Abstract
In this study of 142 managerial dyads in four industrial settings, the accuracy of the subordinate's perceptions of what his superior expects of him and the extent to which the subordinate complies to those expectations were significantly related to: (1) job satisfaction expressed by the subordinate and (2) his performance evaluated by his superior. However, the relationships which involved compliance were of significantly greater magnitude than those involving role accuracy. Both role accuracy and compliance were found to be “necessary” but not “sufficient” conditions for high evaluation of performance.
