本研究實証探討企業親信對其角色以及對其主管的知覺，並比較親信與其他員工之 間的知覺差異。 研究者共寄發 300 份問卷，回收 182 份有效樣本。其中，45 份來自親信 ，137 份來自一般員工。研究結果顯示，親信對主管的評分較員工對主管的評分為高。另外 ，親信的不同角色知覺之間呈正相關，顯示親信知覺到不同角色是相互支援的。而早先研究 發現顯示，員工對親信的角色之間存在較複雜且不一致的相關性。又，對親信而言，主管的 關懷行為與親信角色中的諮詢者、黑白臉、及公關使之間呈正相關，主管的結構行為則與親 信角色無關。與早先研究發現對照後顯示，不論對親信或是其他員工而言，主管的關懷行為 與親信的正面角色是存在關聯性的。這些研究結果的意涵將予以討論。

The Researcher Sent out 300 Questionnaires, Including 182 Effective Ones. Among Them, 45 were from Chin-Shins and 137 from other Employees.
