Abstract

By adopting a path-goal theory approach, this study tests in a sample of Italian employees (N=181) whether a framework considering at the same time leadership style, follower characteristics, and task characteristics explains work engagement levels in followers. The study provides new empirical evidence supporting path-goal theory and offers insights into the role of situational factors in the leader-follower relationship.
