Abstract

Based on attachment theory, evolutionary psychology theory and social information processing theory, this paper constructed a research model of the relationship between employee attachment style and employee silent behavior. A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine the relationship between employee attachment style and silent behavior, the mediating role of psychological security and the moderating role of subordinates' caring behavior. The results show that employee attachment style has a positive relationship with employee silent behavior. Employee attachment anxiety and employee attachment avoidance had significant positive relationship with employee silent behavior, and psychological security played a partial mediating role. The behavior of caring for subordinate leaders negatively moderates the relationship between employees' psychological security and their silent behaviors, that is, the higher the quality of caring for subordinate leaders, the weaker the negative correlation between employees' psychological security and their silent behaviors.

Conclusion

The research reveals the mechanism and boundary conditions of employee attachment style on employee silence, enriches the related theoretical research results, and provides practical and theoretical guidance for enterprises to effectively reduce employee silence.
