20.500.12556/RUL-112557 Mindfulness - the missing link in the relationship between leader-follower strategic optimism (mis)match and work engagement Assuming a followership perspective and building on implicit leadership theory, this study examines the mediating role of followers’ mindfulness in the relationship between leader–follower strategic optimism (mis)match and work engagement. Specifically, we propose that a discrepancy between the respective levels of leaders’ and followers’ strategic optimism correlates with low levels of mindfulness and work engagement. A field study of 291 working professionals, using polynomial regression and response surface analysis, supports the (mis)match hypotheses. The results demonstrate that followers’ mindfulness mediates the relationship between leaders’ and followers’ matching levels of strategic optimism (whether at high-high and low-low leader-follower strategic optimism conditions) and work engagement. These findings have important implications for training and the extent to which interventions based on personal resources, such as strategic optimism and therefore mindfulness, foster higher work engagement. organization leadership stimulation strategic optimism leader–follower (mis)match implicit leadership theory followership mindfulness work engagement organizacija vodenje stimulacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2019-10-24 12:03:45 2020-01-10 09:50:50 2022-08-24 03:51:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2018 0 0 11 str. art. 2444 Vol. 9 Dec. 2018 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.108 1664-1078 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02444 24850406 519967513 fpsyg-09-02444.pdf fpsyg-09-02444.pdf 1 7F6F3A3AECFF46CD239E3D0AC4EB9CEC 2312f9603bb801b2cc5c438186d7bd8a0a11f2cea9fb680317c77150087d4aa7 e7a3f1a3-a1b7-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=124457 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02444/full 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=124456 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
