| description | This study investigated the pattern of authentic leadership. The purpose of this study is to test if selfawareness,
balanced processing of information, internalized moral perspective, and relational
transparency are predictors of authentic leadership among administrative heads at International
Islamic University IIUM. An authentic leader reflects the extent to which there is congruence between
leader’s actions, intention, moral compasses, self-reflexivity, self-concept, self-development, altruistic
actions, authenticity, psychological well-being, and internal regulation. This research is a case study,
focusing on data collected from administrative staff at IIUM. The results of the regression indicated
that the four predictors (self-awareness, balanced processing of information, internalized moral
perspective, and relational transparency) explained authentic leadership. The tested model provides
empirical evidence about the pattern of authentic leadership in higher education, thus confirming the
presence of authentic leadership in organizations. |
