Abstract
The research that has confirmed the beneficial
relationship between authentic leadership and institutional
framing has included global metrics for both concepts. In order to
study how authentic leadership affects institutional framing, this
work particularly examined how the four dimensions of authentic
leadership relate to the regulative, normative, and
cognitive/dimensions of institutional framing. In this study, a
quantitative technique restricted to a cross-sectional study and a
questionnaire instrument to local government employees
(n=261) were employed to collect data in accordance with a
positivist research paradigm. Statistical analysis with the
statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) was utilised to
analyse the quantitative data gathered. The outcome of stepwise
multiple regression analysis demonstrates that there are
substantial correlations between all aspects of authentic
leadership and institutional framing. The relational transparency
component had the greatest score (M=4.0; SD=3.8), while
balanced processing and internalised moral perspective received
the lowest scores (M=3.9; SD=3.8). Furthermore, when these perceptions are impersonal and aimed at the local
government rather than when they are directed toward individual people, authentic leadership is a better
predictor of institutional framing. These findings have practical ramifications for management in local
governments, particularly for handling their employees.
