领导信息分享的内容、前因和结果研究：基于权力依赖和社会交换的视角

领导是组织的信息中心，通过领导的信息分享员工可以建构组织情境并高效完成工作任务。然而，现有文献中仅有少数对领导的信息分享行为进行探索和研究。本项目将首先确定领导信息分享行为的内容结构并开发测量工具，在此基础上从权力依赖和社会交换理论出发，采用定量研究探索组织中领导信息分享的形成机制和影响结果。本项目设计了四个子研究来达成研究目的。其中，研究一基于文献研究和企业访谈揭示领导信息分享的内容结构并为其开发量表；研究二和三采用实验设计分别检验领导信息分享的形成机制和影响结果；研究四采用问卷调研收集数据以检验工作团队中权力关系与领导信息分享之间的复杂动态关系，及对下属感知和团队协作的影响。本项目将开拓人们对组织中信息流动的认识和理解，其研究价值在于它将为领导信息分享的后续研究打下理论和实证基础。此外，本项目有较强的实践意义，即领导信息分享行为可以被管理者当做拉拢员工、促进团队合作的有效工具。

Leadership is an essential information source in organizations, and employees can construct organizational situation and complete task effectively through leader information sharing behavior. However, only a few studies have investigated on leader information sharing behavior. This project will first confirm the contents and dimensions of leader information sharing behavior and develop its measurement, and then employ quantitative research to explore the formation mechanism and effects of leader information sharing in organizations from the perspectives of power dependence and social exchange. Four sub-studies were designed to achieve the purpose of this project. In Study 1, the literature research and interviews are the basis to revealing the connotation and structure of leader information sharing, and its measurement scale will be developed. In Study 2 and 3, two experiments are designed respectively to test the formation mechanism and consequences of leader information sharing. In Study 4, questionnaire survey method is employed to test the complex and dynamic relationships between power relations and leader information sharing, and their influences on subordinates’ perceptions and team cooperation. This project will enhance people's understanding on the information flow in organizations, and its theoretical value lies in laying the foundation for the follow-up research on leader information sharing. Besides, this project has strong practical significances, which is that leader information sharing can be used as an effective tool for managers to cozy up to employees and promote team cooperation.
