This study examines the impact of managerial behavior on several variables reflecting constructs felt to be important to understanding subordinate motivation. Data from a sample of 231 professionals and 15 assistant managers employed in the production department of a large information processing organization were found to support the role of supervisor behaviors in influencing effort expenditure, the perception of organizational contingencies, and most facets of job satisfaction. Supervisor behaviors were also related to job performance as well.
