The Next Evolution of Authentic Leadership

Supervisor

Dr Andrei Lux

Abstract

Authentic leadership understanding has evolved considerably in recent years with a new definition based on signalling theory. Significant avenues for new research arise from this latest development. Reframing authentic leadership as dynamic and context-sensitive signalling behaviour enables new insights into how leaders navigate competing demands and how authentic leadership is signalled, constructed, and experienced. Projects may investigate authentic leadership signalling as discrete behaviour across identities, role demands, digital contexts, and with diverse cohorts, as well as the associated cognitive, emotional, and social costs. Research proposals are invited that engage with and meaningfully extend this view. Qualitative or experimental research designs will be preferred.
