Do subordinates unequivocally prefer honest superv =isors? This study investigates whether congruence in supervisor-subordinate honesty has a positive effect on lowering the emotional exhaustion experienced by subordinates. For the research data, a two-part survey with a one-month time interval was conducted among office workers, and 409 responses were collected. These were empirically analyzed using polynomial regression analysis and response surface analysis, instead of the common methodology based on difference values used in past studies on the fit between a person and their environment. The analysis results confirmed that supervisor-subordinate congruence in honesty has a negative relationship with subordinates' emotional exhaustion and supervisor-subordinate congruence at higher levels of honesty will have stronger negative relationships with emotional exhaustion. This study expands the intrapersonal context of the existing research on supervisors' honesty to the interpersonal context and empirically demonstrates the effect of honesty congruence. It also discusses its theoretical and practical implications as well as limitations, and it provides suggestions for future studies.
下属是否明确偏爱诚实的上司？本研究旨在探讨上下级在诚实方面的一致性是否对降低下属的情绪耗竭有积极影响。对于研究数据，采用了具有一个月时间间隔的两部分调查，对上班族进行了调查，共收集到 409 份回复。这些回复使用多项式回归分析和响应面分析进行了实证分析，而不是过去关于人与环境匹配的研究中常用的基于差值的方法。分析结果证实，上下级在诚实方面的一致性与下属的情绪耗竭呈负相关，并且在更高水平的诚实一致性下，上下级的一致性与情绪耗竭的负相关更强。本研究将现有关于上司诚实的个体内背景扩展到人际背景，并通过实证证明了诚实一致性的效果。它还讨论了其理论和实践意义以及局限性，并为未来的研究提供了建议。
