The level of organizational self-esteem of employees, whether on the production line or as managers or directors of enterprises, does not only correlate with individual performance but has also become a key factor in determining the completion of team core tasks. Based on the theory of self-consistency, this study explores the correlation between negative workplace gossip and employees' organizational self-esteem by revealing the intermediary role of workplace exclusion and poor-order atmosphere. A survey of 228 employees from enterprises in Shandong and Shanghai showed that negative workplace gossip exerted a significant negative impact on employees' organizational self-esteem, suggesting that negative workplace gossip reduces employees' organizational self-esteem in the context of Chinese organizations. In addition, workplace exclusion exerted a complete intermediary effect between negative workplace gossip and employees' organizational self-esteem, and poor-order atmosphere perception played a partial intermediary role. This study uncovers the black box that negative workplace gossip affects employees' organizational self-esteem and has a strong enlightening significance for management practice.
员工的组织自尊水平，无论他们是在生产线上，还是作为企业的经理或董事，不仅与个人绩效相关，而且已成为决定团队核心任务完成情况的关键因素。基于自我一致性理论，本研究通过揭示工作场所排斥和不良秩序氛围的中介作用，探讨负面职场八卦与员工组织自尊之间的相关性。对来自山东和上海企业的228名员工进行的调查显示，负面职场八卦对员工的组织自尊产生了显著的负面影响，这表明在中国组织背景下，负面职场八卦会降低员工的组织自尊。此外，工作场所排斥在负面职场八卦与员工组织自尊之间发挥了完全中介作用，而对不良秩序氛围的感知则起到了部分中介作用。本研究揭示了负面职场八卦影响员工组织自尊的黑箱，对管理实践具有很强的启发意义。
