From the perspective of leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, we investigated how two forms of leadership style (uniform LMX (ULMX) and differential LMX (DLMX)) impact member participation in SOVCs. Furthermore, based on computer simulations we also examine the extent to which several contextual factors moderate the relationship between leadership style and member contributions. The key findings...

Two hundred thirty-two manager-subordinate dyads provided data on the effort expended toward the development of leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships, how such effort related to expectations about relationship quality, and intentions to exert future effort toward relationship development. For both managers and subordinates, higher quality LMX relationships were reported and expectations we...

Introduction: The research considers safety climate in a warehouse and wants to analyze the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) role in respect to safety performance. Griffin and Neal's safety model was adopted and Leader-Member Exchange was inserted as moderator in the relationships between safety climate and proximal antecedents (motivation and knowledge) of safety performance constructs (compliance...

Special Issue Samuel Goh Northern Kentucky University [email protected] Molly Wasko University of Alabama at Birmingham [email protected] Understanding the role of leadership in virtual world teams may help shed light on how to manage synchronous and highly interdependent work activities. Based upon leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, we propose that the relationship between a leader and a team ...

This paper discusses the influence of family supportive supervisor behavior (FSSB) on Work-family enrichment (WFE) of female university teachers and the mediating role of Leader-member exchange (LMX) through analyzing 183 valid questionnaires. The result shows that emotional support, role modeling and creative workfamily management have significant positive effect on female university teachers’...

This research investigated the link between ethical leadership and performance using data from the People’s Republic of China. Consistent with social exchange, social learning, and social identity theories, we examined leader–member exchange (LMX), self-efficacy, and organizational identification as mediators of the ethical leadership to performance relationship. Results from 72 supervisors and...

The present study integrates role theory, social exchange, organizational citizenship, and climate research to suggest that employees will reciprocate implied obligations of leadership-based social exchange (e.g., leader-member exchange [LMX]) by expanding their role and behaving in ways consistent with contextual behavioral expectations (e.g., work group climate). Using safety climate as an ex...
