Abstract
How superiors and subordinates attribute the subordinate's performance has
long been a widely studied field. One of the basic principles of the Theory of
Attribution as proposed by llcidcr (1958) is that there arc bound to be differences
between the attribution by the superior and the attribution n1ade by the subordinate. The
purpose of this study is to detern1ine whether the quality of communication and the
social distance between the superior and subordinate play an important role in
determining the degree of difference in the attributions 1nade by the superior and
subordinate on the subordinate's performance.
