Leader Integrity and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour in China
基于内隐领导理论,研究了中国情境下领导者正直这一传统美德如何通过领导效能影响下属的组织公民行为,并发现下属的传统性调节了这一中介过程。
Abstract In this study, we use implicit leadership theory to investigate how leader integrity, one of the most important traditional Chinese virtues, influences subordinates’ organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the Chinese context. The results of our survey reveal that leader integrity is associated with subordinates’ OCB, and that this relationship is fully mediated by leader effectiveness. In addition, traditionality moderated the relationship between leader integrity and leader effectiveness; the relationship was significant among less traditional subordinates, but insignificant among more traditional subordinates. We conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications for leaders in China.
