摘要
Purpose The aim of the present study was to examine the association of subordinate-oriented strengths-based leadership (SSBL) with subordinates' job performance (task performance and innovative behavior) as well as the meditating role of supervisor-subordinate guanxi (SSG) in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Self-report data on SSBL, SSG, task performance and innovative behavior were gathered from 642 Chinese employees working in various Chinese enterprises. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings The results indicated that SSBL is positively related to subordinates' job performance (task performance and innovative behavior). Furthermore, SSG partially mediated the relationship of SSBL with task performance and with innovative behavior. Originality/value This study is the first to empirically examine the relationship of SSBL with job performance. In addition, this study adds to the knowledge on the SSBL-job performance linkage by investigating the mediational effect of SSG on the relationship.
