Abstract
Existing studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding whether employees’ perceptions of organizational politics (POP) inhibit or promote their voice behaviors. These controversies highlight the premature nature of reaching a definitive conclusion regarding the influence of POP on voice. Adopting an expansive view of voice behavior, this study considers the foci of voice and, through the lens of the conservation of resources, proposes that POP has distinct indirect effects on two types of voice behaviors (organization-targeted voice and self-targeted voice) via ego depletion. Moreover, perceived managerial openness serves as a moderator in these indirect effects, specifically moderating the relationship between ego depletion and voice behaviors. The hypotheses are supported by a three-wave time-lagged survey involving 247 employees. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
关于员工对组织政治(POP)的认知会抑制还是促进他们的声音行为,现有研究得出的结论并不一致。这些争议凸显了就 POP 对话语权的影响得出明确结论的时机尚不成熟。本研究采用广义的话语权行为视角,考虑了话语权的焦点,并通过资源保护的视角,提出 POP 通过自我消耗对两种类型的话语权行为(组织目标话语权和自我目标话语权)具有明显的间接影响。此外,感知到的管理开放性在这些间接影响中起到调节作用,特别是调节自我耗竭与发声行为之间的关系。一项涉及 247 名员工的三波时滞调查支持了上述假设。本文还讨论了对理论和实践的启示。
