Leader Role Inversion as a Corollary to Leader-Member Exchange
基于领导-成员交换理论，研究领导角色倒置对员工工作态度和行为的影响，发现其正向影响高阶需求满足、责任感、内在动机、离职倾向和工作满意度，并检验了跨工厂和职业类别的普适性。
Based on the work of Graen and Graen and Scandura on role-making processes in leader-member dyads and the leader-member exchange (LMX) paradigm, this investigation proposes a new direction for research. The findings reported demonstrate that leader role inversion positively affects a number of important work-related attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. These included higher order need fulfillment, accountability, intrinsic motivation, propensity to leave, and job satisfaction: work and supervision. The theoretical discussion presented in this article explains how leader role inversion results in a reconfiguration of role pressures. This reconfiguration of role pressures is hypothesized to affect the work-related attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. The results are tested for generalizability across plants and occupational categories.
