摘要

目的尽管人们承认领导者在知识管理中扮演着重要角色,但对特定领导者的行为与员工知识共享之间动态关系的关注却很有限。本研究旨在探讨领导者的慷慨行为对员工知识共享的影响。设计/方法/途径我们借鉴了广义互惠理论,建立了一个过程模型来考察领导者的慷慨行为对知识共享的影响,并对由此产生的机制进行了实证检验。研究结果研究结果表明,员工的感激之情和亲社会动机分别在领导慷慨与知识共享之间起到了中介作用。此外,领导者的慷慨也会通过员工的感激之情和亲社会动机对知识共享产生间接影响。原创性/价值通过探讨领导者在实施知识管理实践中的重要影响,作者证明了一种特定的领导者行为(即领导者的慷慨)塑造了员工的积极情绪和互惠动机,并进而对知识共享产生了影响。本文补充了有关领导者日常行为的文献中对知识共享的关注,表明领导者的慷慨对员工的知识共享非常重要。

Leader generosity and employee knowledge sharing: an episodic perspective of generalized reciprocity

Purpose

Despite the acknowledgment of the significant role leaders play in knowledge management, there has been limited focus on the dynamic relationship between one particular leader’s behavior and knowledge sharing of employees. This study aims to investigate the impact of leader generosity on employee knowledge sharing.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing upon the generalized reciprocity theory, we develop a process model that examines the impact of leader generosity on knowledge sharing, and empirically tests the resulting mechanism. Based on event-contingent ESM that collected 1147 episodic data points, the data are analyzed by Mplus 8.30 and R software.

Findings

The findings indicate that employee gratitude and prosocial motivation respectively play a mediating role in the relationship between leader generosity and knowledge sharing. Additionally, leader generosity has an indirect impact on knowledge sharing via employee gratitude and prosocial motivation. Furthermore, relational self positively moderates the relationship between leader generosity and employee gratitude, while also moderates the chain mediation effect between leader generosity and knowledge sharing.

Originality/value

By exploring the important influence of leaders in implementing knowledge management practices, the authors demonstrate that a specific leader behavior (i.e. leader generosity) shapes the positive emotion and reciprocal motivation of employees and its subsequent impact on knowledge sharing. This paper complements the focus on knowledge sharing in the daily behavior literature of leaders, suggesting that leader generosity matters for employee knowledge sharing.

期刊介绍: The journal addresses a broad range of topics which are relevant to organizations and reflective of societal developments. Public and private sector organizations alike face ongoing pressure to streamline activities, improve efficiency and achieve demanding organizational objectives. In this context, the ability of senior managers to understand the culture and dynamics of organizations and to deliver strong leadership during periods of change, could be the difference between organizational failure and success.
