Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aims to investigate the relationship between Leader-member exchange (LMX) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) with psychological empowerment (PE) as a mediator using a sample of 215 medical workers from local medical clinics in Busan city. The study also looked at LMX as antecedents to PE, and PE (meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact) as antecedents to OCBs. The scales were proven to have reliability through the results based on Wortzel’s idea arguing that the result is highly reliable if the Cronbach α value is between .81 and .91. The results show that LMX is positively related to OCBs while PE also produces some significant mediating effects on the relationship between LMX and OCBs. An important implication of this study’s findings is, consequently, that LMX should be positively enhanced for the purpose of increasing the level of OCBs through using the mediating role of PE.
