Abstract
Shared leadership, a modern leadership approach, emphasizes the distribution of leadership responsibilities among team members. It has gained attention as a response to the increasing demands of work complexity, speed, and change. On the other hand, psychological safety refers to the perception of a safe and supportive work environment that fosters open communication, risk-taking, and learning. Previous research has explored the impact of shared leadership on employee performance, yielding conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between shared leadership and employee performance, considering psychological safety as a mediator. To accomplish this, we conducted a cross-sectional field study involving 27 dyads from various sources. However, our findings did not yield significant results when examining the association between shared leadership and employee performance. Likewise, no significant results were found regarding the relationship between psychological safety, shared leadership, and employee performance. In conclusion, we were unable to support the notion that psychological safety partially mediates the relationship between shared leadership and employee performance. Keywords: shared leadership, employee performance, psychological safety
