Armendariz, Robert Ernesto Management Organizational Behavior Organization Theory Sociology Sociology of Work Work and Organizations Management Sociology Race While the supervisor-employee relationship is one of the most fundamental relationships at work, no study has examined the constellation of effects a supervisor may have on employees’ performance and well-being. Using the 1997 & 2002 Waves of the National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW), this study evaluates the effect of supervisor support on an employee’s job satisfaction, extra effort towards organizational goals, sense of solidarity at work, and perceived advancement opportunities. Moreover, this study assesses whether relationships are moderated by the employee’s race. My findings indicate that increasing supervisor support is positively associated with job satisfaction, sense of solidarity, and perceived advancement to a very similar degree. In contrast, supervisor support has a noticeably smaller effect on encouraging extra effort. Results also indicate that Black employees, compared to White employees, benefit more from increasing supervisor support in regard to feeling integrated at work. This is a notable outcome for employers concerned about preventing Black employees from feeling alienated in the workplace. Interestingly, the effects of supervisor support do not vary by race for the other three outcomes, a valuable source of information for organizations with notable amounts of racial diversity. 2012-06-20 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1336963052 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1336963052 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
