S., Fullagar, C. J., & Mills, M. J. . Although it makes sense to define workers or work groups as productive, or minimal contributors, or unwarranted existence (specifically in highly unionized settings) and rewards are distributed accordingly this may establish the perception of unequal or unfair treatment. Bolino, M. C., & Turnley, W. H. (2009). Review of Public Personnel Administration, 123. Similarly, Bernerth et al. MGMT 3287. test_prep. This is because items that are otherwise valid can drop from the analysis due to sampling error or specific factor variance (see Hunter, 1980). LMX theory has been criticized. What is a key predictor of relationship quality for both leaders and followers? Diversity is credited with the dissolution of cultural barriers at a more rapid pace, reductions of brutality complaints and further erosion of the blue wall of silence (Sklansky, 2006). It runs counter to the human value of fairness. Res. doi: 10.1080/0144929X.2021.1875264, Martin, R., Guillaume, Y., Thomas, G., Lee, A., and Epitropaki, O. 36, 837867. To ensure that all subjects were employed in a supervisory role, all subjects were asked to indicate whether they were in a role in which they supervised others. Consequently, and like study 1, this factor was removed from the analysis because the content of this factor was not homogeneous with the content of the other first-order LMX factors. Moreover, the factor loading was small (0.15), thus indicating that it was a decidedly weak indicator of the second order LMX factor. doi: 10.1016/1048-9843(95)90036-5, Graen, G., Dansereau, F. Jr., and Minami, T. (1972). Table 4. In brief, high-quality LMX relationships are said to evidence trust, respect, and beneficial social exchanges between leaders and members, whereas low-quality LMX relationships are said to lack these important relational characteristics (see Graen and Uhl-Bien, 1995). Subjects were generally female (n = 193, 65.5%), young adults (M = 23.81, SD = 4.49), generally white (n = 171, 56.3%; black: n = 57, 18.8%; Asian: n = 37, 12.2%; other/mixed: n = 39, 12.8%), and ranged in level of education (less than high school: n = 8, 2.6%; high school graduate or GED: n = 43, 14.1%; some college but no degree: n = 95, 31.3%; associates degree: n = 54, 17.8%; bachelors degree: n = 78, 25.7%; masters, doctoral, or professional degree: n = 26, 8.6%). Although LMX theory is rich in its description of relationship development, however, a critical area that requires empirical investigation is how effective work relationships are generated and how these relationships operate within the larger contexts and networks of exchange in organizations. Retail. Given that the parallel approach was designed specifically to capture the dyadic nature of LMX from supervisor and subordinate perspectives alike, it was adopted herein. It is a unique approach that looks at dyadic relationships. The problem of empirical redundancy of constructs in organizational research: an empirical investigation. ), Studies in social power (pp. In addition, although the distinguishing feature of the LMX-MDM scale is its multidimensionality, many researchers continue to treat this scale as unidimensional (e.g., Martin et al., 2016). For example, LMX research describes relationships as being on a continuum from low- to medium- to high-quality leader-member exchange. : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "5.5:_Transformational_leadership_qualities" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "5.6:_Leader-Follower_Theory:_Concentration_of_LMX" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "5.7:_Trait_Theory" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "5.8:_References" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, { "00:_Front_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "01:_Chapters" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "02:_Virtue_Ethics_and_Ethical_Systems" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "03:_Laws_Crimes_Deviance_Ethics" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "04:_Corruption_in_the_System" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "05:_Ethical_Leadership" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "06:_Criminal_v._Racial_Profiling_Surveillance" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "07:_Mid-Term_Evaluation._A_Case_Study:_Building_a_Better_York_Policy:_Project_Component" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "08:_A_Case_Study:_Pennsylvania_Department_of_Corrections_Review" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "09:_Social_Policy_in_Criminal_Justice_Systems" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "10:_Public_v._Private_Policing:_The_Ethical_Dilemma" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "11:_Police_Programs_and_Homeland_Security_Hometown_Security" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "12:_Finding_Ethical_People_from_an_Unethical_Society" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "13:_Criminal_Profiling:_The_Good_the_Bad_and_the_Ugly" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "14:_An_Examination_of_the_14th_Amendment_of_the_U.S._Constitution:_Has_it_Aided_Crafting_Social_Policy_in_America_Specifically_Equally" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "zz:_Back_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, 5.6: Leader-Follower Theory: Concentration of LMX, https://human.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fhuman.libretexts.org%2FBookshelves%2FPhilosophy%2FEthics_in_Life_and_Vocations_(Whitman)%2F05%253A_Ethical_Leadership%2F5.6%253A_Leader-Follower_Theory%253A_Concentration_of_LMX, \( \newcommand{\vecs}[1]{\overset { \scriptstyle \rightharpoonup} {\mathbf{#1}}}\) \( \newcommand{\vecd}[1]{\overset{-\!-\!\rightharpoonup}{\vphantom{a}\smash{#1}}} \)\(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\)\(\newcommand{\AA}{\unicode[.8,0]{x212B}}\), 5.5: Transformational leadership qualities, status page at https://status.libretexts.org. Instead of giving people false assurance that their best is good enough, leaders insist that people surpass themselves, and rather than smoothing over conflicts, leaders force disputes to surface (p. 14). Table 7. Stated differently, the possibility that extant LMX measures are second-order unidimensional is worth investigating for both empirical and theoretical reasons. Psychol.

According to Harris, Wheeler, and Kacmar, what moderates the impact of leader-member exchange on job outcomes? To date, supervisor perceptions of LMX have been measured by adapting existing scales using either mirror or parallel approaches (Liden et al., 2016). Research has also examined the relationship between LMX and decision influence and found that high-LMX subordinates are allowed more latitude and more involvement with the supervisor in decision making. What is the relationship between LMX and employee energy and creativity? Whereas mirrored scales aim to corroborate subordinate perceptions, parallel scales assess the dyadic relationship from the supervisors perspective by making minor adaptations intended to transform items from the subordinates perspective to the supervisors perspective (Greguras and Ford, 2006, p. 446).
