Abstract: Based on Regulatory Focus Theory, we conducted a survey towards 407 staff and their immediate superiors, we explored the relationship between benevolent leadership and employee voice as well as the mediation effect of employee psychological safety and sense of personal status under the Chinese organization situation. What's more, the boundary influence of leader power was also investigated. The data analysis results showed that the benevolent leadership positively related to employee voice behavior and this relationship was based on employees' psychological safety and sense of personal status for a mediation role. Besides, the moderated mediation results showed that sense of leader power could weaken the positive effect of benevolent leadership that while employee felt more about leaders' power, the mediation effect of psychological safety or sense of personal status was weaker between benevolent leadership and their voice behavior. At last future directions and limitations are discussed as well.

Key words: benevolent leadership, employee voice behavior, psychological safety, sense of personal status, sense of leader power

摘要: 基于调节聚焦理论的思想,通过对407名员工与其直接上级配对取样,探讨中国组织情境下仁慈领导对员工建言的影响及其作用机制和边界条件。研究结果显示,仁慈领导对员工的建言行为起到促进作用,且以员工心理安全感和个人地位感为中介;除此之外,员工对领导高权力的感知会弱化仁慈领导的正向作用,即员工感知到的领导权力水平越高,仁慈领导对员工建言行为的促进作用越弱,员工的心理安全感和个人地位感在“仁慈领导-建言行为”间的中介效应也越弱。
