This study aimed to investigate the effect of Leader Member Exchange (LMX) on organizational climate, using the quasi-experimental approach. The sample included 60 employees selected at random from Sooreh University to participate in this research. For pretest the participants responded to Preziosi's (1980) Organizational Diagnosis Questionnaire (ODQ) which assesses seven dimensions of organizational climate (Purpose, Structure _ Leadership_Relationship-Rewards- Helpful mechanism_Attitude toward change). After an interval of eight months all sample responded to the ODQ once again as the posttest. Results showed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in terms of Purpose, Leadership, Relationship, Helpful mechanism and Attitude toward change. Pretest scores of men and women were found to be significantly different in terms of Rewards.

Capitalizing upon Implicit Leadership Theories (ILTs) and Leader-member exchange (LMX), this research aims to explore the relationship between the congruence of employees’ ILTs and those traits of their managers and employees’ supportiveness, resistance and behavioral creativity for change. After distributing three questionnaires at three points among teachers, 296 participants completed all three questionnaires.Having conducted some confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs), we utilized Latent Congruence Modeling (LCM) to analyze the final proposed models. The findings showed that the congruence has no direct effects on behavioral change responses.However, LMX can function as a full mediator. LMX has significant relationships with employees’ support and resistance for change. Nevertheless, the path coefficient was non-significant for behavioral creativity to change. This study, therefore, extends prevailing follower-centric perspective on leadership and strengthens its essence in organizational change with fundamental socio-cognitive research.

This study investigated the relationship between the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and Job satisfaction among high school teachers in Yazd. The targeted population included high school teachers in Yazd. According to Krejcie and Morgan’s table 285 teachers were selected using stratified sampling. A use was made of modified Leader-Member Exchange questionnaire (Liden & Maslyn, 1998) and a modified questionnaire Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey (1994). The reliability and validity of both instruments were explored and approved. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the Quality of LMX and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction. Besides, a significant positive relationship was observed between all of the four dimensions of LMX and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction. Regression analysis also indicated that the Affect and Professional Respect could predict 40 percent of the common variance of the Teachers’ Job Satisfaction Variable. The results of the present research suggested that enhancing leader-member exchange might improve teachers’ Job Satisfaction.

The purpose of the study is to make a comparison between teaching the theory of LMX with or without counseling services to managers and its effect on their professional attitudes in educational organization. The research methodology was quasi experimental. There were two experimental groups randomly assigned. The pretest was administered to both groups. Then, LMX theory was taught to them and one of the groups was also given some counseling services about the importance of counseling, organizational counseling, and the way of effectively communicate with the staff. The population consisted of all managers of education organization in the school year of 88-89 in the city of Khoi. The sample consisted of 70 subjects who were assigned to two groups using multistep random sampling method. The tools were the questionnaires of personal satisfaction (Martin and Ganon), job satisfaction (smith, Candle, and Houlin), and organizational commitment (Moudai et. Al). The results showed that teaching the theory of LMX with counseling services increases the managers’ organizational commitment. Furthermore, the effect of teaching the theory is different on male and female managers when their personal and job satisfaction as well as their organizational commitment are taken into consideration. The effect of teaching the theory with counseling services is different when the managers' experiences are taken into consideration.

Objective: Although research has been conducted on the impact of voice of employees on job satisfaction consequences such as job performance, organizational commitment, burnout, and turnover, few studies have examined the impact of other variables on the relationship between these variables. Therefore, given the high impact of voice of employees on job satisfaction consequences, it is important to recognize such variables. Therefore, the present study investigates the moderating role of leader-member exchange in the relationship between voice of employees and job satisfaction. Methods: The statistical population includes all managers and non-managers of Central Bank of Saderat Bank with 2063 employees. The sample size at the level of 0. 05 errors was estimated to be 330 and the statistical sample members were selected by stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire with 23 items that its content and structure validity was confirmed and its reliability was 0. 947. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling with the help of SmartLess software.
