Fostering subordinate is a significant method to improve the cooperating quality and promote positive outcomes. However, little is known about the influencing factors and mechanisms of subordinate . To address this issue and explore the influencing factors of subordinate , we draw on self-categorization theory to develop a mediation model to examine whether and how deep-level similarity affects subordinate , casting the leader-member exchange (LMX) as a mediator. A two-wave online survey was conducted and 316 data was collected. A Structure Equation Modeling analysis was used to test all hypotheses with Mplus 7. Results showed that the deep-level similarity could positively predict subordinate and LMX, respectively. Additionally, LMX was a significant predictor of subordinate as well as it mediated the positive relationships between deep-level similarity and subordinate . These findings expand our understanding of the antecedents of subordinate . It is suggested that developing subordinates' deep-level similarity with supervisors and LMX relationships are instrumental in cultivating subordinate which promote positive outcomes. Organizations should integrate effective management programs into managerial strategies to enhance deep-level similarity and LMX, in turn, fosters subordinate .
培养下属是提高合作质量和促进积极成果的重要方法。然而，对于下属的影响因素和机制知之甚少。为了解决这个问题并探索下属的影响因素，我们借鉴自我分类理论来开发一个中介模型，以检验深层次相似性是否以及如何影响下属，将领导成员交换（LMX）作为中介。进行了两波在线调查，收集了316份数据。使用结构方程模型分析在Mplus 7中检验所有假设。结果表明，深层次相似性可以分别正向预测下属和LMX。此外，LMX是下属的重要预测指标，并且它介导了深层次相似性与下属之间的正向关系。这些发现扩展了我们对下属前因的理解。建议培养下属与上级的深层次相似性以及LMX关系有助于培养下属，从而促进积极成果。组织应将有效的管理计划纳入管理策略，以增强深层次相似性和LMX，进而培养下属。
