Abstract
The influence and consequences of shared leadership on performance are still under scrutiny by scholars. Current research suggests mixed findings regarding whether these two constructs are positively linked or not. Thus and due to the ever-growing presence of shared leadership in present-day work-team environments, this paper investigated the relationship between shared leadership and performance as well as the mediating influence of potency on the link between shared leadership and employee performance. Potency was chosen since previous research suggests, that this construct is linked to shared leadership and performance. The study was conducted in the context of 27 leader-follower dyads, which consisted of individuals working in Groningen, the Netherlands. These individuals were asked to fill out a survey that differs from leaders and followers. The surveys were then matched with their respective dyad member to create a multi-source data set. The results indicate that shared leadership has a positive link to potency. Nevertheless, the data did not suggest a significant relationship between shared leadership and performance. The link between potency and performance was also not significant. Moreover, there was also no evidence for potency as a mediator in the link between shared leadership and performance. The importance of further research on shared leadership and its consequences in work environments is also discussed. Furthermore, the link between shared leadership and performance should also be further scrutinized. Keywords: shared leadership, performance, potency, work environments,
