Na een algemene beschrijving van deugden en hoe men in de westerse en oosterse filosofische tradities over deugden denkt, beschrijven de auteurs drie mogelijke benaderingen om een deugdzaam leider te worden. |

![]() | Hendriks, Martijn; Burger, Martijn; Rijsenbilt, Antoinette; Emma Pleeging, Harry Commandeur Virtuous leadership: a source of employee well-being and trust Journal Article In: Management Research Review, 2020, ISSN: 2040-8269 . @article{Hendriks2020, PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to examine how a supervisor’s virtuous leadership as perceived by subordinates influences subordinates’ work-related well-being and to examine the mediating role of trust in the leader and the moderating roles of individual leader virtues and various characteristics of subordinates and organizations. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH An online survey was conducted through Prolific among a self-selected sample of 1,237 employees who worked with an immediate supervisor across various industries in primarily the UK and the USA. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. FINDINGS The empirical results indicate that an immediate supervisor’s virtuous leadership as evaluated by the subordinate positively influences all three considered dimensions of work-related well-being – job satisfaction, work-related affect and work engagement – for a wide variety of employees in different industries and countries. A subordinate’s greater trust in the supervisor fully mediates this positive influence for job satisfaction and work engagement and partially for work-related affect. All five individual core leader virtues – prudence, temperance, justice, courage and humanity – positively influence work-related well-being. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The findings underscore that promoting virtuous leadership is a promising pathway for improved employee well-being, which may ultimately benefit individual and organizational performance. ORIGINALITY/VALUE Despite an age-old interest in leader virtues, the lack of consensus on the defining elements of virtuous leadership has limited the understanding of its consequences. Building on recent advances in the conceptualization and measurement of virtuous leadership and leader character, this paper addresses this void by exploring how virtuous leadership relates to employees’ well-being and trust. |
![]() | Rijsenbilt, Antoinette; Commandeur, Harry Narcissus Enters the Courtroom: CEO Narcissism and Fraud Journal Article In: Journal of Business Ethics, vol. 117, no. 2, pp. 413–429, 2012. @article{Rijsenbilt2012, This study explores the aspects of the relationship between possible indicators of CEO narcissism and fraud. Highly narcissistic CEOs undertake challenging or bold actions to obtain frequent praise and admiration. The pursuit of narcissistic supply may result in a stronger likelihood of a CEO to undertake bold actions with potential detrimental consequences for the organization. The sample consists of all S&P 500 CEOs from 1992 till 2008 with more than 3 years of tenure. The measurement of CEO narcissism is based on 15 objective indicators and fits the main conceptualization of narcissism. This data collection provides a score for all S&P 500 CEOs according to their narcissistic tendencies. The Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases on the SEC’s website are the indicators of managerial fraud. The findings confirm the expected influence of plausible proxies for CEO narcissism on fraud by showing a positive relationship. This confirms the psychologic perspective of CEO narcissism as a potential cause of fraud. |
