Feedback-seeking behavior is the act of employees seeking feedback from their supervisors or colleagues as a way to gather information about their job performance and improve themselves. Transformational leadership can have a significant effect on feedback-seeking behavior in the workplace. This study examined the relationship between transformational leadership and feedback-seeking behavior through testing the mediating and moderating effects. We propose that trust in leaders and engagement leads to feedback-seeking behavior rising. Furthermore, we also examine the potential moderator, including: self- efficacy, need for achievement to increase this relationship.
Our data set is collected in Vietnam (152 samples) from the hospitality industry. After that, we use SPSS 26 and AMOS 23 to test all proposed hypotheses. The study contributes to the transformational leadership literature as a key factor impacting employee’s feedback – seeking behavior. In the process of conducting this thesis, we cannot avoid limited aspects, which shed light on future research. Additionally, this research could be important implication for organization looking to improve their leadership effectiveness and employee development programs.
