领导幽默对员工组织公民行为的影响研究——一个有调节的中介效应模型

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 基于社会认知理论,考察了领导幽默对员工组织公民行为的影响机制及边界条件,同时对238名知识型员工及61名部门领导的配对数据进行分析。研究发现:领导亲和型幽默正向影响员工组织公民行为,领导攻击型幽默负向影响员工组织公民行为,员工心理授权在上述关系中发挥部分中介作用;员工幽默应对感调节了领导幽默通过员工心理授权影响其组织公民行为的中介作用。上述研究结果对领导者管理方式及企业人力资源管理实践具有潜在指导意义和应用价值。

Abstract: Based on the social cognition theory, this study investigates the relationship between two important leader humor styles (affiliative humor and aggressive humor) and organizational citizenship behavior by focusing on the mediating role of psychological empowerment. Data are collected from 238 knowledge workers and 61 department leaders within several companies. Results show that: (1) Leader affiliative humor is positively related to employees’ psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior, leader aggressive humor is negatively related to employees’ psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior; (2) Employees’ psychological empowerment partially mediates the relationship between leader affiliative humor / leader aggressive humor and organizational citizenship behavior; (3) The sense of coping humor of employees moderates the mediating effect of leader humor on organizational citizenship behavior through employee psychological empowerment. The above research results have potential guiding significance and application value for leader management and enterprise human resource management practice.

Key words: affiliative humor, aggressive humor, psychological empowerment, organization citizenship behavior, sense of coping humor
