- Abstract
Using survey data from 227 employees, we draw from shared reality theory to study subordinate perceptions of family-supportive supervision, its antecedents and outcomes. We focus on similarity in salient subordinate and supervisor family-related demographics as an antecedent to perceived family-supportive supervision. As expected, female subordinates perceived more family-supportive supervision from female supervisors than from male supervisors. Likewise, parent subordinates perceived parent supervisors, compared with nonparent supervisors, to be more family supportive. Subordinate perception of family-supportive supervision also positively related to affective commitment - mediating the indirect positive relationship between similarity in family-related demographics and affective commitment.
