Abstract(s)
Identity leadership (IL) describes that the effectiveness of a leader will depend upon his
capacity to represent a given group, to make the group go forward, to create a group
identity, and to make the group matter. An identity leader may increase commitment
among his followers by increasing the perception of shared identity and giving more
weight in the decision process to his followers. We aim to explore the mechanisms
through which a leader who creates a shared group identity can increase organizational
commitment. In the first study, we plan to conduct a cross-cultural correlational study
where we aim to test if the relationship between IL and organizational commitment is
mediated by team identification and mediated-moderated by participation in decision
making (PDM) and collective efficacy. In the second study, we aim to explore the
direction of the causality between IL and PDM. To test this hypothesis, we will conduct
an experimental study in which (1) we will manipulate IL to test its influence on the
perception of PDM and (2) we will manipulate PDM to test its influence on the perception
of IL. Thus, we will be able to identify the role of IL and the perception of PDM on
organizational commitment.
