Leaders facilitate work engagement: A study on frontline employees in a Danish retail bank

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Recent research focuses on the influence of positive leadership styles on employee perceptions of job resources as mediators of the relationship between the former and work engagement. This cross-sectional survey study explores the contribution of job resources provided by the immediate supervisors in explaining the variance in employee work engagement scores. The uniqueness of this study lies in that we differentiate the contribution of the immediate supervisor by compiling the measure tapping the specific construct. The study shows that 19,6% of the variance in employee work engagement scores can be explained by intrinsic job resources provided by immediate supervisors.
