| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 106 === The demands of successful leader-subordinate relationship in organizations had increased due to technological advances and global economic changes in today’s work environments (Gilley, McMillan, & Gilley, 2009), which was an important suggestion that the effectiveness of organizational functioning depends on the effectiveness of these relationships. An organization can be benefited from placing the matching leaders to positions based on their and subordinates’ interpersonal styles. Hence, the quantitative study aimed to evaluate the models of the Leader-Subordinate Relational Identity (LSRI; Tsai & Chou, 2015) in light of the adult attachment styles because there was a limited empirical research carried out in Asian countries in this domain to date, and most existing studies were primarily focusing on individuals’ overt behaviors. The central purpose of this study was to understand whether the adult attachment styles would influence one’s model of LSRI differently in the Chinese culture. Moreover, it aimed to examine the moderating effects of psychological traditionality and modernity (PT and PM; Yang, 2003; 2007) between adult attachment styles and LSRI. It intended to endeavor to extend the related field of literature and provide several practical implications for organizations to more accurately shape their workgroups. The study was analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis with SPSS software. There were four types of online questionnaire had been used as a method of data collection. The research sample was composed of 204 participants of all ages via the written or online surveys in Taiwan. Results showed that adult attachment styles were positively associated with the model of LSRI as expected. It also found a significant moderation effect of PT and PM on the relationship between the secure attachment and communal-affection and care-repay relational identity. Theoretical and practical implications for organizations and for the model of LSRI were discussed.
