Family-Supportive Leadership,Technostress and Counterproductive Work Behavior Among New Generation Employees
Drawing on social cognitive theory,this study examined the influence of family-supportive leadership on counter-productive work behavior through the mediating role of employees'moral disengagement and the moderating effect of tech-nostress in a Chinese organizational context.A sample of 345 valid questionnaires was obtained through a two-wave survey of the new-generation employees working in China.Hypotheses were tested by a method of hierarchical regression analysis.The results indicate family-supportive leadership inhibits employees'moral disengagement and counterproductive work be-havior.Moral disengagement partially mediates the association between family-supportive leadership and counterproductive work behavior.Moreover,a moderated mediation analysis reveals that technostress weakens the effect of family-supportive leadership on employees'moral disengagement and the indirect effect of family-supportive leadership on employees'coun-terproductive work behavior through moral disengagement.The findings provide a theoretical basis and decision-making ref-erence for organizations to prevent and manage the counterproductive work behaviors of new-generation employees.
