Abstract
By using an instrument derived from LBDQ From XII, dyadically oriented leader behavior was measured based on managerial sample in manufacturing industry. Two factors, facilitating freedom on the job and role clarification were identified as key dimensions of a leader's dyadic orientation. A multivariate analysis of co-variance technique was employed with a 2 (High vs. Low freedom facilitation)×2 (High vs. Low growth need strength) design. Results of the analysis clearly indicated that the effect of freedom facilitation upon subordinate managers' job performance and satisfaction was moderated by GNS. That is, the effect of leader behavior was outstanding only when subordinate's GNS was high, but when it was low, no systematic dyadic effect from the leader.
