| dc.description.abstract | In order to better understand the promotion of adaptive behavior during Covid-19,
the following research investigates the relationship between transformational
leadership and subscales of adaptive performance, as well as the moderating effect
of psychological safety. A quantitative study of 146 respondents divided into four
companies within a business group was conducted to test our hypothesis. Results
postulated that transformational leadership indeed significantly related to each
subscale examined of adaptive performance. Further, the analysis yields no
support for the moderating effect of psychological safety. Yet, other interesting
findings were presented from our analysis, indicating that transformational
leadership can develop a psychologically safe environment. Accordingly, our
analysis reveals that employees perceiving their leaders as more transformational
are more adaptable to change in demonstrating interpersonal adaptability,
handling uncertainty and unpredictability, and handling work stress. | en_US |
