Objetivo: Investigar el papel del liderazgo auténtico y su relación con el compromiso, la satisfacción y el comportamiento de ciudadanía organizacional de los empleados, con énfasis en el efecto mediador de la confianza en empresas transnacionales brasileñas.
Enfoque: La investigación analizó datos recopilados de una muestra de empresas transnacionales brasileñas para explorar las dinámicas entre liderazgo auténtico, confianza y resultados de los empleados. El análisis utilizó Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales para evaluar coeficientes, la validez interna y el papel mediador de la confianza.
Resultados: Los resultados confirman el papel crítico de la confianza en el aumento del compromise y la satisfacción de los empleados. Las relaciones basadas en la confianza demostraron ser esenciales para lograr un alto desempeño organizacional.
Limitaciones de la Investigación: El estudio se limita a empresas transnacionales brasileñas, lo que podría restringir la generalización de los hallazgos a otros contextos o industrias. Investigaciones futuras podrían examinar dinámicas similares en diferentes contextos culturales.
Implicaciones Prácticas: Los hallazgos destacan la importancia de cultivar el liderazgo auténtico y promover un entorno de confianza para mejorar los resultados organizacionales. Las organizaciones deben priorizar programas de desarrollo de liderazgo e iniciativas para fomentar la confianza.
Implicaciones Sociales: El estudio evidencia el potencial de las prácticas de liderazgo ético para combatir los efectos de la corrupción y el comportamiento antiético en regiones como Brasil, promoviendo culturas organizacionales más transparentes y éticas.
Implicaciones Teóricas: Esta investigación enriquece la literatura al clarificar el vínculo entre liderazgo auténtico, confianza y resultados de los empleados, especialmente en contextos afectados por corrupción sistémica.
Originalidad / Valor: El estudio proporciona evidencia novedosa sobre el impacto del liderazgo auténtico y la confianza, abordando vacíos en la literatura y ofreciendo perspectivas relevantes para regiones con desafíos similares.
