摘　　要：尽管企业日益重视工作场所中乐趣活动的积极作用,但学界对乐趣活动影响机制的探索仍然不足,且研究结果存在分歧。本研究以资源保存理论为基础,探讨乐趣活动对员工创新行为的作用机制,尤其是工作投入的瞬时中介作用和工作自主性的调节作用,拓展了乐趣活动对员工工作态度、行为的非线性影响,为理解乐趣活动与员工创新行为间的关系提供了新视角。本文对三阶段时间滞后方法收集的领导和员工配对数据进行分析,结果表明:(1)乐趣活动与工作投入和员工创新行为均呈显著的倒U型关系;(2)工作投入在乐趣活动与员工创新行为之间发挥中介作用;(3)工作自主性调节了乐趣活动与工作投入的关系,以及工作投入的中介作用。研究结果解释了现有研究对乐趣活动与员工创新之间关系存在分歧的原因,并为管理者合理安排工作场所乐趣活动提供了新思路。Although companies pay more attention to the positive role of fun activities in the workplace,the influencing mechanism of fun activities is still not explored deeply,and controversies still exist among different researches.Based on conservation of resource theory,this study explores the mechanism of how fun activities influence employees’innovative behavior,especially the instantaneous mediating role of work engagement and the moderating effect of job autonomy,thus providing a broader perspective to understanding the nonlinear relationship between fun activities and employees’job attitude and behavior from a new point of view.Results from 3-phase time-lagged supervisor-employees matched data show that:1)Fun activities have an inverted U-shaped relationship with employees’work engage-ment and innovative behavior;2)Work engagement plays an instantaneous mediating role between fun activities and employees’innova-tive behavior;3)Job autonomy moderates the relationship between fun activities and work engagement,and the mediating effect of work engagement.The results provide insights into the divergence between fun activities and employees’innovative behavior in extant litera-ture,and put forward suggestions for managers on how to properly organize fun activities in the workplace.
