dc.description.abstractThe present study provided insight into authentic leadership, psychological capital and exemplary followership behaviour as antecedents of work engagement of employees. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was utilised, using a composite electronic questionnaire.

The portability of the measurement instruments to a South African context were validated through confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis.

The higher-order factor structure of psychological capital was also confirmeden_US
