THE IMPACT OF SUBORDINATE DISABILITY ON LEADER-MEMBER EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIPS.
通过模拟实验和实地研究，发现下属的残疾状况与讨好行为共同影响领导-成员交换质量，且讨好行为对残疾下属的LMX评分影响更大。
[Excerpt] An organizational simulation (n = 85) and a field study (41 supervisors and 220 subordinates) were conducted to investigate the impact of subordinates' disability status on leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships. Both studies investigated how subordinate disability and ingratiation were related to LMX quality. As hypothesized, the interaction of disability and ingratiation affected LMX. Ingratiation had a stronger relationship to supervisors' LMX ratings when a subordinate had a disability. Implications of the results are discussed and suggestions for future research presented.
