Authentic leaders and their employees’ power

Abstract

Authentic leaders have faith in their employees and that is also the reason why the delegate more responsibilities on them. That is the reason why we hypothesized that authentic leaders in fact empower their employees or with other words, they give them power. Through our research we wanted to understand how being under authentic leadership determines individual’s formal and informal power in an organization or a company. We recognized a certain influence of authentic leadership on individual’s informal and formal power.
