Based on social learning theory and the trickle-down effects, in which behavioral patterns cascade from one management level to the next (also known as the falling domino effect), we attempt to answer whether upper-level managers' temporal leadership can be transferred to lower-level managers to form their temporal leadership, and what the mediating mechanisms and boundary conditions for this occurrence are. By analyzing the data from 234 middle-level managers and 686 junior managers/employees, we found that top managers' temporal leadership was positively associated with middle-level managers' temporal leadership through the mediating role of middle-level managers' temporal leadership perspective and that the relationship was moderated by middle-level managers' identification with the top manager. Identification with the top manager, in particular, strengthens both the top manager's positive effect on middle-level managers' temporal leadership and the top manager's temporal leadership's mediating role in this relationship through their temporal leadership perspective. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are investigated.
基于社会学习理论和涓滴效应（即行为模式从一个管理层面逐级向下传递，也称为倒下的多米诺骨牌效应），我们试图回答高层管理者的时间领导力是否能够传递给低层管理者以形成他们的时间领导力，以及这种情况发生的中介机制和边界条件是什么。通过分析来自234名中层管理者和686名基层管理者/员工的数据，我们发现高层管理者的时间领导力通过中层管理者的时间领导力视角这一中介作用与中层管理者的时间领导力呈正相关，并且这种关系受到中层管理者对高层管理者认同的调节。特别是，对高层管理者的认同通过中层管理者的时间领导力视角，既加强了高层管理者对中层管理者时间领导力的积极影响，也加强了高层管理者时间领导力在这种关系中的中介作用。我们对这些发现的理论和管理意义进行了探讨。
