Abstract
This research examined the influences of subordinate growth needs and job characteristics on the relationships between perceived leader behavior and subordinate satisfaction with the leader. It was hypothesized that these two kinds of situational factors will interact to influence the relationships.Data was collected from 369 employees of a department store.The major results were as follows: When subordinates having high growth needs worked on the job high in cooperation requirements, a positive relationship was found between the group maintenance of the leader and subordinate satisfaction, and when subordinates having high growth needs worked on the job low in cooperation requirements, no significant relationship was found.But, as for subordinates having low growth needs, positive relationships were found irrespective of these job characteristics.
