Abstract

Adapting to the remote working environment has been one of the most visible challenges for many organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. As employee creativity helps organizations' survival and resilience during times of crisis, this study aims to examine the role of leadership communication, family-supportive leadership communication in particular, in fostering creativity among work-from-home employees. The current study specifically focuses on the mediating processes in this relationship and the moderating role of employees' work-life segmentation preferences, using a survey of 449 employees who have worked from home during the COVID-19 outbreak. The results showed that employee-organization relationship (EOR) quality, positive affect, and work-life enrichment mediate the relationship between family-supportive leadership communication and employee creativity. The effects of family-supportive leadership communication on employees' positive affect and work-life enrichment were more prominent for those who prefer to segment their work and lives. This paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for leadership in organizational communication.

在新冠肺炎大流行期间，家庭支持型领导沟通如何提高家庭员工的创造力

在新冠肺炎大流行期间，适应远程工作环境是许多组织面临的最明显挑战之一。由于员工的创造力有助于组织在危机时期的生存和恢复能力，本研究旨在检验领导沟通，特别是家庭支持型领导沟通，在培养在家工作的员工的创造力方面的作用。当前的研究特别关注这种关系中的中介过程以及员工工作-生活细分偏好的调节作用，使用了一项对新冠肺炎爆发期间在家工作的449名员工的调查。结果表明，员工组织关系（EOR）的质量、积极影响和工作生活的丰富程度在家庭支持性领导沟通与员工创造力之间起中介作用。对于那些喜欢划分工作和生活的人来说，家庭支持性领导沟通对员工积极情感和工作生活丰富的影响更为突出。本文最后讨论了这些发现对组织沟通中的领导力的理论和实践意义。
