Abstract: Authenticity is a relational construct, but research to date has largely overlooked the relationship between authentic leadership and follower authenticity. In our first study, comprising 162 leader-follower dyads, we examined the conditions that enhance followers' authenticity in regard to the leader. We found that deviations from prototypical leader emotions (e.g., shame) reinforce the relationship between authentic leadership and employees' unbiased self-presentation. Contrary to predictions, no such effect… Show more

“…ethical culture, followers’ ethical voice and moderated-mediation mechanism).
