摘要
为了揭示职场贪念成因及其后果的形成机制,文章从贪念“情境引发论”的角度,根据绩效考核带来的不确定性预期和资源保存动机,构建了职场贪念形成路径的链式调节中介模型:绩效考核增加了员工的工作不安全感,进而引发职场贪念,并最终导致渎职侵占行为;同时职业高原强化调节了绩效考核对工作不安全感的影响。通过问卷调研发现绩效考核对职场贪念及渎职侵占行为存在双重效应:一是促进效应,即相对而言,处于职业高原状态的员工,无论发展型绩效考核还是评估型绩效考核都会增加工作不安全感,并依次引发贪念和渎职侵占行为;二是抑制效应,即员工没有工作不安全感时,发展型考核可通过直接降低职场贪念,进而减少渎职侵占行为。对双重效应统计比较后发现,绩效考核对职场贪念及渎职侵占行为的促进效应要大于抑制效应。文章也据此侧面印证了职场贪念的“情境引发论”:在绩效考核引发了工作不安全感的组织情境中,产生贪念和渎职侵占行为,是员工面临资源流失预期的一种理性应对策略。
To reveal the formation mechanism of antecedents and consequences of workplace greed,from the perspective of the“situation-induced theory”of greed,the current study constructs a moderated chain mediation model based on the uncertain expectations brought by performance appraisal and resource conservation motivation.We find that performance appraisal increases employees' job insecurity,which in turn gives rise to greed in the workplace,and ultimately leads to malpractice and embezzlement.In this model,career plateau reinforces the impact of performance appraisal on job insecurity.The questionnaire survey shows that the performance appraisal has dual effects on workplace greed and malpractice and embezzlement:one is the promoting effect.Relatively speaking,for career-plateau employees,both developmental and evaluative performance appraisal will increase job insecurity,which in turn leads to greed,malpractice and embezzlement.The other is the developmental performance appraisal,which can directly cut down greed in the workplace,thereby reducing malpractice and embezzlement.The statistical analysis of the dual effects finds that the promoting effect of performance appraisal on workplace greed as well as malpractice and embezzlement is greater than the inhibiting effect.Accordingly,this study also indirectly confirms the“situation-induced theory”of greed in the workplace:greed and malfeasance and embezzlement in the workplace are rational coping strategies for employees facing the anticipation of a loss of resources.
