Relation between Proper Management, Feedback Frequency and Employee Age

Abstract

Research suggests that effective feedback intervention must be frequent (Kuvaas, Buch, & Dysvik, 2016; Lam, DeRue, Karam, & Hollenbeck, 2011; Salmoni, Schmidt, & Walter, 1984). In the present study, the dependency of psychologically perceived proper management is analysed with respect to satisfaction of feedback frequency and different age groups of employees in a Central and Eastern European (CEE) country. The empirical study is based on survey data from 1,405 employees in a large Lithuanian manufacturing entity. Results shows that perceived proper management is highly related to employee satisfaction and feedback intervention frequency, but a clear relation to the employee age is not found
