The effect of Self-leadership on empowerment, self-efficacy and innovation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between self-leadership(rehearsal, self-goal setting, self-respect) and empowerment, self-efficacy and innovation. In order to verify the relationships, data obtained from 305 employees working in Seoul were analyzed by using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 8.0. This study reports findings as follows: First, the relationship between the self-leadership(rehearsal, self-respect) and the empowerment is positively related. Second, there was also a positive correlation between the self -leadership(rehearsal, self-goal setting, self-respect) and the self-efficacy. Third, the empowerment is positively related with innovation, however self-efficacy has no correlation with innovation. Implications of these results for research and practice were discussed.
