ABSTRACT

This study examines how public employees’ perceptions about goal-directedness in the workplace impact their perceived leader support and attitudinal outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction and turnover intention). Specifically, this study focuses on public employees’ perceived leader support as a mediator in understanding the relationship between goal-directedness and employee outcomes. This study empirically found that goal-directedness plays an important role in enhancing public employees’ perceived leader support and in their behavioral outcomes. More importantly, findings show that public employees’ perceived leader support mediated the relationship between goal-directedness and their behavioral outcomes such as job satisfaction and turnover intention. The findings of this research provide new insights about underlying processes in understanding the relationship between goal-directedness and employees’ work attitudes and behavioral outcomes.
