- Authentic leadership promoting employees' psychological capital and creativityPublication . Rego, Arménio; Sousa, Filipa; Marques, Carla; Pina e Cunha, MiguelTwo hundred and one employees report their psychological capital, as well as their supervisors' authentic leadership. Supervisors describe the employees' creativity. The main findings show that authentic leadership predicts employees' creativity, both directly and through the mediating role of employees' psychological capital. The study empirically validates theoretical arguments that suggest integrating authentic leadership and psychological capital in research, and indicates that both may foster employees' creativity, a crucial resource for helping organizations to face competitive challenges, take advantage of business opportunities, and improve organizational effectiveness.
- Optimism predicting employees' creativity: The mediating role of positive affect and the positivity ratioPublication . Rego, Arménio; Sousa, Filipa; Marques, Carla; Pina e Cunha, MiguelWe examine how optimism predicts creativity both directly and through the mediating role of positive affect and the positivity ratio (the ratio between the frequency of positive and negative affective states). Five hundred and ninety five employees reported their positive and negative affect, as well as their optimism. Their creativity was reported by supervisors. The main findings are the following: (1) optimism predicts creativity both directly and through the mediating role of positive affect and the positivity ratio; (2) the relationship between the positivity ratio and creativity is curvilinear, in such a way that an "excessive" ratio is detrimental to creativity. The findings stress the relevance of optimism both for individuals and organizations, and suggest that examining positivity ratios is fruitful in the creativity domain, as it has been in other domains, and that negative affect should not be viewed simply as an obstacle when studying employees' creativity.
- Responsible leadership and turnover intentions in health-care professionals: the mediating role of burnoutPublication . Marques, Tânia; Crespo, Cátia Fernandes; Pina e Cunha, Miguel; Caçador, Mariana; Dias, Sara SimõesDrawing on social identity theory, this study aims to test how responsible leadership predicts turnover intentions by considering the mediating role of burnout. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 213 Portuguese health-care workers was collected and analysed through partial least squares-structural equation modelling. Findings The findings indicate a negative relationship between responsible leadership and turnover intentions. Burnout is positively associated with turnover intentions, and, in turn, responsible leadership is negatively associated with burnout. Burnout also partially mediates the association of responsible leadership with turnover intention. Originality/value The findings provide a fresh perspective on leadership dynamics in the health-care context by expressing the role of responsible leadership in reducing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization of work, thus mitigating intentions to leave.
- A virtude nas organizações: Fonte de Progresso e SustentabilidadePublication . Ribeiro, Neuza; Rego, Arménio; Pina e Cunha, MiguelNo mundo viril das empresas, apregoar virtudes e virtuosidade pode parecer um despropósito. Se essa for a opinião do leitor, este livro não é para si. Se, pelo contrário, está preocupado com os escândalos envolvendo empresas outrora respeitadas, a queda de gestores antes admirados e a destruição de vidas inocentes apanhadas em processos fraudulentos, então estas páginas poderão interessar-lhe. Aqui discutimos as razões pelas quais algumas organizações fazem de um conjunto de virtudes uma fonte de músculo competitivo. Advogamos que velhas virtudes «fora de moda» devem ser recuperadas. Argumentamos que praticar a virtuosidade é uma forma de ir melhorando o mundo – um pouco de cada vez! Naturalmente, ser virtuoso é um exercício que se aprende praticando, e não apenas falando ou lendo. Mas esperamos que a leitura de um livro sobre as virtudes – como este – possa ajudar a passar da teoria à prática virtuosa!
