Abstract

Although subordinate-to-supervisor relational identification (RI) has gained significant scholarly attention in organizational research, an understanding of its nomological network is incomplete. There have also been recurring discussions about its distinctions with another more extensively researched relational construct-leader-member exchange (LMX). In this meta-analysis, we expand Sluss and Ashforth's (2007) typology, going beyond the influence of the supervisor, to systematically study the antecedents and consequences of RI and its comparison with LMX. Meta-analytic results based on 157 independent samples demonstrate that positive leader behaviors that span role-based and person-based identities (e.g., transformational leadership, supervisor humility) are important antecedents of subordinate-to-supervisor RI, with effects contingent on subordinates' national culture (i.e., collectivism and power distance). Although less hypothesized, relational and organizational contexts as well as subordinate characteristics are also important antecedents of subordinate-to-supervisor RI. The results further show that RI relates to important subordinate behaviors and attitudes. Finally, we test how RI and LMX have differing effects across these important subordinate attitudes and behaviors. We conclude with suggestions to enhance our understanding of RI.

下属对上司的关系认同：元分析综述。

尽管下属对上司的关系认同（RI）在组织研究中获得了学者们的极大关注，但对其名义网络的理解却并不完整。关于它与另一种研究更为广泛的关系结构--领导成员交换（LMX）之间的区别，也一直存在讨论。在这项元分析中，我们扩展了 Sluss 和 Ashforth（2007 年）的类型学，超越了上司的影响，系统地研究了 RI 的前因后果及其与 LMX 的比较。基于 157 个独立样本的元分析结果表明，跨越角色身份和个人身份的积极领导者行为（如变革型领导、上司谦逊）是下属对上司关系形成的重要前因，其影响取决于下属的民族文化（即集体主义和权力距离）。虽然假设较少，但关系和组织背景以及下属特征也是下属对上司关系指数的重要前因。研究结果进一步表明，RI 与下属的重要行为和态度有关。最后，我们检验了 RI 和 LMX 如何对这些重要的下属态度和行为产生不同的影响。最后，我们提出了一些建议，以加深我们对 RI 的理解。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Psychology® focuses on publishing original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (excluding clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are better suited for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings. These phenomena can occur at individual, group, organizational, or cultural levels, and in various work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions. The journal welcomes submissions from both public and private sector organizations, for-profit or nonprofit. It publishes several types of articles, including: 1.Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that expand conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses). 2.Theory development articles and integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and generate new theories on psychological phenomena to stimulate novel research. 3.Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are challenging to capture with quantitative methods or require inductive theory building.
