摘要: 如何有效地激发员工工作积极性一直是管理者和研究者关注的话题。本文从领导辅导切入,考察员工工作投入的影响因素和诱发机制。本文采用经验取样法收集了72名研发人员连续10个工作日的动态数据,基于自我决定理论探讨了领导辅导对下属工作投入的影响过程及边界条件。实证分析结果表明:领导辅导对下属工作意义感有显著积极影响;工作意义感在领导辅导与工作投入间起中介作用;下属的成就动机不仅能正向调节领导辅导对下属工作意义感的正向影响,还能正向调节工作意义感在领导辅导与下属工作投入关系间的中介作用。

关键词: 领导辅导, 工作投入, 工作意义感, 成就动机

Abstract: Scholars and practitioners have devoted substantial efforts to understanding how to effectively motivate employees. Based on the self-determination theory, this study collects the dynamic data of 72 R&D personnel for 10 consecutive working days by using the experience sampling method and explores the process and boundary conditions of the influence of mentoring on subordinates' work engagement. The empirical analysis results show that:mentoring has a significant positive impact on subordinates' sense of work meaningfulness. Besides, work meaningfulness mediates the relationship between mentoring and work engagement. In addition, the achievement motivation of employees not only positively moderates the positive effect of mentoring on subordinates' work meaningfulness, but also positively moderates the mediating effect of work meaningfulness on the relationship between mentoring and subordinates' work engagement. Our research is important theoreticallybecause it enriches and extends the current work engagement literature. Specifically, (1) taking a specific rather than general leadership behavior perspective, this study explores the positive influence of mentoring on work engagement, as well as the underlying mechanism, which can help to understand the antecedents of this organizational phenomenon more comprehensively; (2) by revealing the boundary conditions, this study helps to understand how to maximize the positive effect of mentoring on work engagement. Implications for research and practice are provided.

Key words: mentoring, work engagement, work meaningfulness, achievement motivation
