Employees with a strengths mindset can capitalize on their strengths at work [20], which will make them more ready to complete given work tasks [60].

The current paper aimed to explore the linkage between employee strengths mindset and voice behavior, and considered the mediating roles of general self-efficacy and leader–member exchange (LMX) in the relationship. We collected data from 556 participants from various Chinese organizations with a multi-wave design. The results of structural equation modelling analysis showed that employee strengths mindset has a positive association with voice behavior, and employee general self-efficacy and LMX, respectively, mediate the relationship between strengths mindset and voice behavior. More importantly, employee general self-efficacy and LMX also simultaneously mediate the relationship between strengths mindset and voice behavior. The current study is the first to investigate the employee strengths mindset–voice behavior linkage, and reveals the cognitive and relational mechanisms underlying the strengths mindset and voice behavior relationship.

Drawing on conservation of resources theory, this study aims to explore the mediating role of employees’ strengths use and the moderating role of employees’ ambitions in the relationship between empowering leadership and employees’ taking charge behaviors. A total of 333 Chinese employees from various organizations across China (including industries such as manufacturing, IT, and education) completed our survey at two time points, with a two-week lag. We used structural equation modeling and moderated mediation path analysis to test our hypotheses. The research revealed that strengths use partially mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and employees’ taking charge behaviors, and ambition positively moderated the relationship between empowering leadership and strengths use, as well as the indirect relationship between empowering leadership and employees’ taking charge behaviors through strengths use. It extends the application field of strengths use, providing a new theoretical perspective on behavioral mechanisms for understanding the empowering leadership–employees’ taking charge behaviors relationship, and offers valuable strategies for organizations and leaders to promote employees’ taking charge behaviors more effectively.
