Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite renewed interest in organizational cynicism, we still know little about how it affects relationships with others in the organization. Using a shared reality framework, we apply the common-fate model to explore how supervisor and subordinate’s organizational cynicism operates in tandem to influence the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) at the dyad level and affects job performance ratings. Across 199 supervisor-subordinate dyads, we find that dyad-level organizational cynicism has negative effects on dyad-level LMX, impacting supervisory perceptions of subordinate performance. Expanding our understanding of organizational cynicism beyond the individual and incorporating methodology from the interpersonal relationships literature into the study of LMX, our results suggest that to understand the impact of cynicism in the workplace, we need to move beyond the study of subordinates alone.
期刊介绍：
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
