摘要: 当前主流的组织行为研究中,研究者倾向于仅仅关注自变量对因变量的积极或消极影响。然而,这种仅考察单方面效应的研究思路与复杂的管理现象不符,也不利于研究间的对话和整合。由此,同时考虑积极与消极结果的双刃剑效应研究开始出现并愈加受到关注。不过,在快速增加的双刃剑效应研究中,仍旧存在着内涵不清、机制模糊、应用不当等问题。为此,通过系统评述137篇组织行为领域中双刃剑效应的中英文文献,本研究明确厘定了双刃剑效应的内涵,梳理了双刃剑效应研究的动因,将双刃剑效应的研究模式概括为三个主要类型(直接效应、间接效应和调节效应)和六个具体类型,总结了探讨双刃剑效应时可采用的理论基础。在文献述评的基础上,本研究提出了一组针对未来双刃剑效应研究的策略建议。本研究将有助于学者们明确双刃剑效应的潜在贡献和前沿趋势,启发学者们在未来更为合理地开展更具理论价值的双刃剑效应研究。

Abstract: Mainstream organizational scholars tend to look at either the positive or negative influence of independent variables on dependent variables. However, this simple approach contrasts with the complicated phenomena in management practices. It is also less conducive to the meaningful integration of different studies. As a result, research on the double-edged sword effect has emerged in recent years. Though there are increasing studies examining the double-edged sword effect, it is worth noting that the interpretation of the effect remains unclear, the underlying mechanism is ambiguous, and the corresponding research pattern is often inappropriately used. By systematically analyzing 137 organizational behavior studies demonstrating the double-edged sword effect in both Chinese and English, this study clarifies the nature of the double-edged sword effect, identifies two major motives for conducting research on the topic, and classifies the existing research pattern into three main types (direct effect, indirect effect and moderating effect) and six sub-types. This study also offers five explanations of the potential theoretical basis for research on the double-edged sword effect. Finally, we offer practical suggestions for future researches. The present study is expected to demonstrate the potential contribution of researches on the double-edged sword effect, and to inspire more valuable future studies.
