内容简介:

Integrating affective events theory and the “emotion as social information” model, the study tests the crossover effects of leaders’ microbreaks to explain how microbreaks influence not only the actors themselves but also their followers. An experience sampling method was used to collect three daily surveys from 118 leader–member dyads (236 employees) for five workdays (n = 511 observations). Multilevel path analysis showed that on days when leaders took more microbreaks in the morning working hour, they had higher levels of state positive affect in the afternoon, which in turn was linked to greater transformational leadership behavior (as reported by followers) as well as better followers’ job satisfaction in the afternoon. Overall, the findings suggest that leaders’ microbreaks can be positive affective events for both leader and follower. Importantly, leader– member exchange (LMX) moderates (strengthens) the indirect effects of leader microbreaks on the two dependent variables via the leader’s increased positive affect. The indirect effects of leader microbreaks on transformational leadership behavior and follower job satisfaction via the leader’s positive affect appear to be much stronger for employees in a high LMX condition than for employees in a low LMX condition. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
