| Abstract: |
Extant literature on person–environment fit has underlined the positive impact of leader–member exchange (LMX) on person–supervisor (PS) fit. We challenge this assumption and propose that LMX, which captures theworkingrelationship between employees and their managers, is more strongly associated with person–organization (PO) fit, not PS fit. We further propose that thepersonalaspect of the relationship between employees and their managers, namely supervisor–subordinateguanxi, is more strongly associated with PS fit than LMX. Finally, we theorize that LMX and supervisor–subordinateguanxiwill be associated with turnover intention and helping behavior targeting the supervisor, respectively, through their differential impact on PO and PS fit. Data collected from 267 leader–member dyads in 17 companies in China using a two-wave procedure supported our hypotheses. These results have implications for theories on the multi-dimensional nature of the person–environment fit as well as research differentiating LMX and supervisor–subordinateguanxi.
