社会关系影响团队绩效的微观机制:一个社会激励框架

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 类似血缘、学缘等先于组织的社会关系进入组织后,通常被认为能以社会资本的形式正向影响组织/团队绩效,然而,社会关系进入组织/团队后如何影响个体行为,并进一步塑造团队绩效,却鲜有关注。针对社会关系影响团队绩效的微观机制,研究剖析了社会关系通过社会比较对个体行为选择的努力程度和合作导向的影响,并进一步分析了不同任务可分解性对团队绩效的塑造作用,建立了社会关系影响团队绩效的社会激励框架。研究结果显示:首先,社会关系同时正向影响个体行为选择的努力程度和合作导向;其次,努力程度与合作导向均正向影响团队绩效,但在企业规模较小的情境下,努力程度的正向作用强于合作导向;最后,任务可分解性负向调节个体行为选择与团队绩效的关系。研究揭示了社会关系影响团队绩效的社会激励机制,为优化组织任务和组织结构两者匹配提供了新视角。

Abstract: Social relationships such as blood ties and academic connections that come before an organization are generally considered to have a positive impact on organizational/team performance in the form of social capital. However, there is little attention paid to how social relationships affect individual behavior and further shape team performance after entering an organization/team. This study analyzes the micro mechanism by which social relationships affect team performance. It examines the impact of social relationships on individual behavioral choices, effort levels, and cooperation orientation through social comparison. Furthermore, it examines the shaping effect of task decomposability on team performance and establishes a social incentive framework for the influence of social relationships on team performance. The research results show that: firstly, social relationships have a positive impact on the effort level and cooperation orientation of individual behavioral choices; Secondly, both effort level and cooperation orientation have a positive impact on team performance, but in the context of smaller enterprise scale, the positive effect of effort level is stronger than that of cooperation orientation; Finally, task decomposability negatively moderates the relationship between individual behavioral choices and team performance. This study reveals the social incentive mechanism by which social relationships affect team performance, providing a new perspective for optimizing the matching of organizational tasks and organizational structure.

Key words: team performance, social relations, social incentives, behavioral choice, task decomposability
