Abstract

PurposeThe success of projects is a major challenge for information technology (IT) project-based businesses (PBOs). Employees' negative emotions (NE) disrupt the employees' usual work activities by creating obstacles to routine operations. Organizations should take steps to lessen these NE. The current study assessed the mediating role of NE and the moderating influence of employee mindfulness in the association between despotic leadership (DL) and IT project success (PS).Design/methodology/approachTime-lagged data were collected from 341 employees working in various IT-based project organizations in Pakistan using purposive sampling.FindingsResults were consistent with the authors' hypothesized framework, as DL increases employees' NE, which in turn negatively affects IT PS. In addition, mindfulness plays a buffering role in mitigating the damaging impact of DL on NE.Originality/valuePrevious researchers focused on the positive aspects of leadership and its influence on PS and paid limited attention to the dark leadership style. The authors' study's findings help understand how project-based organizations can reduce employees' NE.

领导力和信息技术项目成功的黑暗面:正念的作用
目的项目的成功是信息技术(IT)项目型企业(PBO)面临的主要挑战。员工的负面情绪(NE)会对日常操作造成障碍,从而扰乱员工的日常工作活动。各组织应采取措施减少这些NE。目前的研究评估了NE的中介作用和员工正念在专制领导(DL)和IT项目成功(PS)之间的关系中的调节作用。设计/方法/方法使用有目的的抽样从巴基斯坦各种IT项目组织的341名员工中收集了时间滞后的数据。发现结果与作者的假设框架一致,因为DL增加了员工的NE,这反过来又对IT PS产生了负面影响。此外,正念在减轻DL对NE的破坏性影响方面发挥着缓冲作用。独创性/value以前的研究人员专注于领导的积极方面及其对PS的影响,而对黑暗领导风格的关注有限。作者的研究结果有助于理解基于项目的组织如何减少员工的NE。
