Abstract

Few studies examine whether Western leadership theories apply to Asian companies. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of authentic leadership on perceptions of Korean restaurant workers. Results suggest authentic leadership components correlate with followers’ extra effort and perceptions of leader effectiveness. These variables, in turn, correlate with intrinsic job motivation and job satisfaction. Findings of this study are discussed in light of future research directions.
