We study employee taking charge behavior in a team context and investigate how it influences social consequences in work teams. Drawing on the person perception perspective and the warmth–competence framework, we develop a theoretical model outlining how coworkers view and react to those team members who take charge more at work. We conducted two studies to test our model. Using a three-wave, multisource study with a round-robin design (Study 1), we find that members who take charge relatively more in their work teams tend to be perceived as more competent and are more likely to emerge as informal leaders; however, they are also likely to be seen as less warm and receive less coworker support, especially in teams with a low initiative climate. In a follow-up vignette experimental study (Study 2), we replicate the results in a more controlled setting and expand our understanding of the social consequences for employee taking charge behavior. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these results.

在工作中发起变革的风险和好处:主动负责的员工的社会后果

我们研究团队环境中的员工负责行为,并调查它如何影响工作团队中的社会后果。借鉴人的感知视角和热情-能力框架,我们开发了一个理论模型,概述了同事如何看待那些在工作中承担更多责任的团队成员并做出反应。我们进行了两项研究来测试我们的模型。使用循环设计的三波多源研究(研究 1),我们发现在工作团队中承担相对较多责任的成员往往被认为更有能力,更有可能成为非正式领导者;然而,他们也可能被视为不那么热情,得到的同事支持也较少,尤其是在主动性较低的团队中。在后续小插图实验研究(研究 2)中,我们在更可控的环境中复制结果,并扩大我们对员工负责行为的社会后果的理解。我们讨论了这些结果的理论和实践意义。
