CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP BASED ON PRISMA METHODOLOGY

Abstract

Purpose up until this point, the prevalent concept of authentic leadership (AL) has lacked appropriate testing for employees motivating outcomes, such as job satisfaction and performance. While unwell and unable to work at full capacity, job satisfaction or performance suffers, resulting in lost production and a major economic burden on enterprises and national economies. Using organizational culture as a lens, this study seeks to provide a conceptual framework for the link between AL and job satisfaction and performance, integrating organizational culture's mediating function. Design, Methodology, and Approach – This work employs a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol to conduct a systematic literature review of existing research on AL, Job satisfaction, job performance, and other topics relevant to this research stream. The proposed strategy includes four recommendations to facilitate a more in-depth examination of AL. Conclusions – This article can investigate possible employee motivating consequences, especially when considering organizational job satisfaction and job performance, thanks to a shift in attention to the element of value-based leadership. While most research on job satisfaction has focused on the negative effects, this study looks at how AL may be useful and beneficial in a variety of situations. This study presents a conceptual framework and instructions based on a PRISMA flowchart that researchers may use to lead companies and assess future research projects in AL and job satisfaction and performance. Limitations and implications of the research – One significant implication of this study is its emphasis on the necessity for scholars to employ artificial intelligence (AI) when conducting research evaluations in the field of organizational leadership. In addition to this overarching objective, the present study will aid researchers in systematically and rationally formulating a comprehensive and practical research approach. It is anticipated that the implementation of this conceptual framework will result in enhanced levels of job satisfaction and performance. Originality/ Value – The systematic literature review provides a unique platform for future scholars to undertake and investigate empirical studies in organizational leadership. Future researchers and practitioners will be directed to investigate ways for recognizing and managing job performance and job satisfaction at work in order to accomplish practical application of AL inside organizational settings.
