我们开发并测试了一个多层次调节中介的理论模型，其中组织公正作为一种干预机制，解释了工作压力源（挑战和障碍）的两个维度和工作绩效的五个维度（任务绩效、帮助、声音、反生产行为和创造力）之间的关联，而不是压力的干预作用。我们还考虑了领导如何影响公正在压力源-工作绩效关系中的干预作用，通过它对压力源如何被解释为公平的影响。对339名员工及其主管的研究结果为该模型提供了跨绩效维度的支持。出乎意料的是，领导的调节作用被发现取决于领导的类型和压力源的类型。交易型领导者减少了障碍压力源对工作绩效的负面影响，因为他们削弱了障碍压力源与公平感之间的负面联系。另一方面，变革型领导者增强挑战压力源对工作绩效的积极影响，因为他们在挑战压力源和公平感之间建立了积极的联系。我们讨论了如何通过使用监管焦点的理论和研究来解释这种有趣的适度中介模式
We develop and test a theoretical model of multilevel moderated mediation in which organizational justice serves as an intervening mechanism that explains associations among two dimensions of work stressors (challenges and hindrances) and five dimensions of job performance (task performance, helping, voice, counterproductive behavior, and creativity) over and above the intervening role of strain. We also consider how leadership influences the intervening role of justice in the stressor–job performance relationships by virtue of the effect it has on how stressors are interpreted with regard to fairness. Results of a study of 339 employees and their supervisors provide support for this model across dimensions of performance. Somewhat unexpectedly, the moderating effect of leadership is found to be contingent on the type of leadership and the type of stressors. Transactional leaders reduce the negative effect of hindrance stressors on job performance because they weaken the negative link between hindrance stressors and justice perceptions. Alternatively, transformational leaders enhance the positive effect of challenge stressors on job performance because they foster a positive link between challenge stressors and justice perceptions. We discuss how this intriguing pattern of moderated mediation could be explained by using theory and research on regulatory focus
