The authentic leadership paradigm has been widely advocated as an effective leadership approach for organizations interested in promoting positive and ethical leader—member relations. Despite accumulating evidence concerning the positive follower effects of authentic leadership, research examining potential boundary conditions remains limited. The political influence theoretical perspective promises to shed new light on the effects of authentic leadership by proposing that authentic leadership may be less effective in political contexts, bounding its positive operation on followers. Specifically, we anticipate that organizational politics will erode the motivational power of authentic leaders on followers, reducing their ability to engender positive performance contributions in followers. We also predict that organizational politics will weaken the positive relationship between authentic leadership and job satisfaction by reducing the ability of employees to realize their goals at work. To explore these theoretical assertions, we incorporated a two-study functional replication (n1 = 265; n2 = 175) to ascertain how authentic leadership and organizational politics impact follower job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and task performance. We find that organizational politics consistently weaken the positive effects of authentic leadership on follower OCB across two studies. Furthermore, in Study 2, our findings suggest that organizational politics attenuate the positive impact of authentic leadership on follower job satisfaction and task performance. We discuss theoretical and practical implications.

真实性的局限性:组织政治如何约束真实领导对下属满意度和绩效的积极影响

真正的领导范式已被广泛提倡作为一种有效的领导方法,适用于有兴趣促进积极和道德的领导 - 成员关系的组织。尽管积累了关于真实领导的积极追随者效应的证据,但对潜在边界条件的研究仍然有限。政治影响理论的观点有望通过提出真实领导在政治环境中可能不太有效,限制其对追随者的积极运作来阐明真实领导的影响。具体来说,我们预计组织政治会削弱真正的领导者对追随者的激励能力,降低他们为追随者产生积极绩效贡献的能力。我们还预测,组织政治会降低员工实现工作目标的能力,从而削弱真实领导力与工作满意度之间的正相关关系。为了探索这些理论断言,我们纳入了一项两项研究的功能复制(n 1  = 265;n 2  = 175) 以确定真实的领导和组织政治如何影响追随者的工作满意度、组织公民行为 (OCB) 和任务绩效。我们发现,在两项研究中,组织政治不断削弱真实领导对追随者 OCB 的积极影响。此外,在研究 2 中,我们的研究结果表明,组织政治减弱了真实领导对下属工作满意度和任务绩效的积极影响。我们讨论理论和实践意义。
