This present study tested whether job stress mediates the relationship between workload and safety behavior of members in organization. In addition, we hypothesized trust in leader/coworkers functions as moderator between not only the workload-job stress link, but also the job stress-safety behavior link. In order to investigate the hypotheses, 841 employees in various fields of companies were sampled. Using structural equation modeling(SEM), we conducted moderated mediation model analysis which elaborately investigated the significance of our hypotheses. The results indicated that job stress mediated the link between workload and safety behavior of members. In addition, the relationship between workload and job stress was moderated by trust in leader/coworkers. Moreover trust in leader/coworkers moderated the job stress-safety behavior linkage. The implications and limitations of our study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Although former scholarly studies mostly focus on exploring leadership effectiveness under the traditional hierarchical leader-subordinate relationship, the research of leadership performance for non-hierarchical organizational structures, particularly the mediating factors of higher-order goals, trust-in-leader, and self-efficacy have been ignored. This study, therefore, makes an attempt to ascertain the impacts of transformational leadership on the performance of subordinates through the mediating effects of higher-order goals, trust-in-leader, and self-efficacy and the differences of these effects in the context of multi-level marketing (MLM). Like the small-sample studies adopted by Barling, Weber, and Kelloway [1996], Barling, Slater, and Kelloway [2000] and Bass, Avolio, Jung, and Berson [2003], this study adopts a sample of 123 MLM distributors of an MLM company in Hong Kong, with a high response rate of 80.4%. The results indicate that the mediating effect of self-efficacy between transformational leadership and performance is significant under non-hierarchical organizational structures such as MLM in China.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a customized servant leadership by exploring the effects of stewardship and community building factors on the subordinates' trust in leader of lower hierarchy and their job engagement. Regression analysis showed that stewardship is higher than community building in terms of its influence on job engagement, while community building outstrips stewardship in terms of trust in leader. Specifically, two items of stewardship factor - valuing the opinions of the subordinates in decision-making, and sacrificing without giving priority to the leader's self-interest - influenced the subordinates' trust in their leader. Of the items in community building, cooperating rather than competition, abiding by the principles in performing the work, the leader's not seeking recognition or compensation, and giving the subordinates the necessary authority to perform their work put impacts on the subordinates' trust in the leader, as well. As for job engagement, helping subordinates grow and develop, and, if necessary, taking the risk of challenging the job have a significant impact. Among the items of community building, it was found that the leader's not seeking recognition or compensation, and keeping the principles strictly in performing her duties promote job engagement. Based on these results, we propose to managers of human resources department the selection and training of tailored talents to meet the environmental characteristics of each organization, while avoiding programs for hiring and training personnel equipped with the uniform qualities of servant leadership.
