The intercorrelations between Leader-Member Exchange and Individual Performance and Organizational Citizenship Behavior has been examined. The meta-analysis confirmed the correlation between those variables. The research revealed some new problems: that research tools used for LMX examination are not standardized, what can cause some differences in achieved results. Another problem that has been recognized was concerned with cause and effects relationship between LMX and individual performance. The identification of value exchanged in LMX has been recognized as further direction of the research.

Wymiana LMX a zachowania indywidualne pracowników. Metaanaliza Artykuł zawiera metaanalizę 56 studiów opublikowanych w 47 artykułach naukowych. Zbadano korelacje pomiędzy jakością wymiany pomiędzy przełożonym a podwładnym a wydajnością wynikającą z roli oraz zachowaniami etosowymi pracowników. Wyniki metaanalizy potwierdziły istnienie słabych i przeciętnych korelacji pomiędzy zmiennymi. Analiza badań ujawniła istnienie dwóch problemów: zróżnicowania narzędzi badawczych, co może mieć wpływ na wyniki badań oraz niejednoznaczność przyczynowo-skutkową, która kwestionuje założenia modelu LMX. Wskazano także na możliwości dalszych badań, szczególnie w zakresie identyfikacji wartości będących przedmiotem wymiany.
