Leader Values as Predictors of Employee Affect and Work Passion Intentions
Year: 2012
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the empirical connection between employee perceptions of their \nleaders’ values orientation, employee job-specific affect, and the resultant impact these two constructs have on \nemployee work passion intentions. Seven hundred forty-seven respondent surveys were analyzed using structural \nequation modeling (SEM) to assess the study’s proposed theoretical model. The latent constructs tested included \ncognition (i.e., perceptions of interpersonal work experience), affect, and intentions. Perceived leader self-concern \nshowed a significant direct correlation with negative job-specific affect as well as a negative relationship with intent \nto stay. Leader other-orientation showed sizeable, direct, significant correlations with employee positive job-specific \naffect and resultant work passion intentions such as intent to endorse, intent to perform, intent to stay, intention to \nuse discretionary effort, and intention to be an organizational citizen.
