title = {Is self-leadership the new silver bullet of leadership? An empirical test of the relationship between self-leadership and organizational commitment},
year = {2014},
note = {Self-leadership is theoretically assumed to be the key management
approach in modern knowledge work because it strengthens the
employees’ commitment. This study examines the relationship between
self-leadership and affective organizational commitment empirically.
An underlying assumption in the self-leadership research, that
employees are guided and committed by internal work ideals, is tested,
and self-leadership is compared to motivational factors in traditional
management theories. The results show that self-leadership positively
affects organizational commitment, while the internal work ideals
overall do not seem to have the expected effect. However, the effect
of self-leadership on commitment disappears when the relationship is
controlled for traditional motivational factors. The theoretical and
practical implications of these results are discussed, and foci for
future research are suggested.},
