“…Performance evaluations, which are rarely conducted only once or twice per year, will not be sufficient for helping employees in improving their performance [14]. Supervisory feedback, either formally or informally, can fill in the gaps between employee demand on feedback and formal performance evaluations and feedbacks [13]. In addition, more opportunities for feedback may help employees to obtain development-related advice on a more consistent basis [14,57], which will ultimately contribute to their career development as well as organizational effectiveness.…”

“…The results were consistent with the literature in public management, showing that managerial efforts are effective in improving organizational performance. Su et al (2019) found a positive link between developmental feedback and employee performance with evidence of the impacts of contextual factors on the relationship. The relationship between performance feedback and performance was partially mediated by feedback-seeking behaviors.…”

Scholars have emphasized the importance of supervisory feedback in improving individual performance. Subordinates benefit from clear communication of organizational goals and expected behaviors of employees, which are linked to the improvement of individual performance and organizational effectiveness. We examine the dynamic relationship between feedback on performance and individual performance, which is mediated by performance goal clarity. Given the potential influence of contextual factors on the relationship, we also test the moderation effect of autonomy on the relationship between performance goal clarity and individual performance. The data collected from the local government workforce in Korea were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The findings show that performance feedback is significantly and positively related to individual performance, mediated by performance goal clarity. In addition, the mediation effect of performance goal clarity was positively moderated by autonomy. The results imply that performance feedback can contribute to the improvement of individual performance by helping employees clearly understand the performance goals they need to accomplish. The higher levels of autonomy may promote the positive link between a clear understanding of performance goals and individual performance.

“…Supervisor developmental feedback allows employees to receive support, mentoring, learning development, work autonomy and being noticed and recognized at work, which can satisfy their internal psychological needs (Allan, Autin and Duffy 2016) and make them discover the meaning and value of their work. To begin with, supervisor developmental feedback empowers employees to work autonomously, provides them with opportunities and space to develop autonomously (Su et al 2019) and satisfies employees' autonomy need. Second, supervisor developmental feedback provides employees with resources and work guidance (An, Yang and Liu 2021) and helps them update their knowledge and skills (Wang and Zhang 2021).…”

“…Based on SDT, the positive external information inspires personal intrinsic motivation and plays a pivotal role in employees' work meaningfulness and other positive psychological tendencies (Ryan and Deci 2000). In the organization, supervisors are the primary source for employees to receive information about their work (Su et al 2019). When supervisors provide employees with positive work feedback, they will have better work feelings and experience and perceive their work as meaningful (Liu and Long 2021).…”

This article used 677 questionnaires obtained by stratified sampling as a sample and used the hierarchical regression analysis method and the bootstrap method to analyze the data. Based on Self‐Determination Theory, this article integrated the Leader‐Member Exchange (LMX) situation to explore the mechanism of supervisor developmental feedback on employees' work meaningfulness. The results showed that supervisor developmental feedback aroused employees' work meaningfulness by meeting the autonomy need and relatedness need. Although competence need satisfaction could not enhance employees' work meaningfulness, its development could satisfy the relatedness need and autonomy need and thus boost work meaningfulness. High‐quality LMX enhanced the impact of supervisor developmental feedback on relatedness need satisfaction. This article explored the antecedents of employees' work meaningfulness from the perspectives of supervisor behavior and supervisor‐subordinate interaction. Our study completely presents the internal mechanism of employees' work meaningfulness from the psychological level, expands on existing research and provides practical guiding value for organizations to activate employees' work meaningfulness.
