Focus of Attention at Work and Leader‐Follower Relationships
通过三项研究调查了工作中注意力焦点对领导-下属关系的调节作用，发现对主管的高度关注增强领导行为与下属满意度和行为的关系，而对工作外因素的高度关注则增强满意度关系但削弱行为关系。
Abstract Three different studies examine moderating effects of focus of attention at work on leader‐follower relationships, using the typology developed by Howell, Dorfman, and Kerr (1986). Survey data were collected from over 1300 subjects. Results indicate that: (1) high focus on the supervisor while at work enhances leader behaviour‐subordinate satisfaction and behaviour relationships, (2) high focus on off‐job factors while at work enhances leader behaviour‐subordinate satisfaction relationships, and (3) high focus on off‐job factors while at work weakens leader behaviour‐subordinate behaviour relationships. Theoretical implications for the study of organizational behaviour are discussed, as well as practical issues for enhancing leader behaviour effectiveness in work organizations.
