TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship among leader-member exchange (LMX), perceived job security, and employee performance and found that LMX was positively related to employee altruism and work performance.
Abstract: This study investigated the relationships among leader–member exchange (LMX), perceived job security, and employee performance. Drawing on the job demands–resources model and conservation of resources theory, we expected both LMX and perceived job security would affect employee altruism and work performance in a positive manner. In addition, LMX and perceived job security were expected to interact to predict the two outcome variables. The hypotheses were tested with a sample of 184 employees in a state-owned enterprise in China. Our results showed that LMX, but not perceived job security, was positively related to employee altruism and work performance. Additionally, the effect of LMX on altruism was stronger for employees perceiving less job security. The findings indicated that LMX as a job resource becomes more impactful to altruistic performance when employees feel less secure at work.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted on a large sample of employees from a Spanish multinational construction company to evaluate job satisfaction among expatriates, repatriates, and domestic employees with no international experience.
Abstract: Purpose – The present study aims to provide an empirical evaluation of job satisfaction among expatriates, repatriates, and domestic employees with no international experience.Design/methodology/approach – The study was conducted on a large sample of employees from a Spanish multinational construction company. One‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Scheffe test were employed to analyse the data.Findings – After controlling for hierarchical status, the results indicated that, among these three groups of employees, there are some significant differences in the satisfaction ratings on job characteristics, career prospects, and internal communication. The authors did not, however, find differences in the mean satisfaction rating on general job satisfaction. Findings are discussed, as are limitations and suggestions for future research.Originality/value – The study contributes to the literature on job satisfaction.
