Abstract

Organizational culture and the leader-member exchange (LMX) were two recognized factors that can influence the job satisfactory, working out come and even the success of a modern company. This study aims at investigating how organizational communication can influence the leader-member exchange. By deeply observation and interviewing leaders and members in a Chinese company-Smart Education Company, the study finds out that a powerful but still benevolent boss has the most impact on the exchange process. Other different cultural dimensions can influence the leader-member exchange in different ways. All kings of exchange can be influenced by organizational culture.
