Abstract

This chapter describes some individual differences and contextual factors surrounding variations in the management practice of prosocial feedback delivery, and discusses the possible implications that the Asia-Pacific context might have on these variations. Specifically, the authors describe individual differences in effectiveness beliefs about trait-expressive behaviors (implicit trait policy) and personality dimension (implicit dispositional motives) as predictors of supervisor feedback content. Also, they discuss the potential cultural variations in motivational concerns expressed in the feedback that are dependent on norms regarding the managerial role in the local context. Finally, the authors report on some data that examine the relationships between personality traits and motives, implicit trait policy, and feedback delivery and content. These discussions emphasize the important need to investigate the effect of local norms regarding work and work relationships and how they may contribute to a greater understanding of the dispositional influences of supervisor feedback.
