Abstract:Using information processing theory and perceived cost-perceived value analysis as the overarching framework, the study explored the influencing mechanism of supervisor developmental feedback on follower feedback avoidance behavior (FAB). Results in a sample of 333 employees revealed that: (1) Supervisor developmental feedback was negatively correlated with follower FAB; (2) follower learning goal orientation was found to partially mediate the association of supervisor developmental feedback with follower FAB; (3) Perceived organizational developmental performance appraisal orientation moderated the relationship that supervisor developmental feedback was more negatively linked to FAB in organizations with high developmental performance orientation. The study is the first effort to explore the determinants of FAB from the perspective of supervisor developmental feedback, which can provide necessary theoretical guidance for management intervention in organizations.
