Abstract: This research analyzes, with a quantitative correlational design, the influence of leadership behavior in human resources development in SME companies in Mexico. To perform the analysis, the supportive/growth oriented leadership model of Song was used. Factor analysis, applying Varimax rotation, was used to investigate the underlying structure of the scale items. Subsequently, a regression analysis was conducted to establish the strength of the relationship between leader´s supportive behaviors and human resource growth. The results of this study suggest the impact of leader behavior in developing employees is reduced, when firms face high levels of uncertainty. This study provides empirical support for the research hypotheses, related to how leader's behavior has a direct effect on human resources development in organizations. The practical implications of the results are subject to discussion. Future research may examine employees' perceptions about uncertainty, analyzing organizational context and individual characteristics that are associated with uncertainty.
