Abstract

LMX research in Asian context is limited. In addition to the direct impact of LMX on employee outcomes, researches call for investigating intervening mechanism. Therefore, the current study on the base of social exchange theory proposes perceived organizational support (POS) and organizational embeddedness (OE) as mediating mechanism between LMX and the three employee outcomes (i.e. job satisfaction, job performance and leave intention). Further, it investigates the predictive role of POS and OE towards generating the employee outcomes. The study utilizes probability proportionate to size sampling to select 209 dyads of 24 retail banking branches of a large private multinational commercial bank. Data was collected through two questionnaires. Linear and hierarchical regression was used to test study hypotheses. Study results show predictive role of LMX towards generating POS, OE, job satisfaction and leave intention. Further, predictive and mediating role of POS and OE for job satisfaction is supported. Study discusses the results and provides a number of theoretical and practical implications along with limitations and future directions.
