Authentic Leaders

Rego et al. and Malik et al. have suggested that more empirical research is necessary to recognize the system through which authentic leadership influences employee creativity. This is the first research which empirically tested and validated the mediating effect of work engagement and psychological empowerment on the relationship of authentic leadership and employee creativity. The results of this research supported all the hypotheses which states that authentic leadership has positive significant effect on employee creativity through work engagement and psychological empowerment. The results are considerable because they support the literature and it suggests that an authentic leader can provide an environment and working conditions that may help his employees to improve their performance especially in terms of creativity.
