Abstract:
This talk explores how empowering leadership, typically recognized for enhancing employee in-role and extra-role behavior, may also promote task revision – where employees independently take actions to correct inefficient procedures or expectations. In the context of a rapidly changing organizational landscape, task revision behavior becomes crucial for achieving organizational goals, though its connection to empowering leadership remains unclear. Results from four studies (total N = 1336) demonstrate that empowering leadership fosters task revision by increasing employees' risk propensity.
