The extant studies on leadership are replete with employee, coworker, and leader outcomes, however, research is still nascent on leadership’s crossover into employees’ family members’ lives. To examine leadership’s impact on the work–family interface, we draw on conservation of resources theory (COR) and crossover theory and investigate how authori...
Understanding the antecedents of willingness to mentor is critical to facilitating positive mentoring relationships. Using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model as the theoretical foundation, we investigated the influence of perceived supervisor support (job resource) and workload (job demand) on employees' willingness to mentor through work engag...
Paternalistic leadership (PL) remains the leading indigenous leadership research area with increasing interest in the past three decades, and an exponential growth of research productivity in the last ten years. Paternalism in the context of leadership reflects a hierarchical relationship and is based on the assumption of power inequality. The curr...
The purpose of this study was to investigate industry’s challenges in hiring international talent and offer recommendations for retaining international students in the local economy post-graduation. We trust that our recommendations will be significant to the St. Louis Mosaic Project Steering Committee toward the regional goal for “St. Louis region...
Over the past decade, a substantial body of research on leader–member exchange (LMX) has emerged from the international context. International LMX is a developing research area with some intriguing findings; however, this emerging literature is still in its infancy and much work remains to be done for a strong theoretical foundation with sound prac...
Workplace mentoring in the international context is an emerging research area with significant potential for global integration. However, although measurement equivalence is a prerequisite for examining cross-cultural differences, this assumption has yet to be examined in mentoring research. This study contributes to the mentoring literature by ass...
Paternalism is an emerging concept with significant potential for international leadership research. Paternalistic leaders combine benevolence with authority. Paternalism is a prevalent leadership style in non-Western business organizations. In this article, the authors extend research on paternalism to the Western business context. They compare th...
Trust in work relationships is an intriguing topic in leader—member exchange (LMX) research, however, previous LMX studies examined trust as unidimensional. Research on LMX has yet to explore the multidimensional nature of trust and how different dimensions may affect LMX quality. This study with 228 full-time employees explores the effect of diffe...
The growing interest in paternalistic leadership research has led to a recent proliferation of diverse definitions and perspectives, as well as a limited number of empirical studies. Consequently, the diversity of perspectives has resulted in conceptual ambiguities, as well as contradictory empirical findings. In this article, the authors review re...

The article looks at different perspectives on paternalistic leadership and assesses the current state of research and literature on the subject. Paternalistic leadership is typically defined as a leadership style that is based on fatherly benevolence combined with strong discipline and authority. It has been described as benevolent dictatorship an...
Although businesses increasingly operate across cultures, there is a paucity of research that examines the influence of national culture on leadership practices. This study uses a structural equation modeling approach to investigate relationships among leader–member exchange (LMX), delegation, paternalism, and job satisfaction in Turkish business o...
Ensuring construct comparability is a prerequisite for testing cross-group differences, yet this assumption is rarely tested in mentoring research. More studies testing for factorial invariance are needed for the construct validation of mentoring. Multiple group confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were used to investigate the factorial stability of...
