Explaining authentic leadership work outcomes from the perspective of self-determination theory

Abstract

The article examines the impact of authentic leadership in leader-follower relationship conceptualized from self-determination theory perspective. Authentic leadership enhances followers’ intrinsic motivation, trust in organisation, commitment and overall job satisfaction. Intrinsic motivation of leaders’ fosters internalization of authentic leadership values among employees. The intrinsically oriented followers are more engaged in effective authentic leader-follower relations, than the followers who possess extrinsic work value orientation. Authentic leadership relevance can be explained by followers’ intrinsic or extrinsic work value orientation.
