Abstract
PurposeThis study examined the dynamical and positive effects of leader consultation on employee proactivity from a motivational perspective.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected twice a day from 107 employees in a week by using an experience sampling method.FindingsOn a daily basis, leader consultation had a positive effect on employees’ state work engagement, which in turn promoted employees’ proactivity. Moreover, authoritarian leadership weakened the positive relationship between leader consultation and employees’ state work engagement.Originality/valueThe findings provided a new perspective regarding the potential dynamic motivational effect of leader consultation on employees and generated interesting implications for paradoxical leadership theory.
