Transformational Leadership and Job Behaviors: The Mediating Role of Core Job Characteristics
研究了变革型领导如何通过影响员工对核心工作特征的感知，进而提升任务绩效和组织公民行为，并发现领导-成员交换质量会增强这种关系。
Although the effects of transformational leadership on task performance and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) are well-documented, the mechanisms that explain those effects remain unclear. We propose that transformational leadership is associated with the way followers view their jobs, in terms of Hackman and Oldham's (1976) core job characteristics. Results of our study support a structural model whereby indirect effects supplement the direct effects of transformational leadership on task performance and OCB through the mechanisms of job characteristics, intrinsic motivation, and goal commitment. Additional analyses revealed that transformational leadership relationships were significantly stronger for followers who perceived high-quality leader-member exchange.
