Abstract
Although previous research demonstrated that empowering leadership has both positive and negative impacts on team consequences, our current knowledge of the processes by which and the conditions under which empowering leadership promotes or hinders team performance remains limited. Drawing on the too-much-of-a-good-thing (TMGT) effect and the team self-regulatory perspective, our findings, backed with a time-lagged and multi-source survey, suggested that empowering leadership has a curvilinear impact (i.e., inverted U-shaped) on team performance through team reflexivity, and this impact is contingent on team performance-approach goal orientation. We discuss the implications of our findings from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
尽管以往的研究表明,授权型领导对团队的结果既有积极影响,也有消极影响,但我们目前对授权型领导促进或阻碍团队绩效的过程和条件的了解仍然有限。借鉴 "好事太多 "效应(TMGT)和团队自我调节视角,我们的研究结果以时滞和多来源调查为支持,表明授权型领导通过团队反思性对团队绩效产生曲线影响(即倒 U 型),而这种影响取决于团队绩效-目标导向。我们将从理论和实践两个角度讨论研究结果的意义。
