摘要

讨好是一种印象管理策略,用于那些寻求获得他人好感的人。以往的研究主要是从发起者的角度来考察讨好的作用,而忽略了观察者在面对同伴的讨好行为时的反应。本研究以社会比较理论为基础,采用第三方框架解释了讨好与排斥之间的路径,并分析了中国背景下的时间滞后调查和两个基于场景的实验数据。观察到的谄媚行为会引起第三方员工对未来地位威胁的感觉,从而对谄媚者产生排斥。此外,当观察者的目标与讨好者的目标竞争时,被观察到的讨好行为的不利影响会加剧,而他们的领导-成员交换社会比较(LMXSC)则会缓冲其不利影响。这些发现将研究视角从发起-目标二元扩展到第三方员工,揭示了讨好-排斥内在机制中的一个重要中介(未来地位威胁)和两个重要的相反调节因子(竞争目标和LMXSC),从而推动了讨好研究的发展。此外,尽管阿谀奉承可能会给阿谀奉承者带来好处,但管理者必须认识到,这对第三方员工可能是破坏性的。

‘I disdain the company of flatterers!’: How and when observed ingratiation predicts employees’ ostracism toward their ingratiating colleagues
Ingratiation is an impression management tactic used by those who seek to obtain the favor of others. Previous studies mainly examine the role of ingratiation from the initiator’s perspective, ignoring observers’ reactions when they are confronted with their peers’ ingratiating behaviors. Drawing on social comparison theory, this study employs a third-party framework to explain the pathways between observed ingratiation and ostracism and analyzes data from a time-lagged survey and two scenario-based experiments in the Chinese context. Observed ingratiation triggers third-party employees’ ostracism of flatterers by arousing a sense of future status threats. Moreover, when observers’ goals are competitive with those of ingratiators, the adverse effects of observed ingratiation are exacerbated, whereas their leader–member exchange social comparison (LMXSC) buffers its unfavorable effects. These findings advance ingratiation studies by extending the research perspective from that of initiator–target dyads to third-party employees and unveiling a vital mediator (future status threats) and two essential opposite moderators (competitive goals and LMXSC) in the internal mechanism underlying the observed ingratiation–ostracism link. Further, although ingratiation may induce benefits for ingratiators, managers must recognize that it can be destructive for third-party employees.
