ABSTRACT

This study sets out to identify the effects of authentic and transformational leaderships on social loafing through the mediations of psychological empowerment and psychological contract breach and to verify how these effects differ. A total of 279 employees working under supervision at domestic companies with more than 500 employees were studied using AMOS to verify the research model and hypotheses. Analysis results showed that, first, neither authentic leadership and transformational leadership directly influence social loafing. Second, authentic leadership was found to affect social loafing through the complete mediation of psychological empowerment and psychological contract breach. Third, transformational leadership was found to have a mediated effect on social loafing via psychological empowerment but not via psychological contract breach. These findings confirm how authentic and transformational leaderships influence social loafing with psychological empowerment and psychological contract breach as mediators. The meanings of these findings are discussed including their theoretical and practical implications, and suggestions for future research are proposed.
