Emerging research suggests that bottom‐line mentalities (BLMs) (i.e., a sole focus on bottom‐line outcomes to the exclusion of other considerations) can have dysfunctional consequences within the workplace. However, research has yet to consider how and why BLMs may result in both beneficial and dysfunctional organizational outcomes. In the present research, we examine employees’ perceptions of top management's BLM as a type of business frame that results in two cognitive states. Under the influence of this business frame, employees may adopt a mental preoccupation with work (i.e., a state of ongoing work‐related cognitions) that propels beneficial employee outcomes by reducing customer incivility and enhancing customer service performance. Yet, also in response to top management's high BLM as a business frame, employees may adopt self‐interest cognitions (i.e., a cognitive state of self‐interest) that instigate customer‐directed unethical conduct. Across two field studies, we found general support for our hypotheses. Taken together, our findings suggest that perceptions of top management's high BLM can be a mixed blessing in that it may drive employees to adopt focused work efforts (mental preoccupation with work), but also self‐interest cognitions, with each cognitive state predicting beneficial or dysfunctional behaviors. We discuss the implications of these findings and directions for future research.

关于为什么高层管理人员的底线心态会导致员工的好坏行为的业务框架视角

新兴研究表明,底线心态 (BLM)(即只关注底线结果而排除其他考虑因素)可能会在工作场所产生功能失调的后果。然而,研究尚未考虑 BLM 如何以及为什么会导致有益和功能失调的组织结果。在目前的研究中,我们考察了员工将高层管理人员的 BLM 作为一种导致两种认知状态的业务框架的看法。在这种业务框架的影响下,员工可能会在精神上专注于工作(即,一种与工作相关的持续认知状态),通过减少客户的不文明行为和提高客户服务绩效来推动有益的员工成果。然而,也为了响应高层管理人员的高 BLM 作为业务框架,员工可能会采用自利认知(即自利的认知状态),从而煽动以客户为导向的不道德行为。在两项实地研究中,我们发现我们的假设得到普遍支持。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,对高层管理人员的高 BLM 的看法可能是一种喜忧参半的看法,因为它可能会促使员工采取专注的工作努力(精神上专注于工作),但也有自利认知,每种认知状态都预示着有益或有益的。功能失调的行为。我们讨论了这些发现和未来研究方向的影响。我们的研究结果表明,对高层管理人员的高 BLM 的看法可能是喜忧参半,因为它可能会促使员工采取专注的工作努力(对工作的精神关注),但也有自利的认知,每种认知状态都预测有益或功能失调的行为。我们讨论了这些发现和未来研究方向的影响。我们的研究结果表明,对高层管理人员的高 BLM 的看法可能是喜忧参半,因为它可能会促使员工采取专注的工作努力(对工作的精神关注),但也有自利的认知,每种认知状态都预测有益或功能失调的行为。我们讨论了这些发现和未来研究方向的影响。
