ABSTRACT
Vigor
is an emerging job attitude that purports to measure employees’ psychological
and physical energy and cognitive involvement in their work. While vigor and
leadership have been theoretically linked, to date no empirical study has
investigated the purported relationship. The present research attempts to fill
this gap. This study examined the constructs of leadership, vigor, job
attitudes, and performance at the group level. Vigor and leadership were both
linked to employee-centered measures while only vigor was linked to organizationally-relevant
measures. Finally, vigor and perceptions of transformational leadership were
positively related with one another.
KEYWORDS
