Leader-member exchange and member performance: A new look at individual-level negative feedback-seeking behavior and team-level empowerment climate.

Chen, Ziguang, Lam, Wing, Zhong, Jian An·2007·Journal of Applied Psychology

Abstract

From a basis in social exchange theory, the authors investigated whether, and how, negative feedback-seeking behavior and a team empowerment climate affect the relationship between leader-member exchange (LMX) and member performance. Results showed that subordinates' negative feedback-seeking behavior mediated the relationship between LMX and both objective and subjective in-role performance. In addition, the level of a team's empowerment climate was positively related to subordinates' own sense of empowerment, which in turn negatively moderated the effects of LMX on negative feedback-seeking behavior.

  • Empowering leadership is theorised to build trust through positive exchange behaviours and leader vulnerability/confidence.

    “Empowering behaviours such as providing discretion and latitude over decision making constitute positive exchange behaviours. Furthermore, empowering ones followers makes a leader vulnerable and demonstrates confidence; key features of trust (Zhang & Zhou, 2014).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
