Se sentir bien pour diriger efficacement : l'importance du plaisir au travail chez les responsables d'équipe

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role team leaders' work enjoyment regarding team members' attitudes by taking account of the mediating role of empowering leadership and the moderating effect of task interdependence. The sample includes 58 team leaders and 229 team members from a Canadian public safety organization. Using a multilevel approach, results indicate that empowering leadership may mediate the relationships that team leaders' work enjoyment may have with team members' attitudes (i.e., team commitment and turnover intention). Furthermore, results reveal that the relationship between work enjoyment and empowering leadership is moderated by task interdependence, such that this relationship is stronger when the level of task interdependence is low.
