%X This study examines the process and context of the relationship between leader¨Cleader exchange (LLX) and subordinate organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) such that direct supervisorsĄ¯ attitudes and behaviors affect the relationship. Integrating social exchange theory with signaling theory, we argue that LLX influences the amount of OCBs that direct supervisors can obtain from subordinates and depends on direct supervisorsĄ¯ organizational-based self-esteem and support. In a sample of 290 direct supervisor/subordinate-dyads, using hierarchical linear modeling, we found that LLX partially mediates through supervisor support and is positively related to OCBs, and the mediation is highest in high organizational-based self-esteem
