Using matched four-stage data from 477 team members and their 132 team leaders in Chinese companies, we examined a cross-level model in which group- and individual-focused transformational leadership (TFL) and their influence on team and member performance from the perspective of multilevel model of motivation in teams. The results indicated that group-focused TFL exerts positive effects through sequential mediation of team efficacy and team process whereas individual-focused TFL has a positive effect on team members' performance through sequential mediation of followers' self-efficacy and individual regulation process. In addition, we also find significant cross-level mediation effects demonstrating that group-focused TFL was positively related to self-efficacy through the mediator of team efficacy, team efficacy was positively related to the individual regulation process through the mediator of the team process, team process was positively related to individual performance through the mediator of the individual regulation process. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.
利用来自中国公司477名团队成员及其132名团队领导的匹配四阶段数据，我们从团队动机的多层次模型视角检验了一个跨层次模型，其中包括以团队和个人为重点的变革型领导（TFL）及其对团队和成员绩效的影响。结果表明，以团队为重点的TFL通过团队效能和团队过程的顺序中介发挥积极作用，而以个人为重点的TFL通过追随者的自我效能和个人调节过程的顺序中介对团队成员的绩效产生积极影响。此外，我们还发现了显著的跨层次中介效应，表明以团队为重点的TFL通过团队效能这一中介与自我效能呈正相关，团队效能通过团队过程这一中介与个人调节过程呈正相关，团队过程通过个人调节过程这一中介与个人绩效呈正相关。本文讨论了理论和应用意义。
