Abstract

Drawing on the proactive motivation model, this study aims to investigate how entrepreneurial leadership at the organizational level influences employees’ taking charge at the individual level, as mediated by thriving at work and moderated by employees’ autonomy orientation. Through a two-wave questionnaire survey of 356 employees from high-tech enterprises in China, this study uses multilevel structural equation modeling to test the proposed hypotheses. The results show that organizational entrepreneurial leadership has a positive impact on individual employee taking charge and thriving at work partially mediates this relationship across levels. Additionally, employees’ autonomy orientation positively moderates not only the effect of thriving at work on employees’ taking charge but also the mediation of thriving at work in the aforementioned relationship. This study advances knowledge about entrepreneurial leadership stimulating employees’ intrinsic motivation to drive their taking charge. The psychological perspective and cross-level process deepen the research on entrepreneurial leadership effectiveness and employees’ proactive behavior, and further provide empirical evidence for executives to prompt employees to take charge.

企业领导力如何影响员工的担当？跨层级调节过程

本研究利用主动激励模型，探讨组织层面的企业家领导如何影响员工在个人层面的负责，并以工作中的繁荣为中介，以员工的自主导向为调节。本研究通过对356名中国高新技术企业员工进行两波问卷调查，采用多层次结构方程模型对本文提出的假设进行检验。研究结果表明，组织创业型领导对员工个人负责和工作表现具有正向影响，并部分中介了这种跨层次关系。此外，员工的自主性取向不仅正向调节工作蒸蒸日上对员工负责的影响，而且正向调节工作蒸蒸日上在上述关系中的中介作用。本研究提出了创业型领导对员工内在动机的激励作用。心理学视角和跨层次过程深化了创业领导有效性与员工主动性行为的研究，进一步为高管推动员工承担责任提供了实证证据。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
