Abstract
The impacts and consequences of shared leadership on job satisfaction are still debated by researchers. Recent research suggests mainly positive possible effects of shared leadership on job satisfaction. However, some findings demonstrate possible negative outcomes. Due to these uncertainties, this paper investigates this relationship further and suggests psychological safety as the moderating variable in this relationship. Psychological safety was chosen as moderator, because prior research managed to establish a positive link between similar aspects like trust, well-being and the work environment and job satisfaction. The final sample used in this study was composed of 27 dyads, consisting of a leaders and followers. The participants filled in questionnaires, in order investigate this relationship. Employees and leaders received different questionnaires. A code was created for each participant, enabling the matching with their respective dyad member. The results showed a positive relationship between shared leadership and job satisfaction. However, it was insignificant. The relationship between psychological safety and job satisfaction also turned out to be insignificant, but of negative nature. Therefore, no supportive evidence for the moderating effect of psychological safety on shared leadership and job satisfaction could be found. The importance of future research is discussed, as the study was not without limitations. Keywords: shared leadership, psychological safety, job satisfaction
