Abstract

Abstract This research explores the significance of leader–member exchange for the subjective well-being of grassroots officials in Shandong Province, China, with both job insecurity and job burnout as the mediating factors across gender groups. Our data were gathered from the Chinese Civil Servants’ Quality of Life Survey 2019, by means of distributing questionnaires among 2046 full-time grassroots officials from 106 towns or subdistricts in Shandong. Our findings indicate that leader–member exchange plays a positive role in shaping subjective well-being among grassroots officials in China. The results also provide evidence for the mediating role of both job insecurity and job burnout in the relationship between leader–member exchange and subjective well-being across gender groups. We conclude that to increase subjective well-being among grassroots officials, greater attention should be paid to developing a more supportive pattern of leader–member exchange for both male and female public employees. In addition, both job insecurity and burnout could be reduced by utilizing job-related resources generated during a high-quality leader–member exchange process.

领导-成员交换对基层干部主观幸福感的影响:工作不安全感和工作倦怠的中介作用

摘要本研究探讨领导-成员交换对山东省基层官员主观幸福感的影响，其中工作不安全感和工作倦怠是跨性别群体的中介因素。我们的数据来自《2019年中国公务员生活质量调查》，通过对山东106个乡镇(街道)的2046名专职基层官员发放问卷的方式收集。研究结果表明，领导-成员交换对中国基层官员主观幸福感的形成具有积极作用。研究结果也为工作不安全感和工作倦怠在跨性别领导-成员交换与主观幸福感关系中的中介作用提供了证据。我们的结论是，要提高基层官员的主观幸福感，应更加重视在男性和女性公务员中建立更具支持性的领导-成员交换模式。此外，通过利用高质量的领导-成员交换过程中产生的与工作相关的资源，可以减少工作不安全感和职业倦怠。
