Cl. Adkins et Cj. Russell, SUPERVISOR-SUBORDINATE WORK VALUE CONGRUENCE AND SUBORDINATE PERFORMANCE - A PILOT-STUDY, Journal of business and psychology, 12(2), 1997, pp. 205-218
The relationship of superior-subordinate work value congruence to subo
rdinate performance was examined in a retail setting. Additionally, be
cause of on-going interest in the role of justice or fairness in the p
erformance appraisal process, the relationship between the supervisor'
s value of fairness and subordinate performance was examined. superior
-subordinate value congruence was not related to subordinate performan
ce. The supervisor's level of the value of fairness was related to sup
ervisor-rated dimensions of performance, but not to sales and profits.
Implications for future research are presented.
