Abstract
This study examined a model of the relationships between leader-member exchange (LMX), perceived organizational support (POS), socialization tactics, and work outcomes. First, it was hypothesized that LMX would have a positive impact on POS, and that this relationship would be moderated by socialization tactics. Second, it was predicted that POS would mediate the effects of LMX on indicators of newcomer adjustment (i.e., affective commitment and intent to leave). Using a two-wave longitudinal survey of 159 newcomers, LMX was positively related to POS, and socialization tactics were found to moderate this relationship. In terms of consequences, POS was found to fully mediate the relationship between LMX and affective commitment. However, POS did not mediate the relationship between LMX and intent to leave the organization.
