The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model of the relationship between supervisory reports of subordinate feedbackseeking behavior and subordinate reports of job satisfaction. Specifically, we applied literature on feedback seeking and socialization to demonstrate that this relationship is mediated by role clarity. Further, we found that the relationship between feedback-seeking behavior and role clarity is moderated by social skill, implying that subordinates with greater social skill are better able to perceive, interpret, and apply feedback information to enhance role clarity. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
