TY - JOUR AU - Mayfield, Jacqueline PY - 2006/10/15 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - The Benefits of Leader Communication On Part-Time Worker Outcomes: A Comparison Between Part-Time and Full-Time Employees Using Motivating Language JF - Journal of Business Strategies JA - J Bus Strategies VL - 23 IS - 2 SE - Research Articles DO - 10.54155/jbs.23.2.131-154 UR - https://jbs-ojs-shsu.tdl.org/jbs/article/view/153 SP - 131-154 AB - <p>This study presents findings on the differential effects that leader communication<br>has on worker performance and job satisfaction for part-time and full-time<br>workers. For both part- and full-time employees, structural equation model results<br>indicate that leader communication, as measured through motivating language<br>(ML) use, has the same significant and positive effect on job satisfaction. However,<br>in the case of performance, leader ML use only has a significant relationship<br>with the output of full-time workers. These results indicate a boundary condition<br>to the effectiveness of leader communication, and suggest practical implications<br>for management interventions with today's workforce.</p> ER -
