Abstract

The importance of humble leadership has garnered increasing attention among researchers. Most existing research focuses on its positive effects, but its negative effects are rarely discussed. From a more dialectical perspective, this study found that humble leadership has a dual impact, as it can foster employee innovative behavior and also trigger instances of time theft. Based on social information processing theory, this study used a questionnaire survey and structural equation modeling. Through the data analysis of 303 sample, the results suggest that humble leadership can reduce employee time theft by reducing employees' perceived acceptance of norm violations, while stimulating employee respect can increase employee innovative behavior, as well as supervisor's organizational embodiment can have a positive moderating effect. This study examines the mechanism of the influence of humble leadership on employee innovative behavior and time theft, broadens the body of humble leadership research, reveals the role of supervisor's organizational embodiment, and provides theoretical insights for enterprises to optimize organizational management.

混合情绪：谦逊领导影响员工行为的二元路径。

谦逊领导的重要性越来越受到研究人员的关注。现有的研究大多集中在其积极作用上，但很少讨论其消极作用。从更辩证的角度来看，本研究发现谦逊的领导有双重影响，因为它可以促进员工的创新行为，也会引发时间盗窃。本研究基于社会信息加工理论，采用问卷调查法和结构方程模型。通过对303个样本的数据分析，结果表明谦逊领导可以通过降低员工对违反规范的感知接受度来减少员工的时间盗窃，而激发员工尊重可以增加员工的创新行为，并且主管的组织体现可以起到正向调节作用。本研究考察了谦逊型领导对员工创新行为和时间盗窃的影响机制，拓宽了谦逊型领导研究的主体，揭示了管理者组织体现的作用，为企业优化组织管理提供了理论见解。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
