Human Resource Development and Performance Evaluation Employee Performance and Management Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior

Abstract

The present study investigated the positive influence of supervisor developmental feedback on employee performance through feedback-seeking, as well as the moderating role of political skill. Employees (n = 327, females = 59.6%) of a high-tech company completed measures of supervisor developmental feedback and political skill. The supervisors (n = 68, females = 51.3%) were invited to evaluate their employees’ feedback-seeking and performance. Following hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap analysis, results showed that supervisor developmental feedback was positively correlated to employees’ feedback-seeking and performance. The relationship between supervisor developmental feedback and employee performance was partly mediated by feedback-seeking. Moreover, the positive influence of supervisor developmental feedback on employees’ feedback-seeking and performance were moderated by political skill. Future managers and supervisors should leverage developmental feedback to facilitate employees’ feedback-seeking and performance.
