Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between communication regarding a firm's purpose between a team leader and individual team members (referred to as “purpose dialogue”) and the resulting levels of team commitment. We hypothesize that increased dialogue about purpose will lead to higher team commitment by enhancing consensus on the team's tasks and objectives. We also expect that this relationship will be negatively moderated by the variation in leader-member exchange quality (that undermines this consensus) and positively by autonomy given by leaders to individual team members (which reinforces it.) Using data from 469 firms and 57,440 individual observations, we find support for our hypotheses across different specifications. This paper contributes to research on corporate purpose at the team level, leader-member exchange theory, and management practice.

团队承诺是否与关于公司目标的对话有关？

本文考察了团队领导者和团队成员之间关于公司目标的沟通（称为“目标对话”）与团队承诺水平之间的关系。我们假设，通过加强对团队任务和目标的共识，增加关于目标的对话将导致更高的团队承诺。我们还预计，这种关系将受到领导与成员交换质量差异的负面调节（这会破坏这种共识），而受到领导给予团队成员个人自主权的积极调节（这会加强这种共识）。使用来自469家公司和57,440个个人观察的数据，我们发现我们的假设在不同的规范中得到了支持。本文对团队层面的企业目标研究、领导-成员交换理论和管理实践都有一定的贡献。
