| dc.title | The effect of leader-follower cultural fit on follower’s performance : an empirical study in a Chinese digital company | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | This paper extends the research on the impact of leader-follower fit on followers’ performance in a global context by focusing on cultural value fit and applying the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory. It examines how the congruence between the leader-follower cultural value influences followers’ performance through the mediating effect of LMX. From their own perspectives and positions, 217 leaders and followers from a Chinese internet company reported their cultural values, LMX quality and the uncertainty of the perceived environment. As per the results, generally speaking, the cultural fit between leaders and followers did not predict followers’ performance, except for one cultural dimension which is fact based and complexity centered has shown significant correlation, whereas the mediating effect of LMX was significant, which shows that regardless of the cultural fit between leaders and followers, LMX mediated the effect of cultural fit on followers’ performance. In addition, I found that the perceived environmental uncertainty did not moderate the effect of LMX on followers’ performance. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | This study offers empirical evidence for the effect of the congruence between leader-follower values on followers’ performance, which has little exploration in a global cross-cultural context. The results contribute to the literature on person-supervisor (PS) fit and LMX by demonstrating the mediating effect of LMX in explaining the effect of PS cultural fit on followers’ performance. The limitations of the current study and suggestions for future research were also discussed in this paper. | en_US |
