Abstract	This paper investigates whether bosses can significantly enhance their subordinates’ performance using an eight-wave panel dataset from a medium-sized Japanese firm comprising approximately 500 employees. The dataset is of all regular employees working in one manufacturing company including in both blue-collar and white-collar occupations of various division: Product, Sales, R&D, Planning, and Admin. About 40 supervisors were matched to their subordinates, and the evaluation outcomes were used to evaluate the workers’ performance. The results showed that ‘boss effects’ were heterogeneous, displayed a one-year lag, and lasted for 2 years. It was also found that these effects remained significant, even when employees were assigned new/different supervisors.
