Satisfaction with leader was as boundary conditions to assess whether it affect the relationships between leadership behavior and work role performance. Drawing on a cross-work unit sample of 84 supervisor-subordinate team dyads was from medical service organization. In this study, constructs with different sources (e.g., team members rated their leader's leadership behavior and satisfaction with leader, while leaders rated their team members’ task performance) in order to reduce the possibility of same source bias were measured. To enhance the clarity of the causal relationship among variables of the present study, questionnaires were distributed at three time points. The moderating effects of satisfaction with leader on generally well established relationships between leadership behavior and work role performance were examined. Results showed that the main effect of directive leadership on team members’ proficiency positively exists, the main effect of empowering leadership, respectively, on team members’ proficiency and on team members’ proactivity positively exists. Secondly, satisfaction with leader altered relationships of leadership to work role performance, in that the relationship of directive leadership on team members’ proficiency was stronger for scoring high on satisfaction with leader, while the relationship of empowering leadership on team members’ proactivity was stronger for scoring high on satisfaction with leader. Based on the above findings, some suggestions for academic and practical fields were offered.
