Finally, Fig. 4 illustrates the interaction with OCBs as the outcome. This graph depicts another crossover interaction. The OCB line slope for those respondents reporting low empowerment rapidly and positively increases as the quality of the LMX relationship increases. Moreover, the OCB line slope for respondents reporting high empowerment is almost unchanged as LMX
quality increases. This finding is similar to the pattern of results found for Hypothesis 3, as the positive LMX-OCB relationship was strongest when respondents reported lower levels of empowerment. Results from simple slopes tests, shown at the bottom of Table 4, confirm this understanding. These results provide support for Hypothesis 4.
