正向主管獎賞行為如何影響員工的工作表現？目標接受與組織承諾的中介角色

How Positive Leader Reward Behavior Influences Employees’ Task Performance? The Mediating Roles of Goal Acceptance and Organizational Commitment

雖然正向主管獎賞行為對於員工工作績效的影響已經被證實，但是其影響的過程卻仍不清楚。本研究發展了一個心理上預期與回饋的模型，用以解釋正向主管獎賞行為如何影響員工的工作表現。透過137組主管－部屬配對樣本的分析，我們的研究結果顯示，正向主管獎賞行為之所以能影響員工的工作績效，主要是透過目標接受與組織承諾兩個中介因子。最後，我們討論了本研究的理論意涵與未來研究方向。

Although the effect of positive leader reward behavior (PLRB) on employees’ task performance is well-documented, the mechanisms that explain that effect remain unclear. We developed a cognitive-psychological expectation and feedback-cognitive baseline model to explain how PLRB influences employees’ job performance. Based on the sample from 137 leader-follower dyads in Taiwan, our results show that PLRB affected task performance through the mechanisms of goal acceptance and organizational commitment. Implications for the theory and practices of leadership are discussed, and future research directions are offered.
