The Spillover Effect of Short-termism:The Impact of Colleagues'Bottom-line Mentality on Employee Innovation from a Relational Energy Perspective
The pursuit of survival and profitability are the foundation of enterprise development.To avert market obsolescence,numerous enterprises markedly prioritize profitability goals.This often culminates in employees collectively adopting a pronounced'bottom-line mentality',characterized by an excessive focus on profit objectives at the expense of other aims,and potentially,ethical standards.Such a mentality among colleagues can foster an environment overly fixated on performance outcomes,which may adversely affect their propensity for innovation within the work process.Based on the resource conservation theory,this study investigates the influence of colleagues'bottom-line mentality on employees'innovative behavior.Analyzing data from 312 employees across three distinct time points yielded the following findings:1)There is no significant correlation between colleagues'bottom-line mentality and employee innovative behavior;2)Nonetheless,the bottom-line mentality of colleagues can indirectly affect employees'innovation through relational energy;3)The role breadth responsibility moderates the impact of colleagues'bottom-line mentality on employee innovative behavior via relational energy.Specifically,when role breadth is limited,the negative influence of colleagues'bottom-line mentality on employee innovation is through relational energy.This research offers theoretical insights into the underlying mechanisms of how colleagues'bottom-line mentality impacts employee innovation and provides practical guidance for management.
