随着全球竞争的加剧、组织结构的扁平化和任务的日益复杂化，外部依赖工作团队的边界跨越行为越来越受到理论和实践的重视。目前的研究旨在回答的问题，是否，何时以及如何个人的BSB影响他或她在团队中的任务绩效。基于中国57个新产品开发团队的272名员工的样本，我们发现，非正式领导者的出现调解个人的BSB和他或她在团队中的表现之间的关系。此外，集团层面的权力距离正向调节BSB和非正式领导者出现之间的关联。BSB和群体权力距离（PD）之间的交互作用通过非正式领导的出现对任务绩效的影响的总体中介调节模型也得到了证实。特别是，BSB和任务绩效之间的关系，通过非正式的领导出现更强的团队与PD少比PD多。研究的意义进行了讨论。
Driven by fierce global competition, flatter organizational structures and the growing complexity of tasks, boundary spanning behavior (BSB) in externally dependent work teams has increasingly been emphasized in both theory and practice. The current study aims to answer the questions of whether, when and how an individual's BSB impacts his or her task performance within a team. Based on a sample of 272 employees from 57 new product development teams in China, we found that informal leader emergence mediated the relationship between an individual's BSB and his or her performance within a team. Moreover, group-level power distance positively moderated the association between BSB and informal leader emergence. An overall mediated moderation model of the effect of the interaction between BSB and group power distance (PD) on task performance via informal leadership emergence was also confirmed. In particular, the relationship between BSB and task performance via informal leadership emergence was stronger for teams with less PD than for those with more PD. The implications of the research are discussed.
