摘要:现有研究从静态视角证实了领导者谦卑的积极效果,但是鲜有研究注意到领导者谦卑的负面作用。本研究以地位理论为基础,基于动态视角,探究了在新领导入职的前90天里,新领导谦卑水平的变化趋势对自身地位的影响及边界条件。对246名下属进行为期14周的连续调查,结果显示,新领导的谦卑变化趋势通过下属感知支配的变化趋势和感知能力的变化趋势对其地位产生负面影响。本研究进一步发现,前任领导的谦卑能减弱新领导谦卑的变化趋势对下属感知支配的变化趋势的影响。本研究具有重要的理论意义并提供了实践启示。
Abstract: Existing research has confirmed the positive effects of leader humility from a static perspective, whereas the negative consequences of leader humility have rarely been explored, and here is a lack of dynamic empirical perspective. Building on status theory, with a dynamic perspective, we focus on how and when trajectory in new leaders' humility demotes their status in the first 90 days of leader transition. Results from a 14-week survey with a sample of 246 subordinates reveal that trajectory in new leaders' humility has a negative influence on their status through the mediation of trajectories in dominance and competence perceived by subordinates. We further find that former leaders' humility can attenuate the influence of trajectory in new leaders' humility on trajectory in subordinates' perceived dominance. Significant theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
