“…These results differ from those of Plessis and Boshoff (2018), who found that the internalized moral perspective achieved the highest level. They also differed from Guajardo's (2019) results that the highest-ranked elements of authentic leadership were relational transparency, followed by the internalized moral perspective, self-awareness, and balanced processing.…”

“…However, the current study's results differ from those of Jaradat et al (2020), who demonstrated that faculty members' levels of experience had no effect on their perceptions of authentic leadership practices. They also differed from those of Plessis and Boshoff (2018), whose results showed no statistically significant differences regarding the years of service in the organization and the practical experience of the study sample personnel of employees and the authentic leadership behaviors of leaders.…”

This study aimed to determine the degree of practicing authentic leadership among public-school leaders from teachers’ viewpoint while also revealing whether statistically significant differences exist between the respondents’ means of the degree of authentic leadership practice due to number of years of service, specialization, and/or scholastic stage. A descriptive-analytical approach was adopted. The study population consisted of teachers. A stratified random sample of 351 female teachers was chosen. The questionnaire used consisted of four main axes that included the four authentic leadership elements: self-awareness, relational transparency, the internalized moral perspective, and balanced processing. The results indicated a high degree of the practice of the four dimensions of authentic leadership among the leaders as well as the presence of statistically significant differences between teachers’ mean responses about the degree of authentic leadership practice among the leaders of public-schools due to the number of years of service in favor of the teachers whose years of service ranged between 5 and 10 years as well as academic level in favor of intermediate school teachers. The researchers also offer several recommendations. Keywords: Authentic leadership; school principals; practice leadership;

“…Followership is as crucial as leadership for organizational success. Significant efforts have been made by numerous researchers to examine how the transformational leadership [ 3 , 8 , 11 ], workplace authentic leadership [ 12 ], ethical leadership [ 6 , 13 ], servant leadership [ 14 ] and humble leadership [ 15 ] affects followership or other employees’ behaviors; however, enough attention has still not been given to the influence of internal factors of followers on followership from the followers’ perspective [ 16 , 17 ]. At the same time, only a few studies have examined the role of self-efficacy as mediators between follower identification and followership [ 18 , 19 ].…”

“…Although the influence of followership in organizations has received much attention and scholars have explored the causes of followership from multiple perspectives, most of these studies tend to focus on the leader, mainly exploring the influence of the leader’s implicit cognition, leadership behavior, leadership style, and other factors on followership [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Significant efforts have been made by numerous researchers to examine how transformational leadership [ 3 , 8 , 11 ], workplace authentic leadership [ 12 ], ethical leadership [ 6 , 13 ], servant leadership [ 14 ] and humble leadership [ 15 ] affects followership or other employees’ behaviors.…”

Followership is as crucial as leadership for organizational success. Significant efforts have been made by numerous researchers to examine how leadership influences followership; however, not enough attention has been paid to the influence of internal factors of followers on followership from the followers’ perspective. This study relies on identity theory to understand the relationship between the influence of followers’ perceived self-following traits (FTP) and followership prototype (FP) on followership, and the mediation role of self-efficacy in the relationship between FTP-FP consistency and followership. In order to avoid common method bias and ensure good discriminant validity of the variables, a two-wave time-lagged data collection design was used to collect 276 valid questionnaires from front-line business staff and junior supervisors in private and public sector organizations of China. Polynomial regression and response surface analysis were used to investigate the effect of FTP-FP consistency on followership. The empirical findings indicated that (1) the more consistent FTP-FP, the stronger the followership; (2) compared to the ‘low FTP-low FP’, employees with ‘high FTP-high FP’ had stronger followership; (3) employees with ‘high FTP-low FP’ had stronger followership than ‘low FTP-high FP’; (4) self-efficacy played a mediating role between FTP-FP consistency and followership. These findings contribute to management practice by revealing antecedents to followership from the perspective follower identity and the effect of follower identity on followership.

“…We suggest that when followers observe that their group leaders exhibit transparency, self-awareness, moral regulation and clarity, they have greater trust in their leaders and this leads to the manifestation of authentic behaviour at the follower’s level. Although some of the previous studies have examined authentic leadership and work engagement relationship at the individual level in a different context (du Plessis, 2014), the present study proposed an integrated model of authentic leadership, authentic followership and work engagement from a multi-level perspective. The findings of the study was found to support the proposed relationship between authentic followership and work engagement.…”

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
