摘要: 领导者展现幽默行为并不意味着其总是采取亲切友好的行为表现, 同一位领导者的人际表达方式可能在短时间内由风趣幽默转变为令人不适。然而, 领导者为何会在日常互动中呈现出这种“阴晴不定”的行为变化尚不明确。本文整合资源保存理论和自我决定理论, 从行为者中心视角出发, 构建了领导幽默对领导人际偏差行为的双刃剑效应模型, 从而为领导者“阴晴不定”现象提供一种解释。对来自116名领导者1, 004个观察值的多层次路径分析发现:(1)当日领导幽默通过当日领导状态损耗与当日领导人际偏差行为存在正向间接关系, 当领导特质正念和领导角色自我同情高时, 上述间接关系得到弱化; (2)当日领导幽默通过当日领导关系需求满足与当日领导人际偏差行为存在负向间接关系, 当领导特质正念和领导角色自我同情高时, 上述间接关系得到强化。我们的发现揭示了领导幽默对领导人际偏差行为的双刃剑效应, 为理解领导幽默提供了有力支撑。
