Abstract:
This study examined the impact of cognitive style congruence between leaders and followers on followers\' organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) by integrating the similarity-attraction and signaling theories. We collected dyadic data from 80 leaders and 223 followers in ten manufacturing companies in China. Using polynomial regression analysis and response surface modeling, the study supported the positive influence of cognitive style congruence on followers\' OCBs. Specifically, we found that dyads with more intuitive than analytical leader-follower cognitive styles had higher levels of OCBs. However, there were no significant differences in followers\' OCBs between dyads consisting of an intuitive leader and an analytic follower versus those consisting of an analytic leader and an intuitive follower under conditions of cognitive style incongruence. Additionally, the study found that interpersonal trust mediated the relationship between leader-follower cognitive style congruence and followers\' OCBs, offering valuable insights for promoting OCBs in the workplace.
摘要:
本研究通过整合相似性吸引和信号传递理论,研究了领导者和追随者之间的认知风格一致性对追随者的组织公民行为(OCB)的影响。我们收集了来自中国10家制造公司的80位领导者和223位追随者的二元数据。利用多项式回归分析和响应面建模,该研究支持认知风格一致性对追随者OCB的积极影响。具体来说,我们发现,具有比分析型更直观的领导者-追随者认知风格的二元组具有更高的OCB水平.然而,在认知风格不一致的条件下,由直觉领导者和分析追随者组成的二元组与由分析领导者和直觉追随者组成的二元组之间的OCB没有显着差异。此外,研究发现,人际信任介导了领导者-追随者认知风格一致性与追随者OCB之间的关系,为在工作场所推广OCB提供有价值的见解。
