摘要

当前,企业管理者愈发重视对组织内团队及员工敏捷性的培养以应对动荡的环境。企业社交媒体的出现为提升团队及员工的敏捷性带来了可能,但学界对于企业社交媒体如何影响团队及员工的敏捷性还缺乏深入理解。基于团队凝聚力理论,从团队-个体的多层次视角剖析了团队凝聚力在企业社交媒体使用影响团队及员工敏捷性的中介机理以及团队互依性的调节效应。对84位团队领导及386位团队成员的多时间点、多来源数据进行检验,结果表明:企业社交媒体使用通过增强团队凝聚力,对团队及员工敏捷性均产生了积极影响;团队互依性正向调节了团队凝聚力对团队及员工敏捷性的积极影响。结果丰富了企业社交媒体和敏捷性领域的现有研究,并为企业运用企业社交媒体提升敏捷性的管理实践提供了指导。

Abstract

At present, the international political and economic situation is complicated, and the global economic recovery is weakening, creating an increasingly volatile and uncertain external environment for business. To survive this crisis, organizational managers are paying increasing attention to training team agility and employee agility. Enterprise social media (ESM), an indispensable digital technology in today’s enterprises, is recognized as an effective enabler of communication, collaboration, and social relationships within organizations. It also offers enterprises a greater possibility of enhancing the capabilities of teams and employees. Despite this, there is still a lack of in-depth discussion on how ESM usage affects team agility and employee agility. In order to effectively promote agility, it is necessary to explore whether and how the use of ESM affects team agility and employee agility in the context of ESM. Based on the team cohesion theory, we propose a multilevel model to examine how team ESM usage affects team agility and employee agility by promoting team cohesion and how team interdependence moderates the impacts of team cohesion on team agility and employee agility.

To test the proposed theoretical model and research hypotheses, we conducted a multi-wave and multi-source questionnaire survey through a professional survey agency. At Time 1, team subordinates reported on team ESM usage and team interdependence and diversity, and provided demographic information. At Time 2, team subordinates rated team cohesion. At Time 3, team leaders rated their subordinates’ agility and team agility. All measurement items were adapted from prior related studies. We received 386 team leader-team subordinate valid paired samples in 84 work teams for hypothesis testing. We calculated Cronbach’s α, average variance extracted, and conducted confirmatory factor analyses to evaluate the reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity, respectively. The multilevel structural equation modelling method was used to assess the structural model in Mplus 7.4 software.

The results of the data analysis support our research model and hypothesis. Results showed that: (1) Team ESM use had a significantly positive effect on team cohesion (r =.47, p <.001); (2) Team cohesion has a significantly positive effect on both team agility (r =.35, p<.05) and employee agility (r =.58, p <.001); (3) Team interdependence positively moderates the effects of team cohesion on team agility (r =.27, p<.01) and employee agility (r =.17, p <.01); (4) Team cohesion mediated the the influence of team ESM use on team agility (r =.18, 95%CI = [.02,.40]) and employee agility (r =.19, 95%CI = [.03,.35]).

Our study made contributions to the theory. First, this study explores in depth the impact of ESM use on team agility, thus effectively expanding the research on the antecedents of team agility. Second, this study integrates ESM research into agility at both the team and individual levels and adopts the team cohesion theory to reveal the mediating mechanism of ESM use affecting team agility and employee agility, so as to advance the existing research on the relationship between ESM and agility. Third, this study enriches the research on team interdependence to a certain extent by exploring the moderating effect of team cohesiveness on team agility and employee agility.

This study has several limitations. First, the data in this study is collected in China. Considering the essential differences in the cultural backgrounds of China and the West, the use of ESM and its impact may differ. Therefore, future studies should be conducted under different research backgrounds to compare the influence of ESM use on employee and team agility in different cultural backgrounds. This can improve the external validity of research conclusions. Second, although this study conducted a multi-wave and multi-source questionnaire survey to collect data, the questionnaire survey method is inevitably subjective. Third, since the time interval between waves in this study was only one week, future studies should extend it to better predict the causal relation between variables.
