Abstract

Bullying is an adverse workplace phenomenon that requires serious attention by leaders and managers. Drawing upon Social Identity Theory, Optimal Distinctiveness Theory, and Victim Precipitation Theory, this study investigates how inclusive leadership is associated with workplace bullying (WB). It also examines the mediating role of psychological safety and self-esteem as serial mediators in this relationship. Additionally, the moderating role of embeddedness on the link between inclusive leadership and WB is explored. The study used a two-wave time-lagged survey completed by 226 full-time employees. The survey captured employees’ perceptions about themselves, their work environment, and their line managers. Study hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling. Study findings revealed that inclusive leadership is negatively related to WB. We also found support for the serial mediation of psychological safety and self-esteem in the link between inclusive leadership and WB. Our study also demonstrates that the negative relationship between inclusive leadership and WB is weaker for employees with high embeddedness, thereby uncovering the less explored dark side of embeddedness.
包容性领导与职场欺凌:心理安全、自尊和嵌入性的模型
欺凌是一种不利的职场现象,需要领导和管理者认真关注。利用社会认同理论、最优独特性理论和受害者沉淀理论,本研究探讨了包容性领导与职场欺凌(WB)的关系。研究还考察了心理安全和自尊在这一关系中的中介作用。此外,本文还探讨了嵌入性对包容性领导与WB之间关系的调节作用。这项研究使用了一项两波时间滞后的调查,由226名全职员工完成。这项调查收集了员工对自己、工作环境和直属经理的看法。通过结构方程模型对研究假设进行检验。研究发现,包容性领导与WB呈负相关。我们还发现心理安全和自尊在包容性领导与工作绩效之间存在一系列中介作用。我们的研究还表明,对于高嵌入性的员工,包容性领导与WB之间的负相关关系较弱,从而揭示了嵌入性较少被探索的阴暗面。
