Abstract
The concern here is to understand
how in organizations: a) authentic
leadership relates to work engagement
and psychological
ownership, and b) psychological
ownership interferes with the relationship
between authentic
leadership and work engagement.
Using a correlational research
design, the authors collected
cross-sectional data from
117 working professionals
through a Google Docs based
survey in India. They found
through regression analyses that
authentic leadership indirectly
relates to work engagement of
employees through the full mediation
of organization-based promotive
psychological ownership.
They discuss the implications for
theory and research and argue
that authentic leadership theory
should include context variables
such as control and position
power.
