Abstract Leaders are encouraged to show benevolence followers in paternalistic cultures. Yet, there remains debate about whether the influence of increasingly benevolent leadership on follower outcomes is linearly favorable. Grounded too‐much‐of‐a‐good‐thing effect and resource allocation theory, we developed tested a model considering potential curvilinear relationship between team performance while also examining mediating role action processes. We further reasoned that this indirect would...

Previous research has merely explored the positive relationship between cognitive diversity and creativity, but potential negative side of might also prevail should be examined together with its side. To address this gap, our study, drawing on categorization–elaboration model framework, both effects creativity/innovation in a single model. Using data collected from 101 teams (including team leaders members) 10 Chinese manufacturing companies, we identified dual pathway – namely, task...

Job-based psychological ownership arises when workers develop personal feelings of possession over various aspects a job. Drawing on conservation resources and regulatory focus theory, the current research adopts resource-based perspective to suggest double-edged effect job performance, mediated by three forms territoriality (marking, defending, expanding) information exchange moderated individual focus. With multistep process in Study 1, authors validate territorial expanding scale. Among...

Extant research demonstrates the destructive nature of authoritarian leadership in workplace, yet its widespread use suggests that a more balanced view this style may be needed to identify whether form engenders favorable reactions specific circumstances. Integrating insights from appraisal theory and compensatory control model, we posit can evoke anxiety among employees less disruptive settings, whereas it evokes feelings awe highly contexts. These then influence employees' downstream...

Abstract Promotions, as a part of organizational incentive and reward systems, can motivate employees to perform well increase commitment their firms. But very little is known about why when promotion failure influences employees' subsequent responses. Integrating social‐cognitive theory the cognitive appraisal emotion in justice literature, we investigated effect on work engagement through emotional processes moderating effects perceived fairness. Employing two survey studies (Study 1 Study...

Current ocean wave observation is achieved by separate battery-powered sensing and signal transmission modules. Owing to the limited electrical supply information channel space, long-time span restricted only height period rather than whole profile are sent back receiver. In this work, a self-powered system was developed polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC)-based smart reflector powered tailored triboelectric nanogenerator embedded with one-way overrunning clutches. The off-shore modulated...

The concept of feeling trusted refers to trustee’s awareness trustor’s exposed vulnerability and positive expectations, which has received far less concern comparing with trusting. limited research merely centered on employee by their leaders its influences work-related outcomes, but there exists little work the focus impacts leader employees. Grounded in theories appropriateness moral licensing, this sheds spotlight explaining why leaders’ sense being employees brings about both negative...

Leaders are encouraged to show benevolence followers in the paternalistic culture, and yet there remains debate about influence of benevolent leadership on follower performance. Drawing too-much-of-a-good-thing effect approach (Pierce & Aguinis, 2013), we proposed tested curvilinear relationship between team performance, as well moderating role commitment this relationship. Using multi-source lagged data collected from 381 employees working 104 research development teams, results...

Drawing on the elaboration-categorization model, this study explored link between cognitive diversity and innovation work behavior (IWB) by focusing mediating role of team reflexivity conflict moderating perceived support for innovation. Using a multi-source, time-lagged sample including 101 management teams in 10 Chinese manufacturing companies, we found to be related IWB boosting task relationship conflict, but also that regard it may fail giving rise social conflict. Specifically, whereas...

In the field of organizational behavior, task conflict has always been regarded as an important variable affecting creative outcomes. However, previous studies have yielded inconsistent results relationship between and outcomes with some finding negative associations but others holding positive or even proving no significant relationship. By integrating minority dissent theory too-much-of-a-good-thing effect approach, we proposed tested curvilinear idea generation, well mediating role...

Promotion, a part of the organization incentive and reward systems, drives employees to perform well commit lot organizations. But we still know very little about “promotion outcome—work state” relationship its underlying mechanisms. Integrating resource-based perspective attribution theory, propose test how when promotion failure has detrimental effects on employee work engagement through cognitive emotional resources Besides, also examine boundary role overall fairness perception. On basis...

Previous research addressed territoriality from an individual level and highlighted the importance of extending analysis to teams or organizations. Though with its great value, less is known about how define team uncover influences on processes outcomes. Grounded in appropriateness framework, this study captured climate (i.e., territorial climate), tested relationship between performance, explored mediating roles help giving seeking. We further proposed that would interact intra-team...
