The culture of human society has always advocated work as a mission. At present, the question about
how to inspire leaders’ work calling is the great challenge that managers in the organization face, also is the hot
issue of theoretical research. This study aims to explore the antecedent variable of leaders’ work calling. Based
on the impression management theory, this paper constructs the internal path model of subordinate voice
behaviors acting on leaders’ work calling. The questionnaire survey data of 220 subordinates and 60 leaders
were analyzed by multiple regression analysis method, and the results showed that: subordinate voice behaviors
would positively affect leaders’ work calling; Job crafting towards strengths and interests mediates the positive
relationship between subordinate voice behaviors and leaders’ work calling; leadership effectiveness negatively
moderates the relationship between subordinate voice behavior and job crafting towards strengths and interests.
The higher the leadership effectiveness, the weaker the influence of subordinate voice behaviors on leaders’ work
calling via job crafting towards strengths and interests.The research conclusion not only further enriches and
expands the relevant theoretical research on the formation mechanism of leaders’ work calling, but also provides
practical reference for how to improve leaders’ work calling.
