Malgorzata Kluska-Nowicka

Abstract


The subject of the thesis hereby is the concept of authentic leadership at medium level of management in corporations operating in Poland. The paper consists of two parts. The first academic part presents the concept of authentic management and its dimensions. The second empirical part enunciates the feedback from own research conducted by the author in 2013 in corporations functioning in Poland. The characteristic features of the concept make a research task even more interesting, because it attempts to verify the influence, which the leader exerts on their team both in the area of behavior and attitudes and the system of values of the subordinates. In the exploratory part of this study it was examined whether and, if so, to what extent the concept of authentic leadership is used in Polish corporations at medium level of management. The actual survey was conducted with the use of the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) version 0.1 prepared for examining of leaders.
