家长式领导普遍存在于中国文化下的各种组织中。在当今服务型经济和我国创建服务型社会的时代背景下,为了更好地发挥家长式领导的效能,需要考虑服务型的领导行为。通过包含管理者他评工作绩效的问卷调查,共收集到817份有效问卷,层次回归分析结果显示:家长式领导行为能显著提高员工的工作绩效,而服务型领导行为能显著提高员工的工作满意度;在高水平服务型领导行为的调节作用下,家长式领导对工作绩效和工作满意度的积极影响更强。这表明,在当今中国情境下,家长式领导行为融入人性化的服务型领导行为,能够同时带来高绩效和高满意度,实现最佳的领导效能。最后,讨论了研究的局限与启示,并指出未来可能的研究方向。
Nowadays, paternalistic leadership is prevalent in organizations and teams under Chinese culture and even around the world. However, only few empirical studies explored the integration of the two types of leadership behaviors and their influence on employees’ work performance and job satisfaction. In the contemporary society, in order to improve the effectiveness of paternalistic leadership, this paper studies the influence of paternalistic leadership on employees’ work performance and job satisfaction through the moderation of servant leadership behaviors. One thousand and thirty employees from enterprises in several cities of China answered the questionnaires and we conducted Hierarchical regression analysis based on the 817 valid questionnaires data. The results of the regression analysis showed that: Paternalistic leadership has a more significant positive effect on work performance; while servant leadership has a more significant positive effect on work satisfaction. Servant leadership is the moderator on the relationship between paternalistic leadership and work performance, and between paternalistic leadership and job satisfaction. Under high levels of servant leadership, paternalistic leadership influence work performance and work satisfaction more significantly.
