. Conclusion
Our investigation found that for four different job outcomes, including an attitude, behavioral intention, and behaviors, empowerment moderated the relationships between LMX and these consequences. In particular, our findings revealed that LMX becomes especially important when empowerment is lacking. This study extends previous research by examining the joint impact of LMX relationship quality and empowerment, which had not been previously investigated, and showed that this moderating effect was present in two samples with outcomes that were self and supervisor-rated. We feel that these results are interesting and
we hope they will encourage future researchers to continue to investigate how these variables work together.
