上下只會交征賊嗎？領導者與部屬的私交關係如何增進組織效益

Private Guanxi between Supervisor and Subordinate: How Private Guanxi Promote Organizational Effects?

相較於西方組織的理性制度，華人組織中普遍存在著泛家族主義的人際觀，這種文化所衍伸出來的上下私交關係，形成了華人組織獨特的管理風格。針對此議題，過去研究多以領導者角度切入，然而部屬如何看待職場中的上下私交關係？上下私交關係又會對部屬與組織帶來何種影響？卻缺乏探討。本研究以華人地區某連鎖餐飲企業的正職員工為研究對象，進行問卷資料收集，總共回收61家分店之有效樣本，包括61位主管與310位部屬的資料。結果發現：領導者與部屬之間的私交關係能夠增進部屬對分店的心理擁有感，進而提升部屬的績效表現、利組織行為，以及利同事行為；其次，此一中介歷程會隨著個體在組織中的非正式地位不同而有所差異，對組織中較為核心的個體來說，此段歷程的影響效果會較強。最後，則針對本研究發現與限制進行討論，並說明未來研究方向與管理實務意涵。 Compared with the completely rational system in western organizations, a pan-familism human relationship prevails in Chineseorganizations. Leaders in Chinese organizations resemble the patriarch of a family. Besides providing necessary resources for work,they attach great importance to personal relationships with subordinates.
