Situational and Behavioral Moderators of Subordinate Satisfaction with Supervision
研究了主管行为(关怀、结构)与工作情境(角色清晰、角色冲突)如何共同影响下属对监督的满意度,发现情境因素会调节主管行为对监督满意度的影响,但对其他满意度指标无此作用。
The additive and interactive relationships of supervisor behaviors (con-sideration, initiation of structure) and work-setting attributes (role clarity, role conflict) relative to criteria of individual job satisfaction were investi-gated with bivariate and multivariate regression analyses. For a sample of 107 supervisor-subordinate dyads, results indicated that situational attributes moderated the influence of supervisor behaviors on satisfaction with supervision, but these attributes did not moderate the influence of supervisor behaviors on other satisfaction criteria. The evidence is inter-preted as underscoring the validity of contingency approaches to the study of leadership and pointing to the need for specifying "relevant" (i.e., con-ceptually proximal) criteria for theoretical networks.
