Introduction to the report:
In this talk, I will present our research on how emotions emerge and impact member behaviors in their daily exchanges with supervisors. Results from a preregistered experimental study with 247 participants and an experience sampling study with time-lagged reports from 79 leaders and 145 members show that a positively imbalanced exchange increases members’ subsequent leader-directed helping via gratitude and that a negatively imbalanced exchange increases members’ subsequent risk-taking via pride. Moreover, the intensity of such effects hinges upon the average level of resource contributions of leader–member dyads. Our research casts light on the role of transient emotions in dynamic resource exchanges between leaders and members and enriches our knowledge of within-dyad fluctuations of social exchanges.
