How and When Servant Leaders Enable Collective Thriving: The Role of Team–Member Exchange and Political Climate
研究基于80个团队520名员工的数据，发现仆人式领导通过提升团队-成员交换质量促进集体繁荣，而高度政治化的氛围会削弱这一正面效应。
Abstract Thriving teams are critical to the effective functioning of an organization. Extending Spreitzer et al .’s (2005) socially embedded model of thriving at work to the team level, this study explores how and when servant leadership promotes collective thriving. Through data collected from 80 teams composed of 520 employees, the study reveals that servant leaders help embed members in high‐quality team–member exchange relationships, which in turn enables their collective thriving. The authors find that a highly political climate is a dual‐stage moderator hindering the positive impact of servant leadership on collective thriving. The findings move forward extant servant leadership and thriving literature. The authors also offer practical implications for how organizations can nurture and reap benefits from thriving teams and the active role of employees in this process.
