As the role of students and lecturers in higher education changes, several questions emerge about the role of each of them on students’ academic performance. This includes questions regarding the impact of the relationships between students, lecturer’s characteristics and the social environment on students’ performance. To address these questions, this article reports a study of the impact of lecturer authentic leadership, psychological safety and network density on academic performance. It explores the relationship between network density, psychological safety and lecturer authentic leadership. A questionnaire was distributed to undergraduate students. A positive impact of lecturer authentic leadership and psychological safety on academic performance was found. Students from high-density groups tended to show better academic performance, higher psychological safety and tended to see their lecturers as being more authentic. A reflection on the role of the lecturer in higher education settings is presented. It also presents some recommendations on how student academic performance can be improved by the adoption of specific behaviours by their lecturer.

“…Four recent studies have explored psychological safety's effects on learning practices in teams. Huang et al (2008) proposed a model in which psychological safety leads to team performance through team learning. These researchers surveyed 100 members of 60 research and development (R&D) teams of the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan, measuring psychological safety, team learning, and team performance.…”

Psychological safety describes people's perceptions of the consequences of taking interpersonal risks in a particular context such as a workplace. First explored by pioneering organizational scholars in the 1960s, psychological safety experienced a renaissance starting in the 1990s and continuing to the present. Organizational research has identified psychological safety as a critical factor in understanding phenomena such as voice, teamwork, team learning, and organizational learning. A growing body of conceptual and empirical work has focused on understanding the nature of psychological safety, identifying factors that contribute to it, and examining its implications for individuals, teams, and organizations. In this article, we review and integrate this literature and suggest directions for future research. We first briefly review the early history of psychological safety research and then examine contemporary research at the individual, group, and organizational levels of analysis. We assess what has been learned and discuss suggestions for future theoretical development and methodological approaches for organizational behavior research on this important interpersonal construct.

“…A good number of studies have emphasized the crucial role of the (team) leader in furthering psychological safety and a climate where it is safe to fail (de Jong & Elfring, 2010; Edmondson, 2002; Huang et al, 2008). Psychological safety, as we understand it, includes both the individual’s capacity to take interpersonal risks and the workplace climate leaders create for such enactment of personal and organizational trust.…”

In the face of complex, ongoing, disruptive change, failing safe is a necessary condition for learning from experience, and critical reflection the method of learning from safe to fail experiments. How can workplaces be safe to fail spaces where critical reflection is embraced, encouraged, and rewarded? The Solution We focus especially on the role of the leader to create a climate of psychological safety where it is safe to practice critical reflection. The workplace needs to become a safe place to fail to facilitate productivity, innovation, and creative responses to the demands that ensue from disruption at work. The Stakeholders This article is relevant to human resource development (HRD) scholars and practitioners who are interested in developing the workplace in times of uncertainly and constant disruption.
