ABSTRACT

Despite the important issue of leader's monitoring behavior on subordinates' task performance in a performance-oriented organization, little work has been studied about the relationship between leader's monitoring behavior and subordinates' task performance. Also, few studies have been carried out concerning the specific role of subordinates' calculus-based trust in the relationship between leader's monitoring behavior and subordinates' task performance. In this respect, this study divides leader's monitoring behavior into three dimensions (Informal discussion, Formal meeting, Direct observation), and examine the effect of these monitoring behaviors on subordinates' calculus-based trust, and task performance. Using data from 267 employees working at a finance company, hypotheses were tested. The findings of our research are as follows; first, leader's monitoring behavior is not likely to have a direct effect on the subordinates' task performance. Second, Informal discussion and Formal meeting have significant effects on the subordinates' calculus-based trust, while Direct observation has a negative influence on the subordinates' task performance. Finally, subordinates' calculus-based trust has a positive influence on subordinates' task performance effort. Also, further analysis was carried out for the mediating effect of calculus-based trust. Implications of this study and directions for future research are discussed in the conclusion.
