Abstract

The present study is designed to investigate how leader proactive personality and competency jointly relate to team proactivity. Drawing on social cognitive theory, we hypothesize that proactive yet incompetent leaders diminish the magnitude and enhance the dispersion of team role breadth efficacy, defined as the collective confidence to engage in a range of integrative, interpersonal, and proactive tasks, which lowers team proactive performance. The test of the hypotheses, based on two waves of surveys of members of 66 professional work teams and their leaders, reveals three main findings. First, leaders' proactive personality is negatively associated with the magnitude and positively related to the dispersion of team role breadth efficacy when their competency is low. Second, proactive personality is positively associated with the magnitude, but not the dispersion, of team role breadth efficacy if their competency is high. Third, the leader proactivity-competency interactive effect relates positively to team proactive performance, through the mediation of the optimal configuration of team role breadth efficacy (high magnitude + low dispersion). This study thus highlights the need to consider both proactive personality and competency for team management and their implications for leaders' own career success.

领导主动性够吗:领导能力在塑造团队角色、广度、效率和主动性表现中的重要性
本研究旨在探讨领导者主动性人格与胜任力对团队主动性的共同影响。根据社会认知理论,我们假设主动但不称职的领导者会降低团队角色广度效能的幅度,并增强其分散性。团队角色广度效能被定义为参与一系列综合、人际和主动任务的集体信心,从而降低团队的主动绩效。基于对66个专业工作团队成员及其领导者的两波调查,对这些假设进行了测试,揭示了三个主要发现。第一,当领导者的胜任力较低时,其主动性人格与团队角色广度效能的大小呈负相关,与分散度呈正相关。第二,主动性人格在胜任力高的情况下,与团队角色广度效能的大小呈显著正相关,而与分散度无显著正相关。第三,领导者主动性-胜任力互动效应通过团队角色广度效能最优配置(高幅度+低分散)的中介作用,对团队主动性绩效具有正向影响。因此,本研究强调需要考虑团队管理的主动性人格和能力,以及它们对领导者自身职业成功的影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
