Abstract

The article discusses the effectiveness of supervisor attachment working models (SAWM) in measuring supervisor-employee relationships. Individuals possess four types of attachment working models representing positive and negative expectations of themselves and of supervisors. The article looks at how an individual's model is developed specifically towards supervisors and it how it affects socialization, such as job role crafting and work innovation. Attachment theory can also explain certain organizational outcomes. Supervisors should reach out and share work progress with the individual and not mistake silence as a positive sign.
