Drawing on social exchange theory, the current research hypothesizes voice climate as a mediator of the relationship between team-member exchange (TMX) and both team decision-making effectiveness and ...innovative performance. Furthermore, we propose that task interdependence moderates the mediational relationship between TMX, voice climate, team decision-making effectiveness, and innovative performance. Survey results based on 294 members and their leaders from 73 entrepreneur teams demonstrated that TMX is positively related to voice climate and the two outcome variables. In addition, the relationships between TMX and both decision-making effectiveness and innovative performance are mediated by voice climate perceptions, respectively. Task interdependence moderated the relationship between TMX and voice climate, whereas moderated-mediation analyses indicated that the mediational relationship between TMX, voice climate, and both outcomes is stronger when task interdependence is high rather than low.
Drawing on the notion that felt obligation is an important motivation variable that drives employees’ behavior, this study examines how leaders can evoke felt obligation in followers and to what ...extent such obligation can subsequently promote follower voice behavior. Using data from 384 Chinese employees and their 130 managers, we find that followers’ felt obligation to the leader (FOTL) serves as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee voice behavior and that the mediation effect of FOTL is moderated by followers’ power distance orientation (PDO), such that the mediation effect is significant only for employees with low PDO. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
Although advice seeking has attracted increasing attention from scholars, research exploring the antecedents of advice seeking remains relatively sparse. To address this gap, this study focuses on ...evaluation sensitivity as an antecedent of advice-seeking behavior. We propose that the positive relationship between evaluation sensitivity and advice seeking is mediated by self-uncertainty, and that this mediation effect is in turn moderated by peer exclusion. Data were collected from 291 undergraduate students in eastern China through three waves. Analysis of these data revealed that evaluation sensitivity was positively related to advice seeking, and that this relationship was mediated by individuals’ self-uncertainty. Furthermore, peer exclusion moderated the indirect relationship between evaluation sensitivity and advice seeking via self-uncertainty, such that the indirect effect was significant only when peer exclusion was high.
Individuals have the tendency to discount rewards in the future, known as temporal discounting, and we find that sense of power (the felt capacity to influence the thinking and behavior of others) ...reduces such tendency. In Studies 1 and 2, we used both an experiment and a survey with organizational employees to demonstrate that power reduced temporal discounting. In Study 3, we replicated study 1 while exploring a unique cultural trait of
, or indifference to fame and wealth, across two ethnic groups (Han and Tibetan groups) in China. While power reduces temporal discounting, the relationship between the two may be leveraged by individual differences of optimism, frustration, and
. The results imply a more nuanced interpretation of how individual and situational factors can affect intertemporal choice.
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the market have become a buzzing trend. The current research proposed that consumers feel less empathy toward AI (vs. human) telesellers and thus tend to ...hang up on AI telesellers faster. Moreover, anthropomorphism (i.e., an individual tendency to attribute human qualities to nonhuman entities) moderates the above effect. Three studies provided evidence for the mediating role of empathy in the relationship between teleseller type and call duration and for the moderating role of anthropomorphism. We indeed found that the relationship between teleseller type and call duration via empathy is mitigated for consumers high in anthropomorphism.
•Consumers hang up on AI tele-sellers faster than their human counterparts.•Empathy toward tele-sellers serves as the underlying mechanism.•Consumers possessing higher anthropomorphism treat AI and human more similarly.

While employee voice is vital for organizational effectiveness, managers may, at times, disregard the constructive suggestions of their employees. Using three-wave survey data, we theoretically ...developed and empirically tested a dual-process model that specifies how voice endorsement is associated with the characteristics of employees and with the psychological processes of managers. Our findings suggest that proactive personality and task performance and of employees are positively associated with voice endorsement of managers. Meanwhile, managers' affect-based trust and cognition-based mediate these two relationships. We aim to contribute to the voice literature and provide practical implications to both employees and managers when giving and receiving voices.
Drawing on construal-level theory (CLT), this study observes that potential entrepreneurs perceive less risk and are more likely to evaluate an opportunity positively when the psychological distance ...is far rather than near. Two experimental studies are conducted using two samples. We further demonstrate the weaker influence of psychological distance on opportunity evaluation through risk perception when entrepreneurs are experienced and have longer prior start-up experience. We contribute by highlighting the value of integrating CLT into research on entrepreneurial opportunities and revealing the effect of the various dimensions of psychological distance on opportunity evaluation. Moreover, we uncover the interrelationships between psychological distance and risk perception and entrepreneurial experience.
•Entrepreneurs are more likely to evaluate an opportunity positively when the psychological distance is far than near.•The key mediating mechanism in between psychological distance and opportunity evaluation is perceived risk.•The influence of psychological distance on opportunity evaluation gets weaker when entrepreneurs are more experienced.
Emotional labour is an important but overlooked leadership function. In the present research, we draw from the self‐determination theory perspective and take a leader‐centric approach to examine how ...different leader emotional labour strategies affect leaders' own creativity. Using data collected from 118 leaders and 352 team members at three time points, we found that leader surface acting harmed leader creativity by reducing fulfillment of leader autonomy, while leader deep acting boosted leader creativity by increasing fulfillment of leader autonomy. Neither did leader surface acting nor deep acting influence leader creativity through competence or relatedness fulfillment. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the present research.
Female employees' experience of pregnancy can have an impact on their work performance and behavior. We investigate the impact of female employees' pregnancy status (whether pregnant or not) on their ...impression‐management motives (IMM) and their in‐role and extra‐role performance. We also examine the role of family‐supportive supervisor behavior (FSSB) in the relationship between employees' pregnancy status and their IMM. A three‐wave survey of 129 female employees (not pregnant: 74; pregnant: 55) and their direct supervisors in 52 organizations located in Eastern China revealed that female employees' pregnancy status had an indirect effect on their performance through IMM and that FSSB moderates this indirect relationship. Specifically, if female employees are pregnant, they have higher IMM, which is associated with higher performance when FSSB is lower. However, this indirect relationship is not significant for female employees who experience higher levels of FSSB. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
•A high level of original socioeconomic status can be beneficial to the transformational leader behavior at the workplace.•Leaders with high original socioeconomic status possess greater ...psychological capital, which promotes their transformational leadership.•Psychological capital is developable and its relationship with original socioeconomic status is influenced by current socioeconomic status.•The positive effect of original socioeconomic status on transformational leadership via psychological capital is contingent on the current socioeconomic status.
Leadership development has been characterized as an ongoing process that continues throughout a lifetime. From a long-lens perspective, this study aims to investigate how leaders’ early family socioeconomic environment influences their later transformational leadership. According to the social cognitive theory of social class, we propose that parental socioeconomic status (SES) promotes transformational leader behaviors via a positive psychological state. In the current study with 171 leaders and 684 matched subordinates, results indicated that high parental SES boosted leaders’ transformational behaviors by increasing their psychological capital, but this relationship was assuaged for leaders with high current SES. These findings contribute to the literature on transformational leadership, emphasize the importance of early life factors in leader emergence and development, and have implications for leadership development and future research.
