Abstract

El liderazgo de base segura, fundamentado en la teoría del apego, emerge como un nuevo enfoque para comprender y mejorar las interacciones líder-subordinado, estableciendo vínculos significativos con otros constructos psicosociales en el ámbito de las organizaciones. Específicamente, este estudio explora empíricamente la relación positiva entre el estilo de liderazgo de base segura y el work engagement de los seguidores, así como la relación negativa entre este estilo de liderazgo y la intención de abandono organizacional, tanto de forma directa como mediada por la identificación con el equipo de trabajo. Un total de 483 empleados (59,4% mujeres; M = 36,9 años, DT = 11,5) cumplimentaron un cuestionario online. Se realizó un modelado de ecuaciones estructurales empleando la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales análisis. Los resultados indicaron que la identificación con el equipo media parcialmente las relaciones entre el liderazgo de base segura y el engagement y la intención de abandono. El liderazgo como base segura constituye un tipo de recurso laboral que puede potenciar los resultados positivos en el trabajo, como el engagement, a la vez que prevenir los resultados negativos, como el abandono. Por tanto, el liderazgo de base segura juega un papel crucial en el bienestar de los empleados.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
