The Impact of New Generation Employees'Affective Commitment on Leaders'Digital Leadership
Enterprise digital transformation requires leaders to possess digital leadership.Previous studies have overemphasized the roles of the organization and leader levels in enhancing digital leadership,thus neglecting the key role played by the new generation of employees who have grown up with the Internet.Based on Affective Events Theory,a moderated mediation model is constructed as a way to explore the mechanism of new generation employees'affective commitment on the digital leadership of leaders.Moreover,hierarchical regression and Bootstrapping method are used to conduct an empirical analysis on the two-stage matching data of 408 new generation employees.The results show that the new generation employees with high levels of affective commitment have a positive impact on leaders'digital leadership;new generation employees'prohibitive voice behavior and promotive voice behavior play a partial mediating role in the relationship between affective commitment and digital leadership;emotional intelligence enhances the positive relationship between prohibitive voice and digital relationsip,but the moderating role in the relationship between promotive voice and digital leadership was not significant.The results of this study not only enrich the research on the impact of new generation employees'affective commitment on digital leadership at the micro level,but also provide practical insights for organizations to pay attention to the factors of employees'affective dimension.
