Abstract:

The effect of power on behavior has been a heated topic in the field of organization and management in recent years. Although lots of studies report that individual power in an organization promotes interpersonal conflict and competitive behavior, it is still unclear what mechanism the power uses and when it will increase the competitive behavior of the members of the organization. To compensate for the above shortcomings, based on the integration of power approach-inhibition theory and the self-evaluation theory, this paper uses two different research designs (i.e., experimental and survey studies) to explore the internal mechanism and boundary conditions of the effect of power on competitive behavior of organizational members. The results show that power indirectly affects the competitive behavior of organizational members through confidence (Studies 1 and 2), which is moderated by the perception of power legitimacy (Study 2). Specifically, when organizational members perceive that they own a high legitimacy of power, the positive mediating effect of power on competitive behavior through self-confidence is significant; when organizational members perceive that they own a low legitimacy of power, the above-mentioned mediating effect is not significant.

Key words:

power, perception of power legitimacy, confidence, competitive behavior

摘要:

权力的行为效应是近年来组织管理领域的热点话题。尽管组织中个体的权力会影响其竞争意识,但权力通过何种机制以及何时增加组织成员的竞争行为尚不明确。为弥补上述不足,在整合权力的接近-抑制理论和自我评价理论的基础上,通过实验和调查两种不同的研究设计探索了权力影响组织成员竞争行为的内在机制和边界条件。研究结果表明:权力通过自信间接影响组织成员的竞争行为(研究 1 和研究 2),这种间接效应又受到权力合法性感知的调节(研究 2)。当组织成员感知到权力合法性较高时,权力通过自信影响竞争行为的正向中介效应显著;当组织成员感知到权力合法性较低时,上述中介效应不显著
