| Summary: | 碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 行為科學研究所碩士班 === 94 === The Chaxu Leadership and the Moral Leadership are the theories specifically developed for Chinese business enterprises. Leaders in Chinese society are expected to be moral—to be impartial. On the other side, they actually show favoritism toward their insiders. Using a sample of 408 employees who had been led by their supervisors for more than six months, the purpose of the study was to investigate (1) the relationship of the subordinates’ insider-perception and their perception of supervisors’ morality, and (2) the effects of the two kinds of subordinates’ perceptions on their psychological and behavioral reactions. The study findings were as follows: (1) The subordinates’ insider-perception and their perception of leaders’ morality are positively related, especially for the subordinates with high scores on the Familism scale. (2) The subordinates’ insider-perception and their perception of leaders’ morality had separate effects on the loyalty to and the satisfaction with their supervisors, and the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), with the greater effects of the subordinates’ insider-perception on the supervisory loyalty, and the greater effects of the perception of leaders’ morality on the satisfaction with their supervisors and OCB. Additionally, a significant interaction effect on OCB was found, which indicated that the perception of leaders’ morality and OCB are positively related, especially for the subordinates who perceived themselves to be the supervisors’ insiders. (3) The subordinates’ insider-perception and their perception of leaders’ morality had separate effects on the affect-based trust in their supervisors, with the greater effects of the subordinates’ insider-perception. On the cognition-based trust, the subordinates’ perception of leaders’ morality had a significant effect, but their insider-perception had not. The theoretical and practical implications were discussed. It is hoped that this research is the starting point to integrate the Chaxu Leadership and the Moral Leadership.
