| Popis | The present study investigated whether followers’ self-efficacy mediates the relation-ship between a transformational leadership style and followers’ engagement. 307 Czech employees evaluated the transformational leadership of their superior and their own work-related self-efficacy and work engagement. Of the 4 compared structural equation models, the model in which self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and engagement fitted best. The relationship between trans-formational leadership and self-efficacy showed to be weak, whereas the relationship between self-efficacy and engagement appeared to be moderately strong. A mediation analysis reported weak indirect effect of transformational leadership on engagement through self-efficacy. However, direct effect of transformational leadership on engage-ment was strong. Self-efficacy explained only a small portion of the relationship be-tween transformational leadership and engagement. Current research findings expand theories explaining changes in engagement and the mechanism of how transformational leadership influences leadership outcomes. |
