Abstract

Purpose The main objectives of this study were to examine the congruent/incongruent effects of ethical leadership–abusive supervision (EL-AS) on employees' job performance (JP), mediated by employees' workplace emotions. Design/methodology/approach In this study, multiphase data were collected from 276 frontline employees at a large automobile manufacturing company in southwest China. The hypotheses were tested performing polynomial regression and response surface analysis. Findings The results revealed that employees in “high–high” and “high–low” EL-AS experienced more positive emotions (PE), while “low–high” EL-AS triggered more negative emotions. Furthermore, employees' workplace emotions mediate the effect of EL-AS's congruence/incongruence on employees' JP. Practical implications Leaders should notice the paradoxical effects of EL and AS and adopt ambidextrous thinking to enhance subordinates' PE. Originality/value This study enriches the literature on paradoxical leadership by exploring the complex consequences that may result from the incongruent practice of two leadership behaviors that are often considered paradoxical in nature. Furthermore, it shifts from the previous leader-centered perspective to a subordinate-centered perspective, complementing the theoretical perspectives of EL and AS research. And it deepens the understanding of the relationship between paradoxical leadership and employees' work outcomes by exploring the intrinsic affective mechanism.
一个领导者的道德领导和滥用监督会是一种增益吗?职场情绪作为中介
摘要本研究的主要目的是探讨伦理型领导-虐待型监督(EL-AS)对员工工作绩效(JP)的一致性/不一致性影响,并以员工的职场情绪为中介。设计/方法/方法在本研究中,从中国西南地区一家大型汽车制造公司的276名一线员工中收集了多阶段的数据。采用多项式回归和响应面分析对假设进行检验。结果发现,“高-高”型和“高-低”型的员工体验到更多的积极情绪,而“低-高”型的员工体验到更多的消极情绪。此外,员工的工作场所情绪还会中介员工主观行为的一致性/不一致性对员工主观行为的影响。领导者应该注意到英语学习与英语学习的矛盾效应,并采用双灵巧思维来提高下属的英语学习。本研究通过探索两种通常被认为是自相矛盾的领导行为的不一致实践可能导致的复杂后果,丰富了关于悖论式领导的文献。并且从以往的以领导者为中心的视角转向以下属为中心的视角,对英语学习和AS研究的理论视角进行了补充。并通过对内在情感机制的探索,加深了对矛盾型领导与员工工作成果关系的理解。
