Abstract
Paradoxical leadership is an effective way to deal with contradiction and tension problems in engineering management, but its effect on promotion job crafting has not been proved. Based on conservation of resources and regulatory focus theory, this paper build a moderated mediation model. Survey data from 226 employee in 18 Chinese enterprise at two times, SPSS and bootstrap analysis results showed that, paradoxical leadership positively influences employees promotion job crafting; situational promotion focus partially mediated the positive effects of paradoxical leadership on promotion job crafting; uncertainty tolerance positively moderates the effect of paradoxical leadership on employees' promotion job crafting, and moderated the mediating effect of promotion focus between the two. This paper expands the discussion on the antecedents of promotion job crafting, and enriches the research on paradoxical leadership. Provide a new reference for engineering management practice how use paradoxical leadership stimulates employee-promotion job crafting.
