Abstract
Research has shown that there is a current issue in leader
member exchange (LMX) literature that needs to be
addressed through empirical research. LMX theory has
been shown to be related to outcomes such as employee
performance, employee turnover, job satisfaction,
organizational commitment, job climate, innovation,
organizational citizenship behaviour, empowerment, and
procedural and distributive justice (Graen & Uhlbien,
1995). But, there has been very limited research relating
LMX to employee engagement and intent to stay with an
organization. This quantitative study contributes to the
literature on LMX theory as it provides empirical evidence
that LMX is positively related to employee engagement and
employee intent to stay with an organization.
