AbstractBackground: The main effects of leader-member relationship and the quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship are emphasized as main variables that help improve nurses’ job satisfaction and reduce exhaustion. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and psychological empowerment on psychological exhaustion and job satisfaction of nurses using moderation-mediation effects of leader-member exchange (LMX).Methods: A cross-sectional design was carried out in three public-sector hospitals in north west of Iran during 2016. A total of 138 self-administered questionnaires were used for analysis. The main hypotheses of this study were analyzed through applying mediation-moderation analysis using PROCESS model.Results: The results revealed that LMX acted as a mediator between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction through converting its negative effect into positive one. The indirect effect of emotional intelligence on emotional exhaustion through leader-member exchange was strongly negative especially at higher levels of leader-member exchange.Conclusions: High quality relationships between nurses and their superiors could improve their job outcomes. The negative relationship between emotional intelligence and emotional exhausting was more significant when leader-member exchange was taken into account. High emotional intelligence in nurses has negative effect on job satisfaction but by mediating role of LMX the effect changed to positive. LMX partially mediated the effect of emotional intelligence on job satisfaction, except when self-efficacy values were quite large. Psychological empowerment did not significantly moderate the relationship between emotional intelligence, leader-member exchange, and job outcome.Implications for nursing managers: It is recommended to analyze the quality of leader-member exchange in the hospitals before using them for measurement of nurses’ satisfaction and their jobs’ outcomes. Managers should also concentrate more on leader-member exchange and try to improve its quality. Future studies are needed to investigate the effects of leader-member exchange quality in longer follow-up periods.

The Impact

The studies revealed that organizational change could create employee’s psychological uncertainty. However, this study argues that the quality of leader-member exchange enables to control the impact of the psychological uncertainty during the change toward employee’s attitude. This study represents job satisfaction and turnover intention as proxy of employee’s attitude for that matter. Based on social exchange theory, quality relationship of leader and employees affects on the relationship of psychological uncertainty and employee’s job satisfaction and turnover intention. This study selected private hospitals experiencing the changes of operational system for complying with national health security system. This study conducted cross-section survey for individual level-analysis. This study produces some findings. Firstly, the LMX has been failed to reduce the negative influence of psychological uncertainty towards employee’s job satisfaction, although the quality of the LMX was good. employee’s job satisfaction is more perceived as  personal afective state experienced during the organizational change. Secondly, the LMX has been successfully moderated the positive influence of the psychological uncertainty towards employee’s turnover intention.The data were collected by using questioners, distributed to the employees who worked in hospitals in Yogyakarta Province. There were 193 questioners that could be collected and analyzed by using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the hypothesis by using SPSS application version 21. The result of the study shows that psychological uncertainty had negative correlation to employee’s job satisfaction and positive influence to psychological uncertainty toward turnover intention. Besides, LMX was proven to moderate positive influence of psychological uncertainty toward turnover intention, but it could not moderate negative influence of psychological uncertainty toward job satisfaction.

Purpose: This research contributes further into investigating the impact of Social Comparison (i.e. Negative Social Comparison (NSC) and Positive Social Comparison (PSC) and work attitudes (i.e. Overall Job Satisfaction- OJS and Affective Commitment – AC using Leader Member Exchange (LMX) as a potential mediator among the relationship of Social Comparison and work attitudes. Design / Methodology / Approach: This research is causal, descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. Following positivist research paradigm data was collected from 232 employees of First tier commercial banks using a self-administrative survey. Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation and Descriptive statistics were used to test the hypothesis of the study and provide conclusion about the hypothesis. The mediation effects of Leader member exchange was also tested using the steps of Baron and Kenny (1986). Findings: The results exhibited that the Positive Social Comparison has positive association with Affective Commitment (AC) and overall job satisfaction (OJS). Further, NSC relationship was negatively significant with Affective Commitment, and also it was found to have a significant negative relationship with Overall Job Satisfaction. LMX, Leader Member Exchange mediates the relationship among Social Comparison Negative and Positive Social Comparison. Originality/Value: These significant results have shown the importance of quality of Leader Member Exchange and its impact in yielding the positive organizational outcomes. As long as the managers pay a good attention towards the quality of relationship among them and their workers, the chances are that any type of comparison (Negative or Positive) will have less chance to affect the organizational outcomes, such as affective commitment and overall job satisfaction. These results are vital for HR practitioners and will assist in designing quality HPWPs in organizations.

This study investigates the process underlying the relationship between leadership and employees’ innovative workplace behavior. By combining findings from leader-member exchange (LMX) theory and from research on psychological empowerment, we propose that empowerment mediates the effects of LMX on innovative behavior. We tested the proposed process model with a structural equation model based on a time-lagged questionnaire study with a sample of 225 employees. This design allowed us to investigate the proposed effects under control of the temporal stability of innovative behavior. In partial support of the hypotheses, the model revealed a full mediation of LMX on subsequent innovation behavior via psychological empowerment. The indirect effect was significant even when controlling for the stability of innovative behavior over time.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study is to examine how leader-member exchange (LMX) similarity might affect exchange quality between coworkers. This research also investigates the relationships of LMX and CWX (coworker exchange) to employees’ organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Each respondent from 76 nurses at three hospitals in Semarang were asked to rate the quality of the relationship he/she had with his/her supervisor, resulting in 76 LMX ratings. They were also asked to rate the quality of their relationships with each of their coworkers. A dyad was created where we had complete information on two employees rating one another. Once paired, a total of 146 dyads with complete LMX, CWX, and work attitude data were acquired. The results of this research indicate that the interaction between two coworkers’ LMX scores predicts CWX quality for the coworker dyad. After controlling for CWX, LMX quality is positively related to job satisfaction, but not to organizational commitment. Furthermore, after controlling for LMX, a greater diversity in a worker’s CWX relationship is negatively associated to his/her organizational commitment, but not to his/her job satisfaction. The interaction of CWX quality and CWX diversity, however, does not predict work attitude.
