领导-成员交换理论述评与研究展望——多层次的视角

Review and Directions for Future Research of Leader-Member Exchange Theory:A Multi-Level Approach

对领导成员交换理论40年的发展进行回顾和展望,有利于理论的深化与完善。以领导成员交换理论研究层次为分类依据,将已有文献进行归类并进行分析。个体层次在构念内涵、量表、前因变量、结果变量和情景变量等方面的研究成果最为丰富,但量表仍需继续完善,部分前因变量与结果变量的研究结果尚需进一步深入探索,纵向研究方法需更多地被研究者采用。在对子内个体层次、群体内个体层次和群体层次的研究尚处于起步阶段,学者们可以在不同的理论层次对相应构念(如RLMX)的内涵、前因变量与结果变量进行深入研究。

Reviewing and directing for future research of forty’s years development of LMX theory are beneficial for theoretical deepening and improvement.According to level of theory,LMX literature can be classified and further investigated.In the level of individual,while researching findings are very fruitful in terms of construct,measurement,antecedents and consequents,measurement needs to be redesigned,results regarding a part of antecedents and consequents are controversial,and the longitudinal method should be adopted.In the levels of individual-within-dyad,individual within-group and group,research is still on the primary stage,LMX researchers can investigate the connotation,measurement,antecedents and consequents of corresponding construct of LMX.
