The relationship of the leader member exchange mediated by the perception of romantic relationships at workplace

Abstract

 This study aims to examine the relationship between Leader-Member Exchange (quality of the direct leader-subordinate relationship) with Motivation and Commitment mediated by the Perception of Romance in the workplace. This analysis uses the dependent variable (commitment and motivation) and the independent variable (LMX (quality of direct superior-subordinate relationship) and perceptions of romantic relationships at work). The sampling method used in this study used a purposive sample distributed to all employees in the South Jakarta Area, with an unknown population and SEM sampling with the gameshow formula with a sample size of 100 respondents. The data analysis method in this study used Partial Least Square (PLS), with Smart PLS running on computer media. The results of this study show that all variables are valid and reliable. Thus, the superior-subordinate relationship also positively impacts the perception of romantic relationships in the workplace. Interestingly, LMX towards commitment and motivation mediated by perception of romantic relationship has a positive impact but is not significant. Therefore, this study suggests that the company arrange a clause or policy regarding the relationship between employees.
