Abstract

ABSTRACT In spite of a growing interest for improvisation in organizations, the microfoundations of improvisation have not been theorized yet. Exploring these microfoundations, we study how employees’ psychological capital (PsyCap) acts as a critical cluster of resources to face improvisational challenges and how leaders who convey grit (operationalized as perseverance of effort: Grit-PE), counterbalanced with humility, create conditions to develop those resources. By building upon the conservation of resources and the dual-systems model of self-regulation theories, our empirical studies suggest that the interaction between two leader-conveyed resources (Grit-PE and humility) creates a contextual resource that helps employees develop PsyCap, thus making them more likely to improvise. The positive effect of high Grit-PE in leaders on employees’ improvisation materializes mainly when leaders also are humble.

员工的即兴行为：探索领导者Grit和谦逊的作用

摘要尽管组织中对即兴创作的兴趣越来越大，但即兴创作的微观基础还没有理论化。通过探索这些微观基础，我们研究了员工的心理资本（PsyCap）是如何作为一组关键的资源来面对即兴挑战的，以及传达毅力（表现为坚持不懈的努力：grit PE）的领导者如何创造条件来开发这些资源。通过建立在资源守恒和自我调节理论的双系统模型的基础上，我们的实证研究表明，两种领导者传达的资源（Grit PE和谦逊）之间的互动创造了一种情境资源，帮助员工发展心理资本，从而使他们更有可能即兴发挥。领导者的高Grit PE对员工即兴创作的积极影响主要体现在领导者也谦逊的时候。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
