Abstract
The influence and consequences of shared leadership on employee performance are still under scrutiny by scholars. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between shared leadership and employee performance, hypothesising a partial mediation of self-efficacy in this association. We conducted a multi-sourced cross-sectional field study by means of convenience sampling and analysed 27 Dutch-speaking leader-employee dyads utilising two tailored survey questionnaires. Data sets were matched accordingly by means of a coding system to obtain a multi-source data set. The results indicate that shared leadership has a significant positive link to self-efficacy. However, no significant findings were obtained regarding the shared leadership and employee performance association and no evidence was found for the association between self-efficacy and employee performance. Overall, no support was found for self-efficacy as a partial mediator in the relationship between shared leadership and employee performance. By studying leader-employee dyads within Dutch organisations and studying self-efficacy in a real-life organisational context our results yield a valuable contribution to the field and provide several opportunities for future research. Keywords: shared leadership, employee performance, self-efficacy, team dynamics
