Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model of the
relationship between supervisory reports of subordinate feedbackseeking
behavior and subordinate reports of job satisfaction.
Specifically, we applied literature on feedback seeking and
socialization to demonstrate that this relationship is mediated by
role clarity. Further, we found that the relationship between
feedback-seeking behavior and role clarity is moderated by social
skill, implying that subordinates with greater social skill are
better able to perceive, interpret, and apply feedback information
to enhance role clarity. Implications for practice and future
research are discussed.
