Liderazgo tóxico y motivación laboral de subordinados: Un estudio angoleño
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
El liderazgo tóxico tiene efectos perjudiciales sobre los subordinados y se ha asociado con varios resultados negativos en las organizaciones. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar los efectos de las dimensiones del liderazgo toxico (supervisión abusiva, autoritarismo, narcisismo, autopromoción e imprevisibilidad) en la motivación laboral de los seguidores, utilizando la Teoría de la Autodeterminación. Angola enfrenta importantes desafíos de desarrollo social que dependen de la calidad del liderazgo. Participaron 219 personas (30 y 65 años), de organizaciones angoleñas de varios sectores de actividad. Se utilizaron la Escala de Liderazgo Tóxico y la Escala Multidimensional de Motivación Laboral. Se realizaron análisis de correlación y regresión. La dimensión narcisismo y la regulación identificada de la motivación laboral obtuvieron las puntuaciones más altas. El narcisismo de los líderes se correlacionó positivamente con el material externo y la motivación introyectada; autopromoción con motivación inyectada e intrínseca. Todas las dimensiones del liderazgo tóxico se correlacionaron positivamente con la desmotivación. La supervisión abusiva predice negativamente la motivación introyectada, y el narcisismo predice positivamente la regulación externa material de la motivación laboral. Estas relaciones se interpretaron como el efecto de las dimensiones tóxicas del liderazgo sobre las dimensiones de la motivación laboral. Los programas de desarrollo de liderazgo deben enfocarse en prevenir el liderazgo tóxico para lograr un impacto positivo en la regulación autónoma de los seguidores.
