Summary: This study investigates the impact of organizational factors, leader-member exchange (LMX), and team-member exchange (TMX) on seafarers' safety citizenship behavior (SCB) in Taiwan's shipping industry. The results show that the safety climate plays a moderating role in the relationship between LMX and SCB, but not in the relationship between TMX and SCB. This study contributes to the literature on safety by highlighting the importance of the safety climate in linking LMX, TMX, and safety citizenship behavior.

Summary: This study examines the impact of leader-member exchange differentiation (LMXD) on employee safety performance in the Chinese construction industry. The research found that LMXD can directly and indirectly affect employee safety performance through negative emotions and work engagement, with interpersonal trust playing a moderating role. Organizations should pay attention to the negative impact of LMXD and strive to create a fair working environment to ensure employee safety.

Summary: This study investigates the role-making process and the roles played by employees and leaders. The findings suggest that role-making behaviors are influenced by and also influence the leader-member exchange (LMX) relationship between leaders and employees. The study also reveals that initial LMX is associated with increased challenge-seeking behaviors, but these behaviors do not lead to greater LMX in the long run. Furthermore, the study shows that the direct and reciprocal relationships between LMX and role-making behaviors are weakened when employees experience high levels of emotional ambivalence.

Summary: The study identifies key drivers of safety climate from the perspective of leader-member exchange (LMX) and uses Bayesian Network simulations to predict the most effective strategies for improving safety climate in the trucking industry. Results show that supervisory integrity and LMX have the strongest independent effects on safety climate, with joint strategies involving LMX and psychological ownership being the most effective for promoting organizational safety climate. Enhancing leaders' communication skills, encouraging commitment from employees/leaders, and providing more autonomy to employees are key strategies for improving safety climate in the trucking industry.

Summary: Three studies integrated relational leadership theory with affective events theory to examine how leaders' perspectives in dyadic relationships influence differential leader behaviors directed toward each subordinate in terms of safety enforcement. The studies revealed a curvilinear relationship between leader-member exchange and safety enforcement, as well as the moderating role of leaders' safety commitment. Findings suggest that leaders are likely to monitor safety most closely for low- and high-SLMX subordinates, but mid-SLMX subordinates are most likely to be overlooked, with implications for fostering a safer workplace.

Summary: This study explores the impact of abusive supervision on team and individual creativity, highlighting the roles of TLMX and DLMX. Findings suggest a negative relationship between abusive supervision and TLMX, with the strength of this relationship moderated by DLMX. Additionally, a higher level of DLMX weakens the positive relationship between TLMX and team creativity.

Summary: In team contexts, leaders develop differentiated relationships with employees, which may result in some employees having inferior relationships with the leader. However, little research has been done on how and when employees with low relative leader-member exchange (RLMX) react towards the leader. Based on social comparison theory, this study examines how and when RLMX may lead to unethical pro-leader behavior (UPLB). The findings suggest that envy mediates the relationship between RLMX and UPLB, and this indirect relationship is moderated by the team-level distributive justice climate.

Summary: In this study, the effect of leader self-deprecating humor on employee silence was analyzed, and the mechanism of the role of leader-member exchange (LMX) was discussed based on social exchange theory. The results showed that self-deprecating humor significantly reduces employee silence and improves LMX quality. LMX plays a complete mediating role in the process of self-deprecating humor influencing employee silence. Additionally, affective exchange between leaders and employees is an essential factor in reducing stress and employee silence.
