摘要：Servant leadership has been found to motivate followers to express constructive voice, but why is this the case? Studies so far have identified a “can do” mechanism that enables followers to speak up and a “reason to” mechanism that promote their willingness to do so. Nevertheless, these mechanisms have not considered the role of servant leadership in energizing both leaders and followers, which facilitates followers’ constructive voice through an “energized to” mechanism. This study aims to unpack the “energized to” mechanism to understand how and when servant leadership can motivate followers’ constructive voice. Drawing from conservation of resources theory, we propose that servant leadership can contribute to both leaders’ and followers’ energy, particularly among leaders with higher self-regulation ability. In turn, elevated energy levels in leaders and followers will promote followers’ constructive voice. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a time-lagged supervisor–subordinate matched survey. Results show that servant leadership increases both leaders and followers’ energy and then followers’ constructive voice, but this effect is observed only among leaders with high self-regulation ability. This research offers new insights into how and when servant leadership not only energizes followers but also benefits the leaders themselves.

研究发现，公仆式领导可以激励员工表达建设性建言，但为什么会出现这种情况呢？迄今为止的研究已经确定了一种使员工能够畅所欲言的“能做”机制和一种促进他们愿意这样做的“有理由”机制。然而，这些机制并没有考虑公仆式领导在激励领导者和追随者方面的作用，从而通过“有能量做”机制促进追随者发出建设性的声音。本研究旨在解开“有能量做”机制，以了解公仆式领导如何以及何时能够激发追随者的建设性声音。根据资源保存理论，我们提出公仆式领导可以为领导者和追随者的能量做出贡献，特别是对于具有较高自我调节能力的领导者。反过来，领导者和追随者能量水平的提高将促进追随者发出建设性的声音。为了检验这些假设，我们进行了一项多时间点的主管-下属匹配调查。结果表明，公仆式领导会增加领导者和追随者的能量，进而增加追随者的建设性建言，但这种效果仅在自我调节能力较高的领导者中观察到。这项研究提供了关于公仆式领导如何以及何时不仅激励追随者而且使领导者本身受益的新见解。
