LMX, OCB and role perceptions

Reference paper:
Van Dyne, L., Kamdar, D., & Joireman, J. (2008). In-role perceptions buffer the negative impact of low LMX on helping and enhance the positive impact of high LMX on voice. Journal of Applied Psychology; Journal of Applied Psychology, 93(6), 1195.

Conclusion:
(A 50-word quick summary from my understanding)
The study demonstrated that Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is moderated by employee role perceptions. In particular, regardless of the target of OCB (supervisor or organization), in-role behavior substituted for low LMX in predicting helping and enhanced the relationship between LMX and Voice;

Quick Notes/queries:
(For my further delving)
  • How do Team-Member Exchange (TMX) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) influence LMX-Voice relationship?
  • How is Trust related to Voice?
  • How do psychological processes (such as empathy, agreeableness, emotional stability, conscientiousness and extraversion) influence role perceptions?
