Abstract
With a focus on Chinese culture, this study investigated (1) the mediation effect of person-supervisor fit on the relationship between leader-member relationships (leader-member exchange and guanxi) and employee outcomes (organizational commitment, supervisory commitment, and intent to quit), (2) the comparative effects of leader-member exchange and guanxi on person-supervisor fit and outcomes, and (3) the moderation effect of person-organization fit on the relationship between person-supervisor fit and employee outcomes. The results show that person-supervisor fit served as a mediator between leader-member exchange/guanxi and employee outcomes. Besides, the predictive effect of guanxi on supervisory commitment was higher than that on organizational commitment. However, compared with guanxi, LMX had a stronger effect on person-supervisor fit. At last, this study also found that person-organization fit moderated the effect of person-supervisor fit on employee¡s intent to leave.
