A B S T R A C TThis paper examines the effect of authentic leadership on leader trust, organizational identification, job performance, and employee loyalty within the context of a food-and beverage department in a hotel. The data were collected from 204 hotel employees and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings are as follows: authentic leadership had significant effects on leader trust and job performance, but does not affect organizational identification. Leader trust was found to have significant influences on organizational identification and employee loyalty, and fully mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and organizational identification. Organizational identification significantly affected both job performance and employee loyalty and plays a full mediating role between leader trust and job performance, and also plays a partial mediating role between leader trust and employee loyalty. Finally, job performance had a significant effect on employee loyalty.
