As human resource management becomes more of an international topic with the number of multinational corporations growing, the goal of creating better Organisational Behaviour methods gains importance. This article conceptualises and analyses the model of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX). LMX theory describes the role making process between a supervisor (leader) and an individual subordinate (member). An employee's membership in a supervisor's in-group or out-group has bearing on the quality of the relationship between the leader and the member influencing employee performance. High quality relationship with supervisor is reflected in employee's attitude to work and results in fewer employment problems. A key component of high quality leader-member exchange appears to be the development of inter-personal trust that goes beyond the formal employment contract. On the basis of initial interactions the leader judges the quality of exchange and determines the level of delegation in the exchanges. The findings suggest that in the modern company the concept of organisational relations should be considered in more expansive terms.
