摘要
The current paper aims to explore the effect of authentic leadership on employee job behaviors (e.g. voice and innovation behaviors) through the lens of identification. Specifically, based on data collected from a sample of 201 employees at two points in time and drawing from research on authentic leadership and social identity theory, this study examined how authentic leadership affected employee voice and innovation behavior. We found that relational and organizational identification played a significant chain-mediating role in the relationship between authentic leadership and employee innovation behavior, but not in the relationship between authentic leadership and employee voice. We also found that leader-member exchange (LMX) positively moderated the relationship between authentic leadership and employee relational identification. These findings contribute to research on authentic leadership and identification. The limitations of this study and future directions are also discussed.
