Abstract

From the perspective of social exchange and the conservation of resources theories, the current study investigated the effect of toxic leadership on employee cyberloafing behaviour via the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and the moderating role of organisational commitment. SPSS models 1:moderation, 4: mediation, and 14: moderation mediation of PROCESS Hayes were used to evaluate the data from 357 employees of the Chinese corporate sector. The results show a positive relation between toxic leadership and cyberloafing, and emotional exhaustion mediates this relationship. Further, organisation commitment moderates the indirect, interactive effect of toxic leadership and emotional exhaustion on cyberloafing. The model was tested using 3-wave data; however, since the data were attained from a single source, the problem of common method bias cannot be ruled out. To avoid or lessen instances of cyberloafing behaviour and encourage good working attitudes, organisations must also take action and develop regulations governing internet use in the workplace.

通过情绪耗竭的中介作用考察员工网络闲逛行为与有毒领导关系

从社会交流和资源保护理论的角度，本研究通过情绪衰竭的中介作用和组织承诺的调节作用，调查了有毒领导对员工网络游手好闲行为的影响。使用PROCESS Hayes的SPSS模型1：适度、4：中介和14：适度中介对357名中国企业部门员工的数据进行了评估。研究结果表明，不良领导与网络游手好闲之间存在正相关关系，情绪衰竭介导了这种关系。此外，组织承诺调节了有毒领导和情绪衰竭对网络闲逛的间接、互动影响。该模型使用3波数据进行了测试；然而，由于数据是从单一来源获得的，因此不能排除常见方法偏差的问题。为了避免或减少网络闲逛行为，鼓励良好的工作态度，组织还必须采取行动，制定管理工作场所互联网使用的法规。
