The bivariate correlation analysis results of the sub-groups in which supervisors’ job-<br />
role experience are fewer than 12 years, is compared with those where the supervisors’<br />
job-role experience are 12 years and more. The results presented in Table 34 indicate<br />
that LMX difference is correlated to subordinates’ organisational commitment, and<br />
there are no significant differences in the results. This implies that the differences in<br />
supervisor’s job - role experience do not have any influence on the relationship<br />
between LMX agreement and subordinates’ organisational commitment. The<br />
correlations in both the sub-groups are significant at the 0.01 level (two-tailed). The<br />
results further reveals that there is a small correlation (.211) between LMX difference<br />
and the subordinate’s turnover intent among the group in which supervisors’ job - role<br />
experience is fewer than 17.5 years. This correlation is significant at the 0.01 level<br />
(two-tailed).<br />
