Abstract

Research shows positive effects of Health-oriented Leadership (HoL) on followers' health. However, irritation elicited by ICT hassles may reduce leaders' capacity to engage in staff care. This study examines whether ICT hassles are associated with staff care (i.e., health-promoting follower-directed leadership) via irritation and whether particularly those engaging in self-care suffer more or less from ICT demands. A moderated mediation model was tested at three measurement points (N = 582 leaders).

As expected, results show more irritation for leaders with more ICT hassles which is further associated with less staff care. Moreover, the positive relationship between ICT hassles and irritation was stronger for leaders displaying high self-care. In the same vein, the negative relationship between irritation and staff care was stronger for leaders engaging in self-care.

Findings provide the first evidence that ICT hassles are negatively related to staff care via leaders' irritation. Leaders who engage in self-care show less irritation and higher staff care but suffer more from ICT demands. To promote leaders' health and staff care in digital working contexts, organizations should provide reliable IT equipment and technical support. The study ties in with research on digital leadership and its antecedents and offers a new view on the interplay of demands and resources.

谁的损失最大？信息和通信技术的需求如何削弱以健康为导向的领导力

研究表明，健康导向型领导（HoL）对追随者的健康有积极影响。然而，信息和通信技术带来的麻烦可能会降低领导者参与员工关怀的能力。本研究探讨了信息和通信技术带来的麻烦是否通过刺激与员工关怀（即促进健康的追随者导向型领导）相关联，以及那些从事自我关怀的人是否更多或更少地受到信息和通信技术需求的影响。正如预期的那样，结果表明，信息和通信技术带来更多麻烦的领导者会更恼火，而这又与更少的员工关怀有关。此外，信息与传播技术带来的麻烦与烦躁之间的正相关关系在自我关心程度高的领导者身上表现得更为明显。研究结果首次证明了信息和通信技术的麻烦通过领导者的烦躁与员工关怀之间的负相关。研究结果首次证明，信息和通信技术带来的麻烦通过领导者的烦躁与员工关怀负相关。参与自我关怀的领导者烦躁程度较低，员工关怀程度较高，但信息和通信技术带来的麻烦较多。为了在数字化工作环境中促进领导者的健康和员工关怀，组织应提供可靠的信息技术设备和技术支持。这项研究与有关数字化领导力及其前因的研究相吻合，为需求与资源的相互作用提供了新的视角。
