摘要

摘要 管理工作场所安全需要领导者在相互竞争的目标和过程中游刃有余。然而,目前对安全领导力的概念化和测量并不能充分解决这一实际问题。为了解决这个问题,我们将悖论理论和悖论领导力研究与安全管理文献相结合,提出了悖论安全领导力(PSL)的概念和测量方法。我们将 PSL 定义为一种多维结构,由看似矛盾但又相互关联的领导行为组成,以满足安全管理中相互竞争的目标和要求。通过演绎法和归纳法的结合,我们确定了 PSL 的四个行为维度:(1) 同时强调生产和安全;(2) 强制遵守安全规定,同时允许灵活性;(3) 在上层管理安全要求与一线安全需求和要求之间架起桥梁;(4) 平衡在办公室的时间与在现场与员工相处的时间。然后,我们提供了支持所提议的 PSL 量表的四因素结构、可靠性、收敛性、判别性、增量有效性和跨文化不变性的证据。我们的研究拓宽了人们对领导力在工作场所安全中的作用的理解,提出了一种管理安全紧张局势的悖论方法,并提供了一种有可能推动安全和悖论领导力领域研究的测量方法。

Paradoxical safety leadership: Conceptualization and measurement
SummaryManaging workplace safety requires leaders to navigate through competing goals and processes. However, the current conceptualization and measurement of safety leadership do not adequately address this practical reality. To address this issue, we integrate paradox theory and paradoxical leadership research with safety‐management literature to develop the conceptualization and measurement of paradoxical safety leadership (PSL). We define PSL as a multidimensional construct that consists of seemingly contradictory yet interrelated leader behaviors to meet competing goals and demands in safety management. Using a combination of deductive and inductive methods, we identify four behavioral dimensions of PSL: (1) placing an emphasis on both production and safety; (2) enforcing safety compliance while allowing flexibility; (3) bridging upper management safety requirements versus frontline safety needs and requests; and (4) balancing time in the office and the time spent with employees in the field. We then provide evidence that supports the proposed four‐factor structure, reliability, convergent, discriminant, incremental validity, and cross‐cultural invariance of the PSL scale. Our study broadens the understanding of the role of leadership in workplace safety by developing a paradoxical approach to managing safety tensions and providing a measure that has the potential to advance research in both safety and paradox leadership domains.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Organizational Behavior aims to publish empirical reports and theoretical reviews of research in the field of organizational behavior, wherever in the world that work is conducted. The journal will focus on research and theory in all topics associated with organizational behavior within and across individual, group and organizational levels of analysis, including: -At the individual level: personality, perception, beliefs, attitudes, values, motivation, career behavior, stress, emotions, judgment, and commitment. -At the group level: size, composition, structure, leadership, power, group affect, and politics. -At the organizational level: structure, change, goal-setting, creativity, and human resource management policies and practices. -Across levels: decision-making, performance, job satisfaction, turnover and absenteeism, diversity, careers and career development, equal opportunities, work-life balance, identification, organizational culture and climate, inter-organizational processes, and multi-national and cross-national issues. -Research methodologies in studies of organizational behavior.
