The Development of Authentic Leadership Theory

Authentic leadership is a contemporary leadership theory, which emerges in response to the global economic and political turmoil at the turn of the century, and is viewed as the basis of all positive forms of leadership. Despite the growing interest in authentic leadership, there is still a lack of consensus on the generally accepted conceptualization of this construct. Hence, the purpose of this paper was to investigate the development of current theoretical frameworks and attributes of relevant conceptual models of authentic leadership. The paper aims to contribute to the existing knowledge in authentic leadership theory, research, and practice, and thereby enable organizations to more fully realize the elevated levels of individual performance and attitudes that an authentic leadership behavior has the potential to provide.
