本研究探討心理安全對於員工知覺企業接班人-資深主管間信任關係與其態度、行為之關連性的中介效果。研究者以國內二十九間進行接班中的中小企業從業人員為研究對象,進行匿名問卷調查,有效問卷共計240份。研究結果支持所提假說。1.接班人與資深主管的信任關係與員工心理安全具有正向關連性。2.員工心理安全對接班人-資深主管的信任關係與離職傾向具有中介效果。亦即,接班人-資深主管的信任關係越強,員工有越高的心理安全,進而其離職傾向將會降低。3.員工心理安全對接班人-資深主管的信任關係與工作滿足感的關係具有中介效果。亦即,接班人-資深主管的信任關係越強,員工有越高的心理安全,進而其工作滿足感將會提升。4.員工心理安全對接班人-資深主管的信任關係與建言行為的關係具有中介效果。亦即,接班人-資深主管的信任關係越強,員工有越高的心理安全,進而越會展現出建言行為。文末,研究者提出幾點實務建議,分別為「培養專業知識、厚實實務經驗」、「尊重專業的價值」、「視資深主管的經驗為公司重要資產」及「營造公司內部正向情緒氛圍」,以培養企業傳承良性溝通,創造多贏的格局。
