Abstract

This research enhances our understanding of how workplace spirituality influences the voice behaviors of male and female employees by exploring the underlying mechanisms of psychological safety and psychological empowerment. Specifically, we propose the moderation of gender in this theoretical framework. To analyze our theoretical model, we conducted two independent studies. Study 1 involved 331 employees in the manufacturing sector, while Study 2 replicated the findings with 255 employees in the service (banking) sector. By using structural equation modeling in Mplus, we combined the results from both studies and found that workplace spirituality directly and indirectly influences the voice behaviors of both male and female employees, albeit with some variations. However, the direct effect of spirituality on female voice behavior was stronger compared to male employees. Additionally, the results from moderated mediation analysis in Mplus revealed specific indirect effects. The indirect effect of spirituality on female voice behavior primarily occurs through psychological safety, whereas for male voice behavior, it operates via psychological empowerment.

工作中灵性的性别体验：对建设性员工建言的影响

本研究通过探讨职场灵性对男女员工建言行为的影响机制，进一步了解职场灵性对男女员工建言行为的影响机制。具体地说，我们在这个理论框架中提出了性别的适度。为了分析我们的理论模型，我们进行了两项独立的研究。研究1涉及制造业的331名员工，而研究2在服务业（银行业）的255名员工中复制了研究结果。通过Mplus的结构方程模型，我们将两项研究的结果结合起来，发现工作场所灵性直接或间接地影响了男性和女性员工的建言行为，尽管存在一些差异。然而，精神性对女性建言的直接影响强于男性员工。此外，Mplus的调节中介分析结果揭示了特定的间接效应。精神性对女性建言的间接影响主要通过心理安全来实现，而对男性建言的间接影响主要通过心理赋权来实现。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
