Use of Political Skills by Leaders to Establish Successful Organizational Change
研究领导者政治技能在组织变革中对员工承诺和工作模糊性的影响,发现人际影响和网络能力始终有益,而社会敏锐度过高可能适得其反,尤其当领导者与员工互动时间有限时。
This study examines how leaders' political skills affect employee commitment and job ambiguity during organizational change, particularly when leader-employee interaction time is limited. We found that interpersonal influence and networking ability consistently benefit employees, regardless of how often leaders interact with them. Apparent sincerity is effective when leaders maintain regular contact, while high levels of social astuteness can backfire, causing more job ambiguity and less commitment. The research underscores the importance of these political skills in supporting employees and ensuring successful organizational change, even when leaders have limited interaction time with their employees.
