Abstract
The main purpose of the research is to comprehend the difference of the subordinate effectiveness between the sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor and the effects of Paternalistic leadership and the length of dyadic relationship as the moderators of the influence of sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor on subordinate effectiveness, and therefore to clarify the important “sex effects” on subordinate effectiveness. Given the research results, compared with male subordinates, the female subordinates show significantly lower obligated loyalty to supervisor and overall job satisfaction but significantly higher intention to leave. There is no significant difference in trust to supervisor, however, between the male and female subordinates. Considering the weight of supervisor’s sex, sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor has the prevailing influence on subordinate effectiveness. Moreover, the moderator influences of Paternalistic leadership are proved. The influence of sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor on overall job satisfaction of subordinate are moderated by Authoritative leadership. The moderator effects of Benevolent leadership and Moral leadership are quite similar, since they both moderate the relationship between sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor and trust to supervisor, loyalty to supervisor, and job satisfaction but intention to leave. The length of relationship between subordinate and supervisor, nevertheless, only moderates the influence of sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor on trust to supervisor of subordinate and overall job satisfaction. Only the relationship of sex combinations of subordinate-supervisor and overall job satisfaction is interactively moderated by Paternalistic leadership and length of relationship.
To sum up, assumptions in the research are mostly totally or partially verified. Finally, contributions and limitations are also discussed, and suggestions are provided for future studies and managerial practices in Chinese organizations. In the appendix, further discussion form the perspective of supervisor about length of relationship as the moderator of the influence of sex combinations of supervisor-subordinate on Paternalistic leadership are attached.
