碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 心理學所 === 97 === In recent years, studies have discussed the negative affectivities in the organizations. And supervisors’ negative affectivities were believed to have negative effects on subordinate. However, the relationship between supervisors’ negative affectivities and subordinate’s affective reaction remained unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the negative affectivities between supervisors and subordinates, especially supervisors’ anger and sadness. Moreover, we proposed that subordinates’ emotion regulation and emotion awareness will moderate the relationship between subordiate’s negative affectivities and effectiveness. We used 242 supervisor-subordinate dyadic data from various Taiwanese organizations, and the results indicated that: 1. Supervisors’ anger was positively associated with subordinate’s anger and sadness and supervisors’ sadness was positively associated with subordinates’ shame feeling; 2.The supervisors’ negative affectivities were negatively associated with suboridnate effectiveness, and subordinates’ negative affectivities were negatively associated with effectinveness as well; 3. Subordinates’ anger and sadness mediated the relationship between supervisors’ anger and subordinate effectiveness; 4. Subordinates’ emotion regulation and emotion awareness moderated the relationship between subordinates’ negative affectivities and effectiveness. Contributions and limitations are discussed, and suggestions are provided for future studies and managerial practices in Chinese organizations.
