The influence of despotic leadership on self-efficacy and job satisfaction
Main Article Content
Abstract
Job satisfaction is one of the most widely studied work attitudes in work and organizational psychology (Judge et al., 2017). The study focuses on understanding the impact of a despotic leadership style on employee job satisfaction, considering the role of self-efficacy as a mediating variable. Research using the PLS-SEM technique to model structural equations by Smart PLS 4.0 software to test the research hypothesis through analysis of primary data collected from a survey of 352 employees in the information & communications technology field in Ho Chi Minh City. Research results show that there exists a relationship between despotic leadership style, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction, the study also identifies self-efficacy as an intermediate variable. In practical terms, the research results contribute to limiting the negative side of despotic leadership style for employees of information & communications technology enterprises.
