Abstract

This research shows employees have views on supervisor “face,” defined in terms of moral character and social status. Employee perceptions of supervisor face were examined as a mediator in the relationships between perceived organizational support and work outcomes in a survey of 278 hospital employees and their supervisors. Work outcomes were based on supervisor ratings of employee extra-role behavior and employee in-role behavior. Findings indicated partial mediation by perceptions of supervisor “face.” The evidence shows supervisor moral character and social status influenced work outcomes. Implications of the findings are discussed.
