Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the Knowledge Exchange & Combination (KEC) and the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX). The research uses objects in the construction industry, which have characteristics: intense competition between players, innovation must be created in a short time and is a form of project-based organization. This study uses a unit of analysis of the dyadic relationship between the general manager as the leader and the project manager as a follower, the research sample is in the form of 121 projects scattered throughout the country, while the research object is an SOE construction company in Indonesia. The participation rate was 97.52 percent, namely 118 projects, while the analysis used descriptive statistics and correlation methods. The results showed that the KEC variable was correlated with the LMX variable, especially with the Influence Dimension of 0.789 and the Dimension of Professional Rewards 0.700. Therefore, KEC can be represented by LMX's perception of followers.
Highlights
Research on the correlation between Knowledge Exchange & Combination (KEC) and Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) is important because one of the results of the exchange between leaders and followers in the LMX is innovation which is an antecedent of performance
The work unit studied in this study is projects, followers are people who serve as project managers, while leaders are people who serve as general managers who are in charge of overseeing several project managers for the projects they work on
It can be said that the LMX quality between the leader and follower is high, and there is a uniformity of dimensional characteristics possessed
Summary
Research on the correlation between KEC and LMX is important because one of the results of the exchange between leaders and followers in the LMX is innovation which is an antecedent of performance. What leaders and followers trade at LMX remains unclear. Research on exchange content within LMX has never been carried out in the construction industry.This study uses object and samples at a construction’s SOE in Indonesia. The work unit studied in this study is projects, followers are people who serve as project managers, while leaders are people who serve as general managers who are in charge of overseeing several project managers for the projects they work on. In construction projects in Indonesia, most of the innovations are aimed at overcoming geographic challenges that occur in the location. The phenomenon of each construction project is characterized by: different geographical situations and conditions; because the duration of the work has been determined from the start, the innovation must be realized immediately, namely during project preparation or within the project time frame; so that the innovations produced in each project will be different
