Abstract

Drawing on attachment theory, the present study develops a theoretical model to explore whether, how, and when daily leader secure-base support impacts employees' daily in-role and extra-role performance. To test this model, we employed an experience-sampling method and collected daily diary data over 3 weeks. Results of multilevel path analysis indicated that daily leader secure-base support was positively related to both employees' daily in-role and extra-role performance. Moreover, we found that daily leader secure-base support indirectly influenced employees' in-role performance via their self-esteem, whereas it indirectly influenced employees' extra-role performance via their gratitude. Finally, attachment anxiety moderated the within-person relationship between daily leader secure-base support and employees' self-esteem as well as the indirect effect of daily leader secure-base support on employees' subsequent in-role performance via their self-esteem. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings, as well as future research directions.

领导者的日常安全支持对员工日常表现的影响：依恋理论视角

本研究借鉴依恋理论，建立了一个理论模型来探讨领导者的日常安全感支持是否、如何以及何时会影响员工的日常角色内和角色外表现。为了检验这一模型，我们采用了经验取样法，收集了为期 3 周的每日日记数据。多层次路径分析结果表明，领导者的日常安全感支持与员工的日常角色内和角色外绩效均呈正相关。此外，我们还发现，领导者的日常安全感支持通过员工的自尊间接影响员工的角色内绩效，而通过员工的感恩间接影响员工的角色外绩效。最后，依恋焦虑调节了日常领导安全基础支持与员工自尊之间的人际关系，也调节了日常领导安全基础支持通过员工自尊对员工随后角色内绩效的间接影响。我们将讨论这些发现的理论和实践意义，以及未来的研究方向。
