Abstract

Purpose Research has consistently demonstrated that psychological capital (PsyCap) is an important predictor of various employee outcomes. Despite this, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding antecedents of PsyCap and the boundary conditions that influence PsyCap relationships. This study aimed to address these gaps by investigating how ethical leadership (EL) influences employee PsyCap, and in turn, predicts a range of desirable and undesirable employee attitudes. Furthermore, the study examined the moderating role of length of the leader-follower relationship (LLR) and organisational identification in these relationships in a novel moderated-mediation model. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 269 full-time employees in Australia via an online survey across two time-points. Findings The results show that PsyCap mediates the relationship between EL and employee attitudes. The results also indicate that LLR moderates these relationships, whereby these relationships are strengthened as LLR increases. Originality/value This study responds to calls for further investigation of antecedent and outcome variables related to PsyCap, as well as moderators of the relationships between PsyCap and antecedent and outcome variables. The findings also extend the application of social exchange theory to the context of EL and PsyCap.

伦理型领导和心理资本对员工态度的影响:一个有调节的中介模型
研究一致表明,心理资本(PsyCap)是各种员工绩效的重要预测因子。尽管如此,关于心理cap的前提和影响心理cap关系的边界条件的知识仍然缺乏。本研究旨在通过调查道德领导(EL)如何影响员工心理cap来解决这些差距,并反过来预测一系列可取和不可取的员工态度。在此基础上,本研究构建了一个新的调节-中介模型,检验了领导-追随者关系长度和组织认同对领导-追随者关系的调节作用。设计/方法/方法通过两个时间点的在线调查收集了来自澳大利亚269名全职员工的数据。研究结果表明,PsyCap在员工敬业度与员工态度之间起中介作用。结果还表明,LLR调节了这些关系,因此这些关系随着LLR的增加而加强。原创性/价值本研究回应了进一步调查与心理cap相关的前因变量和结果变量,以及心理cap与前因变量和结果变量之间关系的调节因子的呼吁。研究结果还将社会交换理论的应用扩展到学习动机和心理cap的背景下。
