Abstract

ABSTRACT This study draws upon social information processing theory to investigate two boundary conditions of the effect of leader humility on follower perceptions of leader-member exchange, namely, leader sex and employee power-distance orientations. Using 496 supervisor-employee dyads from China, we find a positive relationship between leader humility and follower perceptions of leader-member exchange, and confirm the moderating effects of leader sex and employee power-distance orientations. Specifically, the positive relationship between leader humility and follower perceptions of leader-member exchange is enhanced for male leaders but diminished for female leaders, and is also stronger for employees who have lower power-distance orientations. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

领导性别与员工权力距离取向是领导谦逊与领导成员交换关系的边界条件

摘要本研究运用社会信息处理理论，研究了领导者谦逊对追随者对领导者-成员交换感知影响的两个边界条件，即领导者性别和员工权力距离取向。通过对496个来自中国的主管-员工二元模型的研究，我们发现领导者谦逊与追随者对领导者-成员交换的感知之间存在正相关关系，并证实了领导者性别和员工权力距离取向的调节作用。具体而言，领导者谦逊与追随者对领导者成员交换的感知之间的正相关关系在男性领导者中增强，但在女性领导者中减弱，在权力距离取向较低的员工中也更强。讨论了理论和实践意义。
