Abstract

The relationship between leaders and their employees in organization is important. However, extant research exaggerated its benefits and overlooked its dark side. Drawing upon attribution theory, we challenge this consensus by identifying that downward social comparisons of leader-member exchange (i.e., leader-member exchange social comparisons; LMXSC) can also lead to shortcuts behaviors. We identify that, in subordinates with high self-serving attribution of LMXSC, LMXSC triggers psychological entitlement, which in turn motivates subordinate shortcuts behaviors. We found support for our hypotheses across a three-wave time lagged study.
