This study looks at the social exchange process between leaders and subordinates to examine a partnership-oriented relationship between leaders and members. We examine the relationship between high quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) and subordinates’ turnover intention (TI) in a Chinese context. We extend current research by empirically testing that subordinates’ satisfaction on career advancement opportunities moderates a U-Shaped relationship between LMX and TI. Hierarchical regression results supported our hypotheses and thus implied a dark side of partnership especially within high-performance work system where partnership is assumed to be highly efficient. Directions for future research are discussed.
