Abstract
Our research explores the possibility that team-member exchange (TMX) quality may have positive as well as negative effects upon in-role task performance, creativity/innovation, and individual-oriented citizenship behavior (OCBI); a possibility suggested by, but rarely investigated by, scholars engaged in prior research into this subject matter (e.g., Bolino et al., 2013, Mackenzie et al., 2011). Specifically we have asserted, and tested, the hypotheses that the relationships between TMX quality and the afore-mentioned measures of individual performance are curvilinear, exhibiting inverted U-shape relationships in which the various measures of individual performance initially increase as TMX quality increases; eventually however, those relationships will reverse, such that at higher-levels of TMX quality negative relationships between TMX quality and these measures of individual performance will present themselves.
