Abstract(s)

Introduction Leaders are important in organizational success because they influence workers’ attitudes and behaviors [1,2]. The Leadership Efficacy Model (LEM) is a recent theoretical proposal focusing on factors that increase leadership efficacy[3]. According to the LEM, three leadership factors can explain the efficacy of leadership. Methodology Participants: The study included 842 participants (451 females), employed and aged at least 18 years ( MAge = 42.2, SD = 11.0; Min = 18, Max = 67). Most participants worked in the private sector (91%) and organizations with more than 500 employees (55%). Measures: a) Leadership Cycles Congruence Index (LCCI) through the Leadership Cycles Questionnaire (LCQ; Gomes et al., 2022); b) Conclusions The results confirmed that congruence between the conceptual and practical cycles of leadership was associated with lower leadership cycles, leadership styles, and antecedent factors of leadership (Figure 1). This study explored the relationship between the congruence of leadership cycles and leadership efficacy (measured by turnover intention), analyzing whether leadership styles and antecedent factors of leadership moderate this relationship.
