Using a quantitative research method, data was collected with a cross-sectional survey. \u00a0A regression analysis indicates that LMX has a significant effect on affective commitment of teachers in the five vocational colleges examined in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Further analysis showed that communication satisfaction (relational and informational communication satisfaction) partially mediated the influence of LMX (represented in this study as programme managers) on teachers\u2019 affective commitment. The findings are consistent with previous studies about the influence of workplace relationships on teachers\u2019 behaviors, especially supervisor-subordinate relationships. The implications of these findings are explained.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sam Erevbenagie Usadolo (Durban University of Technology, South Africa)<\/li>\n<li>Queen Emwenkeke Usadolo (North-West University, South Africa)<\/li>\n<li>Joseph Edigin (Walden University, United States of America)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>affective commitment, communication satisfaction, leader-member exchange, supervisor-subordinate relationship, workplace relationship<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The Role of Communication Satisfaction in the Relationship between Leader-Member Exchange and Teachers\u2019 Affective&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[1976,2153,1977,1978,1979,1980],"class_list":["post-5165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-affective-commitment","tag-ajims","tag-communication-satisfaction","tag-leader-member-exchange","tag-supervisor-subordinate-relationship","tag-workplace-relationship","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
