Produktbeschreibung
Have you ever wondered why employees choose to say
certain things and not others when they are trying to
convince their supervisor to do something for them? I
was very curious about this and, in particular,
whether employees from different countries use
similar approaches when trying to convince their
supervisors to comply with their request. Thus, when
it came time to do my final project for my Doctoral
Degree in Communication, I created this study to
answer my question. This cross cultural study
examines how leader-member exchange (LMX) affects
message production in situations in which an employee
is trying to gain compliance from a supervisor to
obtain a personal benefit. Two hypotheses are tested:
One that focuses on relationship maintenance and a
second that centers on the idea of idiosyncrasy
credits. If you are a person interested in
influencing others, especially your supervisor, this
will be a good first step to learn about upward
influence and how our goals affect how you
communicate with others in the organization.
