What goes around comes around: The mediation of corporate social responsibility in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement
研究以欧洲银行5313名员工为样本，发现员工感知的企业社会责任感在变革型领导与员工敬业度之间起中介作用，拓展了领导力有效性的研究。
Organization studies have investigated transformational leadership and employee engagement as key variables in the field. Recent calls in the literature propose further investigation of the link between leadership and engagement, through different levels within the organization. Hence, the current study examines the leadership–engagement relationship in more depth and introduces perceived corporate social responsibility as an organizational level mediator. Hypotheses were tested amongst employees in a European bank ( N = 5313) and were supported. This study contributes both to theory and practice by: (a) expanding the scope of transformational leadership effectiveness, specifically as a facilitator for employee engagement, and (b) demonstrating the contribution of perceived corporate social responsibility as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement.
