May Supervisor Narcissism Lead to Employee Silence？the Role of Psychological Safety and Supervisor-subordinate Guanxi

Abstract

Abstract: Employee silence is a hot issue in the field of organizational behavior in recent years.This study integrates evolutionary psychological theory and 1eader-member exchange theory to construct a research model of the relationship between supervisor narcissism and employee silence. Through the two-stage questionnaire, we examine the relationship between supervisor narcissism and employee silence, the mediating role of psychological safety and the moderating role of supervisor-subordinate guanxi. The results show that: (1) Supervisor narcissism has a significant positive impact on employee silence and psychological safety plays partial mediating role between them. (2)Supervisor-subordinate guanxi significantly moderates the relationship between supervisor narcissism and psychological safety. The negative correlation between supervisor narcissism and psychological safety is more significant in low supervisor-subordinate guanxi than in high supervisor-subordinate guanxi.(3)Supervisor-subordinate guanxi negatively moderates the mediating effect of psychological safety on the relationship between supervisor narcissism and employee silence.The higher the quality of supervisor-subordinate guanxi, the weaker the mediating effect is and the stronger if it is the opposite.

Key words: Narcissism, Employee Silence, Psychological Safety, Supervisor-subordinate Guanxi

摘要： 员工沉默是近年来组织行为学领域关注的热点问题。本研究基于进化心理学理论和领导成员交换理论,构建管理者自恋与员工沉默关系的研究模型。通过两阶段的问卷调查,检验管理者自恋与员工沉默的关系、心理安全感的中介作用及上下级关系的调节作用。研究结果表明:(1)管理者自恋与员工沉默显著正相关,员工的心理安全感在两者之间起部分中介作用;(2)上下级关系负向调节管理者自恋与心理安全感之间的关系,即上下级关系质量越高,管理者自恋与员工心理安全感的负相关关系越弱;(3)上下级关系显著负向调节心理安全感对管理者自恋与员工沉默之间关系的中介作用,即上下级关系质量越高,心理安全感的中介作用就越强;反之则越弱。
