 Authentic Leadership and Team Members’ Outcomes: A Cross-level and Multi-level AnalysisBeena Prakash Nair, T. Prasad and Shreekumar K. Nair Management and Labour Studies, 2022, vol. 47, issue 2, 165-182 Abstract: This study considers the multi-level research design to build on the Conservation of Resource (COR) theory to help develop a model that links authentic leadership to followers’ outcomes. Though previous studies have examined the direct effect of leadership and followers’ outcome at the individual level, findings of the impact of authentic leadership at the cross-level and multi-level are limited. Consistent with our hypotheses, the findings of the study, from a sample of 547 dyads from the financial sector in India, revealed that authentic leadership has a significant impact on authentic followership and team-level work engagement. The cross-level analysis indicated that 8.4 per cent of the variance in authentic followership is attributable to authentic leadership at the team level. Likewise, the multi-level analysis revealed that 9.4 per cent of the variance at work engagement between the teams is attributable to authentic leadership. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed further JEL: M12 Keywords: Authentic leadership; authentic followership; work engagement; cross-level analysis; multi-level analysis; variance exhibit (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:sae:manlab:v:47:y:2022:i:2:p:165-182 DOI: 10.1177/0258042X211034614 Access Statistics for this article More articles in Management and Labour Studies from XLRI Jamshedpur, School of Business Management & Human Resources |
