Data were obtained from 143 subordinate-supervisor dyads in Chinese organizational settings. Results showed that: (i) perceived leader-subordinate goal similarity was related to leader-member exchange (LMX); (ii) LMX fully mediated the relationship between perceived leader-subordinate goal similarity and the performance outcomes of n-role performance, individual-directed (OCBI) and organization-directed (OCBO) citizenship behaviors, and (iii) the perceived leader-subordinate goal similarity-LMX relationship was stronger for low rather than high traditionality individuals.Keywords: Employee performance; LMX; Organizational setting; Perceived leader-subordinate goal similarity; Performance outcome; Personnel rating Employee performance; LMX; Perceived leader-subordinate goal similarity20052016-02-24
