RAI, Rishabh  e  PRAKASH, Anand. How do servant leaders ignite absorptive capacity?: the role of epistemic motivation and organizational support. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.123-134. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2016.02.001.

This study examines the role of servant leadership in absorptive capacity. Data from manufacturing and service sector organizations found that: a) there was moderation of servant leadership influence on knowledge identification through POS by high need for cognition, b) there was moderation of servant leadership influence on knowledge application through POS by low time pressure, and c) POS mediated relationship between servant leadership and knowledge dissemination. The findings illustrate and support the importance of a comprehensive model integrating servant leadership, POS, and epistemic motivation in determining absorptive capacity.

Palavras-chave : Servant leadership; Perceived organizational support (POS); Need for cognition; Time pressure; Absorptive capacity.
