Why and when family‐supportive supervisor behaviours influence newcomer organizational socialisation
基于社会信息加工视角,研究家庭支持型主管行为如何通过促进新员工主动行为来影响其组织社会化,并发现新员工性别和家庭动机调节这一过程。
Abstract This study examines why and when family‐supportive supervisor behaviour (FSSB) influences newcomer organizational socialisation. Specifically, we draw from the social information processing perspective to suggest that FSSB promotes newcomer proactive behaviours and organizational socialisation. We argue that newcomer gender and family motivation moderate the positive effect of FSSB on newcomer proactive behaviours and propose a moderated mediation model and hypothesise that the indirect effect of FSSB on newcomer organizational socialisation via newcomer proactive behaviours is contingent on newcomer gender and family motivation. A time‐lagged study of 202 newcomer–supervisor dyads supports all our hypotheses. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our results.
