Abstract

Most studies in management and leadership argue that employees' job satisfaction is higher when they have a competent leader who provides social support and expects high performance. However, based on research on job attitudes, we could also draw very different conclusions, such that employees observe and judge their leaders from different attitudinal viewpoints, depending on whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with their jobs. This study explicitly investigates whether job satisfaction functions as an antecedent or an outcome of employees' experiences of leader behavior. Utilizing a cross‐lagged panel design with two data‐collection points, we analyzed a sample of 638 individuals working across 34 organizations in Finland. Our findings underscore that the positive associations between employees' job satisfaction and favorable perceptions of leaders' behavior are primarily driven by job satisfaction itself. In light of these results, we introduce the “Job Attitude–Interpretation Model of Leader Perceptions,” offering valuable insights into how job satisfaction acts as an attitudinal lens that biases employees' evaluative judgments about their leaders.

重新审视领导力与工作满意度之间的关系
大多数关于管理和领导力的研究都认为,如果领导者有能力,能够提供社会支持并期望员工取得高绩效,那么员工的工作满意度就会更高。然而,基于对工作态度的研究,我们也可以得出截然不同的结论,即员工会根据自己对工作的满意度或不满意度,从不同的态度视角来观察和评判他们的领导。本研究明确探讨了工作满意度是员工领导行为体验的前因还是结果。我们利用两个数据收集点的交叉滞后面板设计,分析了芬兰 34 家企业的 638 名员工样本。我们的研究结果表明,员工的工作满意度与对领导行为的好感之间的正相关关系主要是由工作满意度本身驱动的。根据这些结果,我们提出了 "领导认知的工作态度-解释模型",为了解工作满意度如何作为一种态度透镜,使员工对领导的评价判断产生偏差提供了宝贵的见解。
