Multidimensionality of leader-member exchange: An empirical assessment through scale development
通过开发并验证多维量表，检验领导-成员交换（LMX）是单维还是多维结构，发现其包含情感、忠诚、贡献和专业尊重四个维度。
Whether Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) is a unidimensional or a multidimensional construct was assessed through the development and validation of a multidimensional measure. Item analysis involving 302 working students, followed by construct and criterion-related validation using 249 employees representing two organizations resulted in a multidimensional LMX scale. The results provided support for the affect, loyalty, and contribution dimensions identified by Dienesch and Liden (1986), as well as a fourth dimension, professional respect.
