LMX has been subjected to extensive scientific enquiry and empirical research in the past. However, not many researchers have explored LMX as a manifestation of relational power. The current study attempts to do so and explores expert power, manifested as leader competence. This study investigates the impact of LMX vis-a-vis leader competence on subordinates’ sense of perceived cohesion. The experimental design methodology is used for a sample of 140 students pursuing MBA at a technical institute for this study. Practitioners in the industry are expected to benefit from the findings, in strengthening their procedures and practices of allocating leaders and teams for their employees.

Abstract


LMX has been subjected to extensive scientific enquiry and empirical research in the past. However, not many researchers have explored LMX as a manifestation of relational power. The current study attempts to do so and explores expert power, manifested as leader competence. This study investigates the impact of LMX vis-a-vis leader competence on subordinates’ sense of perceived cohesion. The experimental design methodology is used for a sample of 140 students pursuing MBA at a technical institute for this study. Practitioners in the industry are expected to benefit from the findings, in strengthening their procedures and practices of allocating leaders and teams for their employees.
