主管八卦：一個跨層級研究架構之發展
Supervisor Gossip: Developing A Cross-level Research Framework
摘要
並列摘要
This study focuses on the supervisor as the transmitter of workplace gossip, and constructs the type of supervisor gossip based on the valence and scope of gossip for developing a cross-level research framework. First, this study distinguishes four types of supervisory gossip, namely motivational gossip, normative gossip, relational gossip, and malicious gossip. Second, this study explores how the four types of supervisory gossip affect group outcomes through group process, and illustrate group status and group diversity as the group-level boundary conditions for group outcomes. Finally, supervisor gossip can also affect subordinates' leadership perception and personal outcomes, and the effects are affected by the approach-avoidance temperament and developmental job experience which are as the individual-level boundary conditions. Overall, this study argues that leaders' informal communication behaviors are significantly related to their leadership effectiveness.
