基于基本需求满足视角的道德型领导作用机制研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在道德型领导影响效应研究领域，社会学习和社会交换这两个视角虽然研究逻辑并不相同，但二者却存在大量相似、重叠的研究发现。本研究基于自我决定理论指出，这两个视角之间存在一种共同的、更为基础的解释逻辑，即基本心理需求满足。基于272组上司-下属配对数据的分析结果表明：上司表现出越多的道德型领导行为，下属的基本需求满足程度越高，进而提升他们的任务绩效以及引发更多积极主动性行为和创新行为。同时，道德型领导通过提升下属的基本需求满足程度，能够促进下属的道德学习和社会交换程度。本研究有助于深化对道德型领导的本质认识，提升道德型领导研究领域在理论解释上的一致性，对促进道德型领导的理论发展和指导企业的管理实践具有重要价值。

Abstract: Researches on the effect of ethical leadership from the social learning perspective and the social exchange perspective often lead to similar or identical findings though the two perspectives have different research logics. Based on self-determination theory, this study proposes a more fundamental explanatory mechanism between the two perspectives, namely, needs satisfaction. Our analysis based on 272 dyads of supervisor-subordinate data shows that the more ethically leaders behave, the better their subordinates’ basic needs are satisfied, and such satisfaction will translate to better task performance and more proactive and creative behaviors. Meanwhile, by improving subordinates’ needs satisfaction in this way, ethical leaders can also stimulate their subordinates ’ ethical learning and social exchange. Clarifying the essence of ethical leadership, our findings not only enhance the consistency of theoretical explanations in the field of ethical leadership but also broaden the theoretical development of ethical leadership and provide guidance for enterprises to manage their businesses.

Key words: ethical leadership, task performance, proactive behavior, creative behavior, self-determination theory
