Assessment: Report
Critically analyse relevant peer-reviewed journal papers as a basis for writing a well-referenced literature response to either of the following two questions:
1. What is the relationship between authentic leadership, Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and employees' Psychological Capital (PsyCap)?
Critically review the literature that explains how to build the Psychological Capital of different types of employees (such as professionals versus administrative employees, emotional labour, blue collar versus white collar employees, different generational cohort, and/or different ethnicities)? Why do emotions (of, for example, leaders, managers, employees) significantly impact employees' performance?
Or
2. Analyse the leadership and/or employee performance (such as their engagement, turnover, commitment, wellbeing) at your workplace and compare it with the positive leadership and Psychological Capital literature.
How similar or different is your workplace from what is potentially possible as per recent research studies?
Please consider different types of employees (such as professionals versus administrative employees, emotional labour, blue collar versus white collar employees, different generational cohorts, and/or different ethnicities). Use the positive leadership and/or Psychological Capital literature to suggest how to move your workplace towards being more effective.
