When subordinates feel supported by managers: investigating the relationships between support, trust, commitment and outcomes

Abstract: International audienceThe purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between managers and their subordinates. The framework of social exchange theory was used in order to examine whether subordinates demonstrate effort at work and remain in exchange of support by their manager. Using a sample of employees (N = 704) working for a provincial government in Canada, the results indicate that perceived supervisor support, trust in the supervisor reduce the likelihood that a public sector employee will … Show more

“…However, the coefficient for supervisor support on job satisfaction was weak, which can be attributed to PSS having the greatest effect on job satisfaction through its influence on work engagement (Christian et al, 2011;Karatepe, 2014;Paillé et al, 2013;Swanberg et al, 2011). A group analysis of respondents in Chinese Mainland and Taiwan suggested that the individual models for respondents in Chinese Mainland and Taiwan achieved an adequate fit, with no significant differences in any of the free parameters and coefficients.…”

“…The response scale ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree) with a reliability coefficient of 0.91. Perceived supervisor support was measured using a short four-item scale (Paillé et al, 2013). A sample item was, "My supervisor is concerned about my welfare at work" rated on a six-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree) with a reliability coefficient of 0.89.…”

“…Taylor (2004) posits that the firms should not depend on the HR department to resolve the issue of staff retention rather this obligation should be given to the leaders/managers for its proper and easy solution. Paille et al, (2013) state in their study, if the staff has confidence on the supervisor and also has support from him then the retention rate of staff is very high and vice versa. Nwokocha and Iheriohanma (2015) conclude from their study, staff performance and retention could be enlarged with the support of appropriate leadership practices.…”

“…Value congruence is significant for several reasons. For instance, as Edwards and Cable (2009: 654) note: “when employees hold values that match the values of their employing organization, they are satisfied with their jobs, identify with the organization, and seek to maintain the employment relationship.” Also, employees who identify with their organizations are more likely to find meaning in their jobs, less likely to turnover, and more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors (Cascio, 1999; Edwards and Cable, 2009; Paillé et al., 2013; Podsakoff et al., 2000; Riketta, 2005).…”
