Abstract:

Based on the theory of leadership traits and the social information processing theory, with employees of 58 domestic companies which have carried out digital transformation as the survey samples, this paper explores the relationship between the leader empathy and employees’ innovation performance in workplace, focusing on the mediating role played by the achievement needs and the role stress, and the moderating effect of the organizational error management climate. The analysis of the matching data of 157 managers and 784 employees shows that the leader empathy is positively related to employees’ achievement needs and innovation performance, but negatively correlated with employees’ role stress. In addition, the relationship between the leader empathy and employees’ innovation performance is mediated respectively by the achievement needs and the role pressure. At last, the error management climate not only regulates the relationship between the leader empathy and employees’ achievement needs and role stress, but also explains its regulating effect on the two mediating variables of the achievement needs and the role stress.

Key words: Leader Empathy, Role Stress, Need for Achievement, Error Management Climate, Employee Innovation Performance, Digital Transformation

摘要:

基于领导特质理论和社会信息加工理论,以开展数字化转型的企业为调研样本,对职场中领导共情能力与员工创新绩效之间的关系进行了逻辑阐述,重点考察成就需要和角色压力在二者之间发挥的中介作用及组织差错管理氛围的调节效应。通过对管理者和员工的配对数据分析,结果表明:领导共情能力与员工的成就需要和创新绩效呈正相关关系,与员工角色压力呈负相关关系;成就需要和角色压力分别在领导共情能力与员工创新绩效之间起中介作用;差错管理氛围不仅分别调节了领导共情能力与员工成就需要、角色压力之间的关系,还能解释其对成就需要、角色压力这两个中介变量的调节作用。
