Through
a survey of 256 employees and their supervisors, the results show that the leader-member
relationship between the supervisor and the employee has a certain adjustment
effect on the relationship between organizational input and employee
contribution, which indicates that the role of the supervisor playing as a
spokesperson of employees is indeed having an influence on the role of the
organizational agent. When the supervisor thinks that the leader-member
relationship is good, it can promote the smooth progress of social exchange
between the organization and the employees, so that the input of the
organization can get higher job performance returns and work engagement of the
employees, but the emotional exhaustion between each other cannot be proved.
