Revisiting How and When Perceived Organizational Support Enhances Taking Charge
研究发现感知组织支持与员工建言行为呈倒U型关系，且当员工预期建言成本较高时，这种曲线关系更明显，提醒管理者需把握支持的最佳水平。
Current theory and research suggest a positive linear relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and employees’ taking charge, or change-suggesting, behaviors. Via a sample of 89 subordinate-supervisor dyads, we hypothesize and test an inverted U-shaped relationship between employees’ POS and their taking charge behaviors and the likelihood that this curvilinear pattern is accentuated when employees anticipate costs related to their taking charge. Results support both of these patterns. We conclude by discussing our findings’ implications regarding future needed sensitivity on the part of managers as well as management scholars regarding how to gauge optimal levels of POS.
