Abstract

Purpose

Based on authentic leadership (AL) theory and research on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workplace experiences, this study proposes that AL explains variance beyond transformational leadership (TL) in attitudinal outcomes for LGBT managers compared to non-LGBT managers. It is further predicted that core self-evaluations (CSEs) bound relationships between AL, LGBT status and outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach

A time-lagged survey of 193 LGBT and 218 non-LGBT (i.e. heterosexual and cisgender) managers was conducted. The first survey assessed respondents' evaluations of their leadership behavior and CSEs whereas the second survey, conducted one month later, assessed role engagement and career satisfaction.

Findings

Regression and moderation analyses revealed support for the hypotheses. AL seems especially relevant for LGBT leaders, particularly at low levels of CSEs.

Practical implications

Leadership development programmes emphasizing AL could be particularly beneficial for LGBT managers, especially those low in CSEs. Harnessing a leader’s sense of identity could help those who have been marginalized.

Originality/value

The current study proposes, explains and demonstrates that relationships between AL and leader outcomes will likely be different between managers with and without stigmatized identities, in this case those who are (not) LGBT.

自我之歌:真实领导力和核心自我评价对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者管理人员的重要性
目的基于真实领导(AL)理论和对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者(LGBT)职场经历的研究,本研究提出,与非 LGBT 管理人员相比,AL 可以解释 LGBT 管理人员在态度结果方面超越变革型领导(TL)的差异。本研究还进一步预测,核心自我评价(CSE)将对 AL、LGBT 状况和结果之间的关系起到约束作用。设计/方法/途径 对 193 名 LGBT 和 218 名非 LGBT(即异性恋和顺性别)管理人员进行了时滞调查。第一次调查评估了受访者对其领导行为和 CSE 的评价,而一个月后进行的第二次调查则评估了角色参与度和职业满意度。实践意义强调AL的领导力发展计划可能对LGBT管理者特别有益,尤其是那些CSE水平较低的管理者。利用领导者的认同感可以帮助那些被边缘化的人。原创性/价值 当前的研究提出、解释并证明了 AL 与领导者成果之间的关系在具有和不具有污名化身份的管理者(这里指的是(非)LGBT 管理者)之间可能会有所不同。
