Abstract

Currently, hotel employees, especially hotel managers, are confronting significant sleep issues, while the practices of ethical leadership by managers and proactive behavior by employees are critically important for hotel operations. The interrelationships among these three variables remain inadequately explored. This study investigates the impact of hotel managers' sleep quality on their ethical leadership through the mechanism of ego-depletion and further extends this effect to hotel employees' proactive behavior. Grounded in ego-depletion theory, this research analyzes a sample of 541 unit-days utilizing multilevel path analysis and the Monte Carlo simulation test. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between hotel managers' daily sleep quality and their daily ethical leadership, with daily ego-depletion serving a mediating role. A positive relationship is also established between hotel managers' daily ethical leadership and hotel employees' daily proactive behavior. Furthermore, hotel managers' daily sleep quality indirectly affects hotel employees' daily proactive behavior through the sequential mediation of daily ego-depletion and daily ethical leadership.

酒店管理者的睡眠质量、道德领导和酒店员工的主动行为

目前，酒店员工，尤其是酒店经理，正面临着严重的睡眠问题，而管理者的道德领导实践和员工的主动行为对酒店运营至关重要。这三个变量之间的相互关系仍未得到充分探讨。本研究通过自我耗竭机制考察酒店管理者睡眠质量对其伦理领导的影响，并将这种影响进一步延伸到酒店员工的主动行为。本研究以自我耗竭理论为基础，利用多层次路径分析和蒙特卡罗模拟测试分析了541个单位日的样本。结果表明，酒店管理者的日常睡眠质量与日常道德领导之间存在正相关关系，其中日常自我损耗起中介作用。酒店管理者的日常道德领导与酒店员工的日常主动行为之间也存在正相关关系。此外，酒店管理者的日常睡眠质量通过日常自我耗竭和日常伦理领导的序贯中介间接影响酒店员工的日常主动行为。
