Organizational independence, leader behavior, and managerial practices: A replicated study

Abstract

Examined the moderating effects of organizational independence. Survey data were collected from 211 quasi-professional employees in 1 firm and from 111 hourly employees in another. Many findings were contrary to the hypothesized relationships. Specifically, job scope and leader hierarchical influence were more positively related to satisfaction for Ss who perceived organizational independence than for Ss with no such perceptions. Also, leader consideration and leader technical competence were more positively related to performance for Ss perceiving organizational independence.
