組織成員地位通常是指組織內個體受組織其他成員尊重和欽佩的程度,是近些年備受關注的一個心理學構念。雖然組織成員地位與權力、階層、面子、基于組織的自尊等概念具有一定的關聯性,但它們之間存在著明顯的界限。組織成員地位主要受到外在顯性因素(形體特征、人口統計特征)、內在心理因素(人格、認知、情緒、行為)以及神經生理因素(睪酮激素、皮質醇激素)的影響,并能夠對組織成員的認知、情緒、行為和績效產生顯著的影響。未來研究應當進一步區分組織成員地位的維度,探索組織成員地位的生物學基礎和文化差異,關注組織成員地位的動態演化及其后果,并檢驗團隊和組織層面地位分布的作用機制。

The status of an organizational member usually refers to the extent to which the individual is respected or admired by other members of the organization. It is a psychological construct that has attracted much attention in recent years. Although the status of an organizational member is related to the concepts of power, class, mianzi and organization-based self-esteem, there are clear conceptual differences among these constructs. The status of an organizational member is mainly affected by external personal factors(physical and demographic characteristics), intrinsic psychological factors(personality, cognition, emotion and behavior) and neurophysiological factors(testosterone and cortisol). Status also has significant impact on organizational members’ cognition, emotion, behavior and performance. Future research should further distinguish between the unique dimensions of organizational members’ status, explore the biological basis and cultural differences of organizational members’ status, pay attention to the dynamic evolution of organizational members’ status and its consequences, and examine the effects of team and organizational members’ status distribution.
