Antecedents and consequences of distributed leadership in Indian higher education

What is it about?

This study tests a moderated-mediation model by exploring the antecedents and consequences of DL in HE. Standardized questionnaires were drawn from literature and completed by a sample of 269 respondents from six top-ranked (elite) Indian HE institutions. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and multi-group analysis techniques were used to analyse the data. Results demonstrated that empowering power structure (EPS) is positively related to DL, whilst participation in decision-making (PDM) strengthened this relationship. Further, it is also noted that DL mediates the relationship between EPS and behavioural outcomes of employee voice and silence. This is significant because it is based on an empirical study in a non-western, developing country context.
