Abstract

Organizational members must constantly confront and manage numerous paradoxical tensions inherent in organizational life, such as exploration and exploitation. Although prior research suggests that a paradox mindset helps individuals navigate such tensions, we know little about how paradoxical leaders might engender such a mindset in their followers. To shed light on this issue, we differentiate between cognitive and behavioral influences on followers' paradox mindset development. Drawing on primary data from 273 employees, our study indicates that the two influences are interrelated, with behavioral mechanisms mediating the effects of cognitive mechanisms. Our study advances extant theory by providing insights into how paradoxical leaders guide employees to situationally engage with specific paradoxical tensions and influence followers’ paradox mindset in general.

悖论领导者如何引导追随者接受悖论：悖论思维发展的认知和行为机制

组织成员必须不断面对和管理组织生活中固有的许多矛盾的紧张关系，例如探索和利用。尽管先前的研究表明，悖论心态有助于个人应对这种紧张局势，但我们对悖论型领导者如何在其下属中产生这种心态知之甚少。为了阐明这个问题，我们区分了对追随者悖论心态发展的认知和行为影响。利用273名员工的原始数据，我们的研究表明，这两种影响是相互关联的，行为机制介导认知机制的影响。我们的研究通过深入了解矛盾型领导者如何引导员工在情境中参与特定的矛盾紧张关系，并在总体上影响追随者的矛盾心态，从而推进了现有的理论。
