Abstract(s)
By the increasing recognition that the scientific and practical communities attribute humility
and compassion as influencing organisational performance, this study aims to understand whether
the exercise of authentic leadership influences these constructs. For this purpose, using a
quantitative study, a questionnaire was applied to employees of small and medium-sized
Portuguese companies who are directly subordinated to the top management of these companies in
the course of their professional activity.
This research empirically validates the theoretical arguments that suggest that authentic
leadership is related to humility and compassion (the latter, measured based on the dimensions of
kindness, common humanity, full attention, indifference, detachment and separation) and
demonstrates that subordinates are essential resources to help organisations face competitive
challenges, taking advantage of their employees' potential and promoting organisational efficiency
and competitive advantages over the competition.
