Abstract

Drawing on approach–inhibition theory and proactivity research, this study examines the potential dark side of peer proactive personality for employee innovative behavior by exploring the mechanism through which peer proactive personality hinders employee innovative behavior and the underlying boundary condition. To test the hypotheses, we conducted a three-wave field study using a nested dataset (i.e., 861 employees and their 122 leaders) in China and an experimental vignette study with a U.S. sample. The results supported our hypotheses that peer proactive personality has a negative effect on employee innovative behavior via reduced employee sense of power, depending on the level of team cooperative climate. This study shifts research attention from the focal employees' proactive personality to peer proactive personality and advances the proactive personality literature by highlighting the potential dark side of peer proactive personality.

积极主动的同伴会抑制员工的创新行为吗？团队合作氛围和权力感的作用

本研究借鉴接近抑制理论和积极主动研究，通过探讨同伴积极主动人格阻碍员工创新行为的机制和潜在边界条件，研究同伴积极主动人格对员工创新行为的潜在阴暗面。为了验证假设，我们在中国使用嵌套数据集（即 861 名员工及其 122 名领导）进行了三波实地研究，并在美国样本中进行了实验性小故事研究。研究结果支持了我们的假设，即根据团队合作氛围的水平，同伴主动型人格会通过降低员工的权力感对员工的创新行为产生负面影响。本研究将研究重点从焦点员工的积极主动人格转移到了同伴的积极主动人格上，并通过强调同伴积极主动人格的潜在阴暗面，推动了积极主动人格研究的发展。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
