Moderating Role of Follower Characteristics With Transformational Leadership and Follower Work Engagement
研究了追随者特征是否调节变革型领导与工作投入的关系，发现当追随者特征更积极时，变革型领导对工作投入的正向影响更强。
This study examines whether follower characteristics moderate the relationship between transformational leadership and follower work engagement. Data were collected from 140 followers and their 48 supervisors from a diverse range of industries in South Africa. Hierarchical linear modeling results show that follower characteristics moderate the positive relationship between transformational leadership and follower work engagement. More specifically, transformational leadership has a more positive effect on follower work engagement when follower characteristics are more positive. Implications of the findings for theory, research, and practice are discussed.
