Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of leader humility on team reflexivity. This study also investigates the mediating role of relation-oriented shared leadership and the moderating role of leader trust. Design/methodology/approach This study collected data from the information technology (IT) service provider of a large telecommunications company in South Korea. A total of 311 employees (individual response rate of 31.2%) in 59 teams (team response rate of 83.01%) were included in the final analysis. Several hierarchical regression analyses and PROCESS macro were used. Findings The results indicate that leaders’ humble behaviour is positively associated with team reflexivity and facilitates relation-oriented shared leadership among team members, particularly when they have a higher level of affect-based trust in leaders. Practical implications This study may help researchers and practitioners better understand the conditions influencing the impact of leader humility on team members’ behaviour. Originality/value The main value of this study is to add to the knowledge on team reflexivity by identifying leader humility as a critical factor affecting team reflexivity. Furthermore, this study provides a deeper understanding of why leader humility influences team reflexivity.

领导者谦逊如何影响团队反思:团队层面分析

本研究旨在探讨领导者谦逊对团队反身性的影响。本研究还探讨了关系导向的共享领导的中介作用和领导者信任的调节作用。本研究收集了韩国一家大型电信公司的信息技术(IT)服务提供商的数据。最终分析纳入59个团队(团队回复率为83.01%)共311名员工(个人回复率为31.2%)。使用了几种层次回归分析和PROCESS宏。研究结果表明，领导者的谦逊行为与团队自反性呈正相关，并促进了团队成员之间以关系为导向的共享领导，特别是当他们对领导者具有较高的情感信任水平时。本研究有助于研究者和实践者更好地理解领导者谦逊对团队成员行为影响的影响条件。本研究的主要价值是通过确定领导者谦逊是影响团队反身性的关键因素，增加了对团队反身性的认识。此外，本研究对领导者谦逊影响团队反身性的原因提供了更深入的理解。
