Cross-domain Influence of Leaders'Experienced Family Events on Justice Rule Adherence
Improving leaders'justice rule adherence is an important way to enhance employees'perception of justice,thereby promote their positive attitudes and behaviors,and reduce negative attitudes and behaviors.Previous studies have been de-voted to exploring the factors and mechanisms that affect leaders'justice rule adherence,and have found that individual factors such as leaders'personality traits and justice motives have important impacts on leaders'justice rule adherence.In recent years,researchers have begun to turn to the situational perspective and have found that task and interpersonal factors may promote or inhibit leaders'justice rule adherence.However,these studies focus on relatively stable or continuously changing characterist-ics in the work domain,ignoring non-work factors such as family and the impact that discrete events may have on leaders'justice role adherence.Through integrating affective events theory and family-work enrichment theory,this study discusses the cross-domain in-fluence of positive family events experienced by leaders on justice rule adherence,the mediating role of positive affect at work and the moderating role of leaders'experienced negative family events.The empirical data of 470 observations from 68 middle-level managers of 3 merchant banks in 3 cities were collected by experience-sampling method.In order to test hypotheses,Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct multi-level CFA and path analysis,and R 4.0.3 software was used to conduct Monte Carlo analysis by 20 000 parameter sampling.The research results suggest that leaders'daily experienced positive family events will positively influence daily justice rule adherence by elevating positive emotions.Furthermore,leaders'daily experienced negative family events mitigate the strength of the above-mentioned indirect effect.The research results enrich the antecedents of leaders'justice rule adherence by extending situational antecedents of justice rule adherence from stable situations in work domain to discrete events in non-work domain.Besides,it expands the ap-plication of family-work interaction literature and affective events theory.Further,the research results also shed new light on what organizations can do to build a more just workplace through shaping and managing leaders'family environment.
