Abstract
Resource scarcity forces governments to face institutional problems amidst a toxic
leadership environment, making the management of physical assets progressively more challenging. This
study examines the moderating effect of institutional framing on the relationship between authentic leadership
and physical asset management (PAM) practices in Local Governments in Uganda.
Methodology: is a cross-sectional study that uses a questionnaire to collect data from 261 employees of four
selected LGs in Acoliland in mid-north Uganda. The quantitative method was used to collect data, and the
research established the moderating effect of institutional framing on the authentic leadership-PAM practises
relationship using the statistical programme for social scientists (SPSS).
Main Findings: Results indicate a positive and significant result between authentic leadership and
institutional framing, as well as between institutional framing and PAM practices. It also shows that
institutional framing fully mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and PAM practices.
Research limitations/implications: Given the current study is quantitative in nature, it stifles causal
inferences from being drawn with regard to the results which are revealed in connection to the relationship
between the studied variables. Also, the authenticity of the leaders and to promote positive institutional
framing may be considered as a guide in solving PAM practices problem issues
Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is the first of its kind to examine the moderating role of
institutional framing on the relationship between authentic leadership and PAM in a local government setting
in a developing country
