Abstract

Past research has provided important insights on the role of public leaders in fostering employees' change-related behaviour, but the psychological mechanisms and boundary conditions underlying this relationship remain unclear. This research relies on the theory of planned behaviour and the value-congruence model to shed light on when and how local government managers' change-oriented leadership influences employees' change-supportive behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on survey data collected from 758 local government employees in Thailand, our structural equation modelling analyses revealed that local government managers' change-oriented leadership had a positive relationship with employees' change-supportive behaviour via the mediating roles of employees' attitude for change, perceived climate for change and self-efficacy for change. Furthermore, perceived value congruence between managers and employees was found to enhance the indirect relationship between change-oriented leadership and change-supportive behaviour. This research highlights the importance of change-oriented leadership and value alignment in fostering change-related behaviours among government employees. © 2023 The University of Hong Kong.
新冠肺炎期间地方政府管理者变革导向领导与员工变革支持行为:基于计划行为理论
过去的研究对公共领导者在促进员工变革相关行为方面的作用提供了重要的见解,但这种关系背后的心理机制和边界条件仍不清楚。本研究依靠计划行为理论和价值一致性模型来揭示在COVID-19大流行期间,地方政府管理者的变革导向领导何时以及如何影响员工的变革支持行为。基于对泰国758名地方政府雇员的调查数据,我们的结构方程模型分析发现,地方政府管理者的变革导向领导与员工的变革支持行为之间存在正相关关系,其中介作用为员工的变革态度、变革感知气候和变革自我效能感。此外,发现管理者与员工之间的感知价值一致性增强了变革导向领导与变革支持行为之间的间接关系。本研究强调了变革导向的领导和价值观一致性在促进政府雇员变革相关行为中的重要性。©2023香港大学。
