摘要： 目的已有研究关注了上下级关系对员工创新的积极作用,对上下级关系中最具华人情境特色的情感关系及其对员工创新的双刃剑作用却鲜有关注。为此,整合交换理论的类亲情与类工具视角,探讨上下级情感关系通过责任知觉和心理依附影响员工突破式创新的双刃剑路径及边界。方法采用问卷调查法对480名员工展开两阶段数据采集,借助SPSS 26.0和Amos 24.0进行统计分析。结果上下级情感关系通过提高员工责任知觉正向影响员工突破式创新,领导积极语言框架强化了责任知觉的中介效应;上下级情感关系通过加深员工心理依附负向影响员工突破式创新,领导消极语言框架强化了心理依附的中介效应。结论情感视角是推动上下级关系在华人情境中研究进展的重要途径,责任知觉和心理依附共同构成了上下级情感关系对员工突破式创新的双刃剑路径,企业可以借力语言框架提升员工责任知觉和推动创新突破。

Abstract: In Chinese organizations where "guanxi orientation" is a typical feature, the superior-subordinate guanxi not only has high local research value, but is also closely related to the effective operation and innovation development of the organization. Previous studies only paid attention to the positive role of superior-subordinate guanxi on employee innovation, little attention has been paid to the emotional guanxi with the most Chinese situational characteristics and its double-edged sword effect on employee innovation. Many questions remain. For example, how to identify the emotional guanxi in the relationship between superiors and subordinates to promote the new progress of local research? Does supervisor-subordinate emotional guanxi have a positive effect on employees' breakthrough innovation just like supervisor-subordinate guanxi? Or are there negative effects? What are the internal mechanisms and boundaries? These bottlenecks make the defects of previous studies that ignored the relationship between superiors and subordinates and ignored its two sides increasingly exposed.
Integrating the perspective of "kinship-like" and "tool-like" of the exchange theory, this paper discusses the double-edged sword path and boundary of superior-subordinate emotional guanxi affecting employees' breakthrough innovation through felt responsibility and psychological attachment. We recruited 480 employees from Chinese enterprises in internet communication, intelligent manufacturing and financial securities industry to complete questionnaires using a two-wave research design. Employees were invited to report their perceived supervisor-subordinate emotional guanxi, leader's positive language framework and leader's negative language framework in the first data collection. Then, those participants who completed time 1 surveys were invited back to report their breakthrough innovation, felt responsibility, and psychological attachment. We employed SPSS 26.0 and Amos 24.0 to test our hypotheses.
The results of regression analyses showed that supervisor-subordinate emotional guanxi positively affected breakthrough innovation by improving felt responsibility, and leader's positive language framework strengthened the mediating effect of felt responsibility. Supervisor-subordinate emotional guanxi negatively affected breakthrough innovation by deepening psychological attachment, and the mediating effect of psychological attachment was strengthened by leader's negative language framework. The study promotes the research progress of superior-subordinate guanxi in the Chinese context from the emotional perspective, integrates the different perspectives of felt responsibility and psychological attachment, and deconstructs the double-edged sword effect of superior-subordinate emotional guanxi on breakthrough innovation.
