The Influence of Platform Leadership on Employee Intrapreneurial Behavior:A Dual Mediation Model
Enterprise operations tend to be platform-oriented in the platform economy,and employees become intrapre-neurs.Platform leadership provides development opportunities for employees by building a career platform.Can platform leadership actively influence intrapreneurial behavior?What is the impact mechanism?A thorough study on this issue can help enterprises find effective ways to promote the development of"company platformization"and"employee-maker orien-tation".However,there is inadequate research in the existing studies.Hence,to further research on the impact mechanism of platform leadership on intrapreneurial behavior,this study proposes the relationship model of platform leadership and employee intrapreneurial behavior with psychological ownership and job crafting as the mediating variables and entrepreneurial culture as the moderating variable based on the proactive motivation model and job-environment matching model.It uses first-hand survey data from 354 employees from enterpri-ses in high-tech manufacturing,communication and IT industries,internet industries,new energy and new materials in-dustries as samples,and conducts empirical research on the mediating effects of psychological ownership and job crafting and moderating effect of entrepreneurial culture on the relationship between platform leadership and intrapreneurial behav-ior.Then it measures"platform leadership""intrapreneurial behavior""psychological ownership""job crafting"and"en-trepreneurial culture"on existing mature scales by the Likert's five-point scoring method,and conducts validity tests,ag-gregation tests,descriptive statistics,correlation analysis,and hypothesis tests on the data by SPSS.The conclusions are as presented.Firstly,platform leadership has positive effects on employee intrapreneurial behav-ior,indicating that platform leadership can effectively promote intrapreneurship and achieve"employee-maker orienta-tion".The career platform created by platform leaders creates opportunities for employees to start new businesses internal-ly and provides guarantees and resources for the success of intrapreneurship.At the same time,the value concept of plat-form leaders'shared growth and their tolerance for entrepreneurial failure make employees willing and dare to engage in in-trapreneurial activities.Secondly,psychological ownership and job crafting have partial mediating effects between plat-form leadership and employee intrapreneurial behavior,respectively,and psychological ownership has positive effects on job crafting;the two play a chain mediating role between platform leadership and employee intrapreneurial behavior.That is,platform leadership influences intrapreneurial behavior through a dual path,namely the psychological path of psycho-logical ownership and the behavioral path of job crafting.This means that broad job design provides employees with more work autonomy,allowing them to discover entrepreneurial opportunities through job crafting,and can better promote the role of platform leadership in influencing employees'intrapreneurship.Thirdly,entrepreneurial culture has positive mod-erating effects on the relationship between platform leadership and employee intrapreneurial behavior,which means that the higher the level of entrepreneurial culture,the greater the direct influence of platform leadership on employee intrapre-neurial behavior.Organizational situational factors are important because they influence employee motivation for proactive behavior,and the improvement of intrapreneurial initiative among employees requires a good entrepreneurial culture to provide support.This conclusion indicates that shaping a good entrepreneurial culture helps platform leadership exert its influence on employees'intrapreneurship.In summary,this study explores the positive impact of platform leadership on the intrapreneurial behavior of employ-ees based on the proactive motivation model.By introducing psychological ownership and job crafting,it further analyzes the psychological and behavioral pathways of the impact of platform leadership on employee intrapreneurial behavior,and confirms the dual mediating effects of psychological ownership and job crafting between platform leadership and intrapre-neurial behavior.In addition,the study clarifies the boundary role of organizational contextual factors in the impact of platform leadership on employee intrapreneurial behavior;with entrepreneurial culture as a moderating variable.it ex-plores the boundary conditions of the influence of platform leadership,and the research results show that organizational situational factors can affect the effectiveness of platform leadership on employee intrapreneurial behavior.Future research can compare the impact of platform leadership and other leadership styles on employee intrapreneurship,explore other im-pact paths,reveal the underlying mechanisms,and choose individual characteristic factors such as entrepreneurial ability and entrepreneurial attributes for further exploration.
