Abstract
This study examined how the combination of innate temperament and leader-member exchange affects employees’ use of upward dissent strategies (prosocial strategies, circumvention, repetition, and threatening resignation). Data were collected through an online survey. The findings revealed that higher-quality LMX relationships meant participants were more likely to use prosocial strategies. In contrast, temperament had no relationship with the tendency to use prosocial strategies. Extroversion and neuroticism related positively to threatening resignation, LMX related negatively to threatening resignation. Neither neuroticism nor LMX was related to circumvention, but extroversion was positively related to both circumvention and repetition. This relationship was qualified by an interaction indicating that when a stronger LMX relationship was in place, extroverts were more likely to use circumvention and repetition strategies. Implications are discussed.
