Abstract

The value of efficacy leadership in hotels has been extensively emphasized in the literature. This research assesses the perception level of authentic leadership (AL) and the psychological contract (PsyCon) process among five-star hotel employees in Egypt. It also, explores how AL affects the employees’ PsyCon process. Data were analyzed from 228 employees in five-star hotels. The researchers adopted a random sample method to collect data for the study. The appropriate statistical methods such as Alpha Correlation Coefficient (ACC), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA), were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. Findings indicate that there is a negative and statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of AL (self-awareness, balanced processing, an internal moral perspective, and relational transparency) and PsyCon. Also, there is an inverse relationship between AL and PsyCon. In other words, the greater the interest on the part of the organization in applying the pattern of AL, the lower the level of PsyCon for employees in the organization. This means that the dimensions of AL play a significant part in lowering the dimensions of PsyCon for hotel employees in Egypt.
