Leadership and Empowerment: A Social Exchange Perspective
研究上级给予下属谈判空间和支持自我价值如何通过增强控制感来授权下属，下属则以符合上级偏好的表现作为回报，同时上级的授权领导行为会被视为公平。
This paper proposes that the receipt of negotiating latitude and support for self-worth from superiors empowers subordinates by increasing their perceptions of control. Subordinates reciprocate by performing in accordance with supervisory preferences. Additionally, superiors who utilize empowering leadership practices are predicted to be viewed as fair by subordinates. The results from the analysis of data collected from 92 superior-subordinate dyads support these hypotheses. The implications of empowerment for management are discussed.
