本研究運用社會認知理論(social cognitive theory)、社會資訊處理理論(social information processing theory)以及調節焦點理論(regulatory focus theory)探討誠正領導(authentic leadership)的前因、調節、中介以及後果變項。本研究以76個軍事單位(361位成員)做為研究樣本。研究結果發現領導者的道德能力(moral potency)對於單位層次的誠正領導(unit-level authentic leadership)具有正向影響。部屬與主管價值觀適配(person-supervisor value congruence)會部份中介單位層次的誠正領導與個體層次員工建言(employee voice)之間的關係。另外,透過調節式路徑分析(moderated path analysis)發現,當單位的領導強度(leadership strength)和部屬的調節焦點(regulatory focus)都同時很高時,單位層次的誠正領導透過部屬與主管價值觀適配影響單位成員建言的中介效果最強。最後,本研究提出對於理論發展、管理實務以及未來研究方向之相關研究意涵。
Drawing on the theories of social cognitive, social information processing, and regulatory focus, this field study examines antecedents, boundary conditions, processes, and consequences of authentic leadership. Survey data were collected from multiple sources, comprising 361 supervisor-subordinate dyads in 76 functional units in Taiwanese military. I found that leader moral potency was related to unit-level authentic leadership. Further, my results supported the prediction that person-supervisor value congruence partially mediated the relationship between unit-level authentic leadership and employee voice. In addition, moderated path analysis revealed that the indirect effect of unit-level authentic leadership on promotive voice/prohibitive voice through person-supervisor value congruence was stronger for work units with strong leadership strength and followers with high promotion focus/high prevention focus. Finally, I discussed the implications of these findings for theory, research and practice.
