VILLARREAL-COINDREAU, Marcelo José  and  LLANOS-REYNOSO, Luis Felipe Miguel. TRUST, SELF-EFFICACY, AND LEADERSHIP PERCEPTION. Dimens.empres. [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.3, pp.19-36. ISSN 1692-8563.  https://doi.org/10.15665/dem.v17i3.1641.

This research study examines the extent to which hierarchical superiors are admired as leaders. To this purpose, a 25-item inventory was designed and filled in paper by 157 participants from 26 companies. Once the statistical behavior of the items was tested, it was found, through lineal regression and correlation analyses, that superiors are better accepted and admired as leaders, when they display trust in the capabilities of their subordinates, contribute to improve their self-efficacy, and support them in their duties. On the other hand, it was also found that considering the subordinates’ skills and interests, when assigning tasks and challenges, was highly correlated with self-efficacy improvement These findings are consistent with previous research. However, it will be important to validate them in future studies.

Keywords : expectancy-value; path-goal; performance; qualifications; interests.
