Abstract

PurposeTransformational leadership (TFL) has been identified by a number of studies as a positive force for business success. However, few studies have explicitly examined its influence on the cooperative employment relationship, such as frontline employees' voice in the workplace. Thus, this study conducts an empirical analysis of dual-level (i.e. group-focused and individual-focused) TFL and its effect on frontline employees' cooperative voice.Design/methodology/approachThis empirical study is based on data from a survey of 468 full-time frontline workers from 38 hotels in China.FindingsThe empirical results revealed that both individual-level and group-level TFL are significantly associated with frontline employees' cooperative voice. Person–Organization value congruence and Person–Supervisor value congruence both act as mediators in the linkage between group-level TFL and employees' cooperative voice behaviors. The partial mediating role of Demand–Ability congruence on the relationship between individual-level TFL and cooperative voice is also established.Originality/valueFirst, this study investigates the dual-level effects of TFL on the cooperative voice behavior of frontline employees. Second, this study explores whether three dimensions of value congruence mediate the influence of TFL on the voice behaviors of employees.

变革型领导和合作声音背后的价值一致机制的多层次视角

目的转变型领导（TFL）已被许多研究确定为商业成功的积极力量。然而，很少有研究明确考察其对合作就业关系的影响，例如一线员工在工作场所的声音。因此，本研究对双重层面（即以群体为中心和以个人为中心）的全要素生产率及其对一线员工合作话语权的影响进行了实证分析。设计/方法/方法本实证研究基于对中国38家酒店468名全职一线员工的调查数据。个人-组织价值一致性和个人-主管价值一致性都是团队层面TFL与员工合作声音行为之间联系的中介。需求-能力一致性在个体层面TFL与合作声音关系中的部分中介作用也得到了确立。独创性/价值首先，本研究考察了全要素生产率对一线员工合作发声行为的双重影响。其次，本研究探讨了价值一致性的三个维度是否介导了TFL对员工声音行为的影响。
