近年来,评估者行为成为绩效评估研究领域的新焦点,它会受到自身动机/特征、受评者特征、评估者与受评者二元关系、组织评估制度等多方面因素的影响。本文设定主管为评估者,选择评估者与受评者二元关系中的领导成员交换(LMX)作为主要研究变量,探究LMX与主管评估行为之间的关系。通过231份有效问卷数据统计结果发现,LMX显著正向影响主管宽大评估行为,LMX水平越高,评估结果越趋向宽大;反之LMX显著负向影响主管准确评估行为,LMX水平越低,评估结果越趋向准确。在研究中引入管理性评估目的作为调节变量,当处于低情境下的绩效评估管理性目的时,LMX对主管评估行为影响与主效应保持一致,但处于高情境下的绩效评估管理目的时,无论LMX水平高低与否,主管都会趋向采取准确评估行为。
Over the past decades,rater behavior becomes the new focus of research in the field ofperformance evaluation,it will be affected by rater motivation or characteristics,ratee feature,rater-ratee issues,organizational system and so many factors.This paper chooses leader-member exchange as the main object toexplore the relationship between leader-member exchange and director(principal rater/direct superior)performanceappraisal behavior.This research fi nds that leader-member exchange has a positive signifi cant effect on directorleniency appraisal behavior and a negative signifi cant effect on director accurate appraisal behavior through231valid questionnaires survey data.Administrative evaluation purpose served as an adjustment variable in the study,we fi nd that when in a low-context performance evaluation management purposes,the effect of leader-memberexchange on the director performance appraisal behavior is consistent with the main effect.But in the high-contextof performance evaluation management purposes,regardless of the level of leader-member exchange,heads willtend to take an accurate appraisal behavior.
