Guided by self-determination and social exchange theories, we examine how leader-member exchange (LMX) quality impacts follower well-being. Despite LMX relationships being dynamic in nature, the way relationship quality varies over time and its impact on well-being has not been examined in detail. To address this important issue, a daily diary study is reported of employees from a variety of organizations. One hundred and fifty-eight participants completed a daily diary in the morning and evening for five consecutive workdays (k = 603 observations). Measures included hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and social and economic LMX exchanges. There was a significant variation of LMX quality over the diary days. Daily LMX quality predicted daily follower well-being (while controlling for morning well-being). Further, for those that interacted with their manager, social LMX exchanges but not economic LMX exchanges predicted daily well-being. Interaction characteristics (frequency, time, content) had a relatively small impact on daily well-being. As predicted, work engagement mediated the relation between daily LMX quality and social LMX exchanges (but not daily economic LMX exchanges) with well-being. The results show how LMX quality affects followers' well-being that varies daily, that is affected by leaders' behaviors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

领导成员交换 (LMX) 质量和追随者幸福感：每日日记研究。

在自我决定和社会交换理论的指导下，我们研究了领导-成员交换 (LMX) 质量如何影响追随者的幸福感。尽管 LMX 关系本质上是动态的，但关系质量随时间变化的方式及其对幸福感的影响尚未得到详细研究。为了解决这个重要问题，报告了来自不同组织的员工的每日日记研究。一百五十八名参与者在连续五个工作日的早上和晚上完成了每日日记（k = 603 次观察）。措施包括享乐和幸福感，以及社会和经济 LMX 交换。在日志日期间，LMX 质量存在显着差异。每日 LMX 质量预测每日追随者的幸福感（同时控制早晨的幸福感）。更远，对于那些与他们的经理互动的人来说，社交 LMX 交流而非经济 LMX 交流预测了日常幸福感。互动特征（频率、时间、内容）对日常幸福感的影响相对较小。正如预测的那样，工作参与调节了日常 LMX 质量和社会 LMX 交换（但不是日常经济 LMX 交换）与幸福感之间的关系。结果显示 LMX 质量如何影响追随者的幸福感，这种幸福感每天都在变化，而这种幸福感又受到领导者行为的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。工作投入调节了日常 LMX 质量和社会 LMX 交换（但不是日常经济 LMX 交换）与幸福感之间的关系。结果显示 LMX 质量如何影响追随者的幸福感，这种幸福感每天都在变化，而这种幸福感又受到领导者行为的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。工作投入调节了日常 LMX 质量和社会 LMX 交换（但不是日常经济 LMX 交换）与幸福感之间的关系。结果显示 LMX 质量如何影响追随者的幸福感，这种幸福感每天都在变化，而这种幸福感又受到领导者行为的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
