Abstract

Purpose

Previous research has mainly focused on the outcomes of empowering leadership, and empirical evidence on how to encourage leaders to display empowering behaviors has been overlooked, particularly from an interpersonal perspective.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the integrative model of organizational trust, we investigate the relationship between employees' taking charge behaviors and empowering leadership considering the mediating role of leader trust in employees and the moderating role of risk propensity.

Findings

The results indicate that taking charge is positively associated with leader trust in employees, which influences the development of empowering leadership. Additionally, leaders' risk propensity moderates these relationships, that is, a higher level of risk propensity can enhance the promoting effect of leader trust on empowering behaviors.

Originality/value

This study explores the antecedents and mechanisms influencing empowering leadership and proposes the moderating effect of risk propensity. The findings not only clarify how and why employees' taking charge behaviors can stimulate empowering leadership but also offer a more comprehensive understanding of the antecedents of empowering leadership.

员工负责行为与授权型领导：领导者对员工的信任与风险倾向的作用

目的以往的研究主要集中在授权型领导的结果上，而关于如何鼓励领导者表现出授权行为的实证证据却被忽视了，尤其是从人际关系的角度来看。设计/方法/途径基于组织信任的整合模型，考虑到领导者对员工信任的中介作用和风险倾向的调节作用，我们研究了员工负责行为与授权型领导之间的关系。此外，领导者的风险倾向对上述关系起到调节作用，即较高的风险倾向可以增强领导者信任对授权行为的促进作用。研究结果不仅阐明了员工的负责行为如何以及为何能激发授权型领导力，还对授权型领导力的前因有了更全面的认识。
