Comment l’ancienneté et le degré de résolution de problèmes associé à la tâche modulent-ils l’impact du leadership d’habilitation sur la performance à la tâche ?
This research focuses on the impact of empowerment leadership on task performance, taking into account two moderating variables: the tenure and the degree of problem solving associated with the task. Based on the substitutes for leadership theory, as well as on the job demands-resources theory, it was expected that the contribution of empowerment leadership to performance would be greater when employee tenure was low and problem solving associated with the task of the employee was high. Moderation hypotheses were tested using the answers to questionnaires of 324 employees and their immediate supervisor from 17 organizations working in various sectors. The results of regression analyze indicate a positive and significant link between empowerment leadership and task performance. On the other hand, the anticipated moderation hypotheses are not supported. These results are discussed and implications for theory and practice are stated.
