节的中介效应。研究表明:变革型领导部分中介了领导者信息获取偏好对领导有效性的作用;状态不确定性对上述中介关系起到调节效应。此外,对研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了探讨,并指出了未来的研究方向。
Leaders' preferences on gathering information become an important factor to predict leadership effectiveness under uncertain environment. Using 227 leaders samples from 43 companies of 8 provinces in China, this study empirically examines the mediated effect of leadership behavior transformational leadership behavior in linking leaders' preferences of gathering information with leadership effectiveness drawing on Jung's psychological typology and the managerial cognition and psycho- logical filtering mechanisms. Further, the study examines the moderated mediation roles of state un- certainty in influencing the mediation based on trait activation theory. The result shows that (1) transformational leadership partially mediates the effect of S-N on leaders' performance; (2) State uncertainty moderates the mediation of transformational leadership on S-N and leaders' performance. Finally, the theoretical contributions, practical implications and future directions are discussed.
