Effects of leadership consideration and structure on employee perceptions of justice and counterproductive work behavior
通过两项多源数据研究,发现领导关怀和结构对分配、程序、信息、人际四个维度的公平感有不同影响,且两者交互影响员工反生产行为,其中高结构低关怀的领导风格下反生产行为最高,结构的影响呈U形曲线。
Summary In this paper, we examine the effects of leadership consideration and structure on two important organizational behavior outcomes: employee perceptions of organizational justice and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). We examine these effects across two studies using multisource data (employees and supervisors in Study 1; employees and coworkers in Study 2). Results reveal that consideration and structure have distinct effects across distributive, procedural, informational, and interpersonal dimensions of justice. Moreover, results suggest that consideration and structure have multiplicative effects on employee CWB. We find the highest levels of CWB among employees of supervisors who exhibit high structure and low consideration. Interestingly, results also suggest that the effects of structure on CWB may be curvilinear (u‐shaped) such that moderate levels of structure are associated with the lowest levels of CWB. We discuss implications for future consideration and structure research as well as managerial practice. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
