Abstract

Abstract

Based on conservation resources theory, this study analyzed the impact of service leadership on work-family facilitation, and employed psychological safety and power distance orientation as the mediator to test the hypothesis. The research results demonstrate that servant leadership has significant positive impact on work-family facilitation through individual psychological security, but power distance orientation can adjust the effect. The specific performance is: for employees with higher level of power distance orientation, the positive effect of service-oriented leadership on their psychological security will be weakened, which weakens the service-oriented leadership on the positive effect of employees' work-family facilitation. On the contrary, for the employees with lower power distance orientation, the positive effect of service-oriented leadership on their psychological safety will be enhanced, thus enhancing the positive impact of service-oriented leadership on employees' work-family facilitation.
