A Meta-Analysis Of Organizational Citizenship Behavior And Leader-Member Exchange

Abstract

Numerous studies on Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory of leadership have identified various antecedents and consequences of LMX. This study is a meta-analysis (Hunter & Schmidt, 1990) of two variables—organizational citizenship behavior and leader member exchange.  The study addresses the following questions: (a) What is the correlation between organizational citizenship behavior and leader-member exchange? (b) What are the effects of moderators such as employee status, supervisory status, tenure, and perceptions outside of the United States?
