Abstract
Management scholars are increasingly concerned with temporal leadership, especially the impact of temporal leadership on performance. However, much less research concerns the mediated mechanism between temporal leadership and job performance. Thus, the purpose of this research was to explore whether supervisors’ temporal leadership influences their subordinates’ performance improvement through work engagement based on conservation of resources theory. A total of 83 Taiwan military personnel completed a diary questionnaire for 10 consecutive days (total N = 661). The results of multilevel modeling revealed that supervisors’ daily temporal leadership was positively related to subordinates’ daily work engagement, which in turn was positively related to their daily performance improvement. In addition, we found that subordinates’ competence will moderate the relationship between supervisors’ daily temporal leadership and subordinates’ daily work engagement such that the relationship will be more positive when subordinates’ competence is high rather than low; hence, it is positively related to performance improvement. Finally, the findings’ theoretical and practical implications for temporal leadership were discussed.
