Abstract

Research on whether leaders' supervision style substantially affects employees' innovative behavior has rarely been conclusive. Therefore, in this study I explored the mechanism of how supportive and controlling supervision can influence employees' innovative behavior, taking the effect of personal characteristics into consideration. I surveyed 261 employees in the research and development department of a business and the results revealed that supervision style had a significant effect on employees' innovation. Further, employees' work engagement mediated the relationship between supervision style and employees' innovative behavior. Finally, I verified the moderating effect of subordinates' regulatory focus and found that this effect differed according to the type of regulatory focus. The findings point to the importance of leaders adjusting their supervision style for individual team members.

支持性和控制性监督如何影响员工的创新行为

关于领导者的监督风格是否会对员工的创新行为产生实质性影响的研究很少有定论。因此，在本研究中，我考虑了个人特征的影响，探讨了支持性和控制性监督对员工创新行为的影响机制。我对某企业研发部门的261名员工进行了调查，结果显示，监管方式对员工的创新有显著影响。此外，员工的工作投入在监督方式与员工创新行为的关系中起中介作用。最后，我验证了下属监管焦点的调节作用，发现根据监管焦点的类型，这种调节作用是不同的。研究结果指出，领导者调整自己的监督方式对团队成员个体的重要性。
