The impact of participative leadership on job performance and organizational citizenship behavior: distinguishing between the mediating effects of affective and cognitive trust

This study examines the mediating effects of cognitive trust and affective trust on the relationship between supervisors' participative leadership behavior and subordinate work outcomes, using data obtained from 247 dyads in a manufacturing organization located in mainland China. Structural equation modeling revealed that while affective trust fully mediated the relationships between participative leadership of supervisor and subordinate job performance and organizational citizenship behavior, cognitive trust had non-significant effects. These findings underscore the importance of interpersonal interactions between the supervisor and subordinate for engendering subordinate work outcomes. They also lend support to the exchange (relationship)-based explanation as to how trust enhances the response of subordinates to the participative leadership behavior of their immediate supervisor, given that affective trust involves a process of social exchange between both parties over an extended period of time.     

Renminbi exchange rate exposure: evidence from Chinese industries

This paper investigates sensitivity of stock returns of industry-sorted Chinese firms with respect to renminbi exchange rate movements. Strong evidence of significant exposure is documented for 7 out of 16 Chinese industries. Evidence is also found of the size asymmetry effects. In addition, we explore the characteristics of the exposure, and detect evidence of significant exposure among non-exporters in some of the industries. Special attention is given to examining the time-varying exposure under the impact of the new Chinese exchange rate regime in place since 2005, in which even stronger exchange rate exposure is reported. The conditional exposure estimated in this paper also reveals the close relation between stock returns and changes of the renminbi exchange rate.     

企业集聚、劳动生产率与我国地区经济发展差异

经济一体化使得分工逐渐细化,产业内与产业间联系明显加强,企业的空间分布模式由分散逐渐向集聚发展。本文在新经济地理学理论分析的基础上,利用全国30个省市自治区(除西藏外)的面板数据,引入人力资本投资和技术水平作为控制变量建立模型,分析企业集聚、劳动生产率与我国地区经济发展差异的关系。实证分析结果表明,从全国层面看,劳动生产率对经济发展的贡献度最大,其次是人力资本投资,企业集聚与技术水平对地区经济发展水平也有显著正影响。分地区看,人力资本投资对东部地区经济发展贡献度最大,而企业集聚对中部地区的贡献度最大,劳动生产率与人力资本投资对西部地区经济发展贡献度很显著。
