Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Based on social exchange theory and social cognition theory, this paper studies the effect of work-related identity discrepancy on proactive behavior of close-leadership employees through hierarchical regression analysis and examines the mediating effect of face-pressure and the moderating effect of benevolent leadership. This work surveyed 516 employees by questionnaire. The first round of survey mainly investigated employees in Changsha City, and the second round of survey mainly investigated employees' work-related identity discrepancy, face-pressure, benevolent leadership and proactive behavior in >10 regions. By tracking and matching, 396 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. Spss 22.0 was used to describe all the study variables; Mplus 7.0 is used to carry out a confirmatory factor analysis and a multi-path regression model. The difference in work-related identity discrepancy had a significant negative impact on proactive behavior. Face-pressure partially mediated the relationship between work-related identity discrepancy and proactive behavior. Benevolent leadership moderated the indirect relationship between work-related identity discrepancy, proactive behavior and face-pressure. We hope that the findings and discussions from this study will spark further exploration and practical application of enterprise management theories. In the context of leadership change, employee identity differences in perception can affect employee proactive behavior, especially for some close-leadership employees. Face-pressure in traditional Chinese culture has a prominent place. Managers should strive to foster an open and inclusive organizational atmosphere that promotes interaction and communication among employees, reduces the impact of negative factors like face pressure, and thereby stimulates employees' work initiative and innovative spirit. This enriches and deepens our understanding within the fields of organizational behavior and cross-cultural management.
