2 This
presentation is about leadership
“meta- resources”
Why is this important for others (e.g. HR- managers)?
Organizations seek a leader who
• Plans and performs well (high task performance)
• Does not feel too stressed (perceives ”optimal” stress)
• Is work-engaged (high work motivation)
Such a leader should theoretically (e.g. Hobfoll)
• Possess strong trait resources; ”right” personality traits, coping resources for stress (handles stressors effectivelly), empathic concern for those they lead, charitable
competence, emotional intelligence, rational competence
• Not possess elevated levels of needs for creating weaknesses in others (e.g. narcissism) or ”destructive”
needs for mirroring in co-workers their own poor self- esteem (e.g. performance-related self-esteem) Important issue for today’s organizations
• To survive in the tough market
• To keep and recruit valuable and attractive personnel 3
Dåderman et al., EAWOP2019, 29/5-1/6 2019, Turin, Italy
As expected, Task
Performance and Work Engagement were positively, and Perceived Stress negatively related to Meta- Resource Factor
Are Externalizing and Rational Mastery Trait Resource Factors, and not Moral Goodness, most important for today’s leadership?
