Leader-Member Exchange & Perceived Organizational Justice - An Empirical Investigation
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This study explored the relationship between the dimensions of two social exchange mechanisms of quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) and perceived organizational justice. Comprehensive multi-dimensional measures of organizational justice perception and quality of leader-member exchange relationship were used for the study. In line with recent and more elaborate measures of organizational justice, the LMX was also operationalized as dyadic and general environment of quality of leader-member exchange. The study was a web based survey of 266 Indian working executives from diverse set of industries. The generalizability of comprehensive measures of multi-dimensional LMX and organizational justice was supported in the Indian context.
