| Abstract: | In this article, role ambiguity is suggested to get people to turn to their group memberships, making leadership effectiveness more contingent on the extent to which leaders are group prototypical. Findings of a survey of 368 employees of four Italian companies supported this hypothesis. Role ambiguity and leader group prototypicality were connected with predicting perceived effectiveness, job satisfaction and turnover intentions, such that leader group prototypicality was more strongly related to leadership effectiveness for employees experiencing greater role obscurity. |
