Abstract

Guided by self-determination and social exchange theories, we examine how leader-member exchange (LMX) quality impacts follower well-being. Despite LMX relationships being dynamic in nature, the way relationship quality varies over time and its impact on well-being has not been examined in detail. To address this important issue, a daily diary study is reported of employees from a variety of organizations. One hundred and fifty-eight participants completed a daily diary in the morning and evening for five consecutive workdays (k = 603 observations). Measures included hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and social and economic LMX exchanges. There was a significant variation of LMX quality over the diary days. Daily LMX quality predicted daily follower well-being (while controlling for morning well-being). Further, for those that interacted with their manager, social LMX exchanges but not economic LMX exchanges predicted daily well-being. Interaction characteristics (frequency, time, content) had a relatively small impact on daily well-being. As predicted, work engagement mediated the relation between daily LMX quality and social LMX exchanges (but not daily economic LMX exchanges) with well-being. The results show how LMX quality affects followers' well-being that varies daily, that is affected by leaders' behaviors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

领导-成员交换(LMX)质量与追随者幸福感:一项日常日记研究。

在自我决定和社会交换理论的指导下，我们研究了领导-成员交换(LMX)质量如何影响追随者的幸福感。尽管LMX关系本质上是动态的，但关系质量随时间变化的方式及其对幸福感的影响尚未得到详细研究。为了解决这一重要问题，对来自不同组织的员工进行了每日日记研究。158名参与者在连续5个工作日的早晚完成了每日日记(k = 603次观察)。衡量标准包括享乐和幸福，以及社会和经济LMX交流。各生育期LMX质量变化显著。每日LMX质量预测每日追随者的幸福感(同时控制早上的幸福感)。此外，对于那些与经理有互动的人来说，社会LMX交流而不是经济LMX交流预测了他们的日常幸福感。互动特征(频率、时间、内容)对日常幸福感的影响相对较小。正如预测的那样，工作投入在日常LMX质量和社会LMX交换(而不是日常经济LMX交换)与幸福感之间的关系中起中介作用。研究结果显示，领导关系质量如何影响下属的幸福感，这种幸福感每天都在变化，受领导者行为的影响。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
