Effects of Subordinate Feedback to the Supervisor and Participation in Decision-Making in the Prediction of Organizational Support

Abstract

The present study tested the hypotheses that participation in decision-making (PDM) and perceived effectiveness of subordinate feedback to the supervisor would contribute unique variance in the prediction of perceptions of organizational support. In line with concerns for dispositional affect as a contributor to method variance and the possibility that biodata may explain some of the effects of PDM and feedback on support, dispositional affect and biodata variables were included in the analyses. Hierarchical regression analyses, conducted on data collected from 1,083 federal government workers, indicated that both feedback and PDM added unique variance to the prediction of support. These findings have implications for both management and research.
