Abstract

PurposeThe present study enriches the person-situation debate by developing and testing a theoretical model on the nexus between empowering leadership (EL) and intrapreneurial behaviour (IB) in the presence of a strong organisational situation of perceived organisational support (POS).Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional survey data collected from 237 engineers working for Pakistani automakers were used to evaluate the suggested theoretical framework. The survey results were analysed using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method.FindingsThe results from the analysed data revealed a significant and positive relationship between EL and IB. POS significantly moderate the relationship between EL and IB as per the conceptualisation of situation strength theory (SST) and is established as a strong organisational situation that generates situational cues for IB outcomes from employees.Originality/valueThe present study provides new insights into determining employees' workplace behaviour as viewed from the organisational situations. Hence, top management in organisations can create a conducive environment by improving employees' POS for valued work behaviours like IB.

授权领导带来的职场光魔法:内部创业行为的情境强度概念

目的本研究通过开发和检验授权型领导(EL)与企业内部行为(IB)之间关系的理论模型，在感知组织支持(POS)的强组织情境存在下，丰富了人-情境的争论。设计/方法/方法从237名为巴基斯坦汽车制造商工作的工程师那里收集的横断面调查数据用于评估建议的理论框架。采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)方法对调查结果进行分析。结果:分析数据的结果显示，情境优势理论(SST)的概念表明，情境优势显著地调节了情境优势和情境优势之间的关系，并被确立为一个强大的组织情境，为员工的情境优势结果产生情境线索。原创性/价值本研究提供了新的见解，以确定员工的工作场所行为，从组织的情况来看。因此，组织的高层管理人员可以通过提高员工对有价值的工作行为(如IB)的POS来创造一个有利的环境。
