Drawing upon broaden-and-build theory, this study examined the influence of positive leadership on employee engagement through the mediating role of employees' state positive affect and the moderating effect of individualism-collectivism orientation in a Chinese cultural context. A sample of 215 valid questionnaires was obtained through a two-wave survey of 48 teams working in central China. Hypotheses were tested by a method of hierarchical linear modelling. The results indicate that positive leadership promotes employees' state positive affect and engagement. State positive affect partially mediates the association between positive leadership and employee engagement. Moreover, a multilevel moderation analysis reveals that collectivism weakens the effect of positive leadership on employees' state positive affect. Theoretical and managerial implications and future directions are discussed.
基于拓展与建构理论，本研究在中国文化背景下，考察了积极领导通过员工的积极情绪状态的中介作用以及个人主义—集体主义取向的调节作用对员工敬业度的影响。通过对中国中部地区48个团队进行两阶段调查，获得了215份有效问卷样本。采用分层线性建模方法对假设进行了检验。结果表明，积极领导能够促进员工的积极情绪状态和敬业度。积极情绪状态部分中介了积极领导与员工敬业度之间的关系。此外，多层次调节分析表明，集体主义减弱了积极领导对员工积极情绪状态的影响。文章还讨论了理论和管理意义以及未来的研究方向。
