Abstract

Identifying the antecedents of feedback seeking has attracted and continues to attract considerable research attention. In this study, we developed a model to advance this research line and tested it with data from a sample of 248 supervisor–subordinate dyads. The results suggest that leader’s listening behavior positively relates to employees’ feedback seeking, mediated by employees’ feedback self-efficacy. Furthermore, perceived organizational support moderates the relationship between leader’s listening behavior and employees’ feedback self-efficacy.
