Research On The Influence Of Decent Work On Employee Taking Charge Behavior

Decent work was first proposed by the International Labor Organization at the International Labor Conference in 1999.Its purpose is to promote decent,productive and sustainable work opportunities under conditions of freedom,justice,security and human dignity.In the current era of variability,complexity and ambiguity,the situation of decent work in the workplace is not optimistic:endless problems such as employment discrimination and overtime work make the realization of decent work in the workplace still only an ideal.In the past,the research on decent work mainly focused on the macro level related to economic,social and public policy.With the concern of decent work in the field of individual psychology in recent years,the academic community has begun to explore the relationship between decent work and individual psychological variables.Although some progress has been made in research,there is still a lack of attention to the relationship between decent work and positive employee proactive behavior,especially the relationship between employee taking charge behavior.Moreover,in the complex and volatile external environment,enterprises also expect employees to change into self-active management and positive change,so as to actively adapt to the environment and promote organizational change and development.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the relationship between decent work and employee taking charge behavior.Therefore,this study introduces the the broaden-and-build theory to examine the positive impact of decent work on employee taking charge behavior.Different from previous research perspectives,this study,from the perspective of emotional theory,introduces work engagement as an intermediary and emotional intelligence as a moderating variable to explore the impact mechanism between decent work and employee taking charge behavior.Based on the review of the existing literature,this study collects questionnaires,and analyzes the collected 211 valid questionnaire data through SPSS 25.0 version and Mplus 7.0 version.The conclusions are as follows:(1)Decent work has a positive impact on employee taking change behavior;(2)Decent work has a positive impact on job involvement;(3)Work engagement has a positive impact on employee taking change behavior;(4)Work engagement plays a mediating role in the relationship between decent work and employee taking charge behavior;the higher the level of emotional intelligence,the stronger the positive impact of decent work on work engagement.This study has important theoretical value and practical significance.In terms of theoretical significance,first,it enriches the research on decent work at the level of organizational behavior,expands the research on the results of decent work and the antecedents of employee taking change behavior.Second,it enriches the theoretical perspective of decent work research.Thirdly,it clarifies the path of decent work on employee taking change behavior,and provides a strong support for exploring the black box of the mechanism between decent work and positive results from the perspective of employees’ psychology.Fourth,the new boundary mechanism of decent work has been explored.This paper attempts to incorporate employees ’ emotional intelligence into the model as a boundary mechanism between decent work and work engagement.It is expected that this study will provide reference for subsequent research on decent work.
