Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationships between empowering leadership, basic psychological needs satisfaction, work-related well-being, and project citizenship behavior.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the self-determination theory (SDT), a conceptual model was developed and then empirically tested using a cross-sectional survey of 435 project members in Chinese construction projects.FindingsThe results fully support the research hypotheses proposed in the study, illustrating the positive impacts of empowering leadership on work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior, the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction, and the positive association between work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior.Practical implicationsThis research determines the utility of empowering leadership in the context of construction projects, especially in enhancing individual outcomes (i.e. work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior). Therefore, construction project managers can apply empowering leadership to meet the basic psychological needs of subordinates to increase project members' work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, the present study first explores the micro-level impacts of empowering leadership in the construction context. Additionally, this study enriches the understanding of the mediating mechanism between empowering leadership and individual outcomes from a self-determination perspective.

在建设背景下，将授权领导与工作相关的福利和项目公民行为联系起来:一个自决的视角

目的探讨授权型领导、基本心理需求满足、工作幸福感与项目公民行为之间的关系。设计/方法/方法借鉴自我决定理论(SDT)，建立了一个概念模型，然后通过对435名中国建设项目项目成员的横断面调查进行了实证检验。结果表明:授权型领导对工作幸福感和项目公民行为的正向影响，基本心理需求满足的中介作用，以及工作幸福感与项目公民行为的正相关关系，完全支持了本研究提出的研究假设。实践意义本研究确定了授权领导在建设项目背景下的效用，特别是在提高个人成果(即工作相关的幸福感和项目公民行为)方面。因此，建筑项目经理可以运用授权式领导来满足下属的基本心理需求，从而增加项目成员的工作幸福感和项目公民行为。原创性/价值据我们所知，本研究首先探讨了授权型领导在构建情境下的微观影响。此外，本研究从自我决定的角度丰富了对授权型领导与个体结果之间中介机制的理解。
