ABSTRACT
Procedural justice and perceived organizational support as rational social exchange mechanisms, this study examined its role on employee-supervisor pair relationships at specific work units in R&D of a field survey, which obtained from employee?"supervisor dyads of 78 high-tech firms located in a major city in southern Taiwan. At cross-level analysis, the results of hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) indicated that both the procedural justice and perceived organizational support were significantly related to individual outcomes, such as job engagement, satisfaction, and creativity. At individual-level analysis, the results of structural equation modeling (SEM) provided support for all proposed hypotheses. The extension of the study findings related to the conceptual and practical issues of social exchange perspectives are discussed.
