Abstract

This study aims to examine how individual-focused transformational leaders play an essential role in employee job performance by assessing the mediating role of job-based psychological ownership and work engagement. Data was collected from a sample 597 employees working in a public sector organization in Korea. The research hypotheses were verified using a structural equation model.BRThe results indicate that individual-focused transformational leadership has a positive impact on job performance. Work engagement partially mediated the relationship between those variables, but job-based psychological ownership did not. And job-based psychological ownership and work engagement have sequential mediating effects that relationship. By identifying individual-focused transformational leadership as a determinant of job-based psychological ownership and work engagement, this paper provides a comprehensive framework to understand the process through which leadership influences individual behavior and motivation toward job performance of front-line employees.
