This article bridges theory and practice to show that superiors' use of Sullivan's (1988) "motivating language theory" correlates significantly with subordinates' performance job satisfaction. In brief, Sullivan hypothesized motivating (including (1) perlocutionary or direction-giving, (2) illocutionary sharing feelings, (3) locutionary explaining culture) would have positive impact on key worker productivity process outcomes including was tested by the authors using a LISREL analysis found be true.

This study investigates the relationship between strategic leader language (as embodied in Motivating Language Theory) and employee absenteeism. With a structural equation model, two perspectives were measured for impact of spoken language: attitudes toward absenteeism actual attendance. Results suggest that does fact have positive, significant with work attendance through mediation effect worker attitude.

In addition, we look at direct ML SL same in separate analyses. Based on large, diverse sample, results suggest that...

Motivating language (ML) is a leader oral-communication strategy which has been significantly linked to such positive employee outcomes as higher job performance, increased satisfaction, lower intention turnover, and decreased absenteeism. However, most ML research not targeted an organizational system at multiple levels.
