内容简介:

Feeling appreciated is integral to developing and sustaining high-quality relationships, but many employees do not feel appreciated at work. While encouraging supervisors to express gratitude more frequently, we explore more nuanced insights. We propose a risk regulation model of felt appreciation at work, with two types of supervisor gratitude expression and two corresponding types of subordinate preference for the type of supervisor gratitude expression (with four new measures created). We argue that when supervisors engage more frequently in the type of gratitude expression that matches subordinates' preference, subordinates will feel more appreciated and engage more in a risk-carrying behavior—voice. In contrast, a misfit between supervisor gratitude expression and subordinate preference reduces subordinate felt appreciation and voice. A field survey study and a supplementary experiment support our model and provide nuanced insights on supervisor gratitude expression and subordinate felt appreciation.
