The Impact of Gender Similarity, Racial Similarity, and Work Culture on Family-Supportive Supervision
研究了上下级之间性别和种族相似性如何影响上级对下级的家庭支持，发现相似性越高支持越多，且家庭支持型组织文化有正向作用但未削弱相似性效应。
This study examines the relationship between demographic similarity in the supervisor-subordinate dyad and family-supportive supervision. The authors found that supervisors provided more family support to subordinates who were similar in either gender or race than to those subordinates who were dissimilar. In addition, family-supportive supervision was highest when subordinates were similar to supervisors in both gender and race. A family-supportive organizational culture was positively related to family-supportive supervision, although contrary to what was predicted, it did not attenuate the effects of gender similarity and racial similarity on family-supportive supervision. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.
