Abstract
Drawing on the social exchange theory and power-dependence perspective, this study explains how and when the (in)congruence effect of leader-member exchange (LMX) and team-member exchange (TMX) influence newcomers’ feedback seeking behavior (FSB), which in turn influence their job performance. With a polynomial regression analysis on a three-wave and multi-source data of 147 newcomers and their supervisors in 45 teams, we found that newcomers engage in more FSB when LMX and TMX are congruent at high versus low levels. In the incongruent situation, FSB is lower when LMX is higher than TMX as compared to when TMX is higher than LMX. In addition, a moderated polynomial regression analysis revealed that LMX-TMX incongruence will reduce FSB when task interdependence is low, whereas facilitate FSB when task interdependence is high. The interplay of LMX, TMX and task interdependence also has an indirect effect on job performance through FSB.
