Peer voice endorsement is widespread in the workplace. Drawing on social information processing theory and sociofunctional view, this paper proposes that observers' (both negative and positive) psychological and behavioral responses to peer voice endorsement depend on their instrumental attribution for peer voice. Specifically, when observers have a higher level of instrumental attribution, peer voice endorsement is more positively associated with status threat, in turn affecting observers' negative gossip. When observers have a lower level of instrumental attribution, peer voice endorsement is more positively associated with perceived peer competence, which in turn affects observers' role modeling proactive behavior. These results are largely supported by data from a multi-wave field study and two experimental designs. The theoretical and practical implications of this study and future research directions are presented.

观察者对同伴声音认可反应的双路径模型：工具归因的作用

同事的声音认可在工作场所很普遍。借鉴社会信息处理理论和社会功能观点，本文提出观察者（消极和积极）对同伴声音认可的心理和行为反应取决于他们对同伴声音的工具归因。具体来说，当观察者具有较高水平的工具归因时，同伴声音认可与地位威胁更正相关，进而影响观察者的负面八卦。当观察者的工具归因水平较低时，同伴声音认可与感知的同伴能力呈更正相关，这反过来又影响观察者的角色建模主动行为。这些结果在很大程度上得到了多波现场研究和两个实验设计的数据的支持。介绍了本研究的理论和实践意义以及未来的研究方向。
