Dissertation title
Growing Out of the Pain: Emotional and Helping Networks as a Remedy for Adverse Leader-Member Exchange Social Comparison

Dissertation Summary
I start by noting that leaders often inevitably differentiate among members in developing leader-member exchange (LMX), but such differentiation tends to cause negative outcomes for members with adverse LMX. In search of solutions for the negative outcomes, I focus on group members’ informal relationship in terms of envy, empathy, and helping, and investigate how low envy and high empathy facilitate help seeking and receiving among members, which then reverse the negative impact of adverse LMX.
