Resumen
- español
  El liderazgo tóxico tiene efectos perjudiciales sobre los subordinados y se ha asociado con varios resultados negativos en las organizaciones. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar los efectos de las dimensiones del liderazgo toxico (supervisión abusiva, autoritarismo, narcisismo, autopromoción e imprevisibilidad) en la motivación laboral de los seguidores, utilizando la Teoría de la Autodeterminación. Angola enfrenta importantes desafíos de desarrollo social que dependen de la calidad del liderazgo. Participaron 219 personas (30 y 65 años), de organizaciones angoleñas de varios sectores de actividad. Se utilizaron la Escala de Liderazgo Tóxico y la Escala Multidimensional de Motivación Laboral. Se realizaron análisis de correlación y regresión. La dimensión narcisismo y la regulación identificada de la motivación laboral obtuvieron las puntuaciones más altas. El narcisismo de los líderes se correlacionó positivamente con el material externo y la motivación introyectada; autopromoción con motivación inyectada e intrínseca. Todas las dimensiones del liderazgo tóxico se correlacionaron positivamente con la desmotivación. La supervisión abusiva predice negativamente la motivación introyectada, y el narcisismo predice positivamente la regulación externa material de la motivación laboral. Estas relaciones se interpretaron como el efecto de las dimensiones tóxicas del liderazgo sobre las dimensiones de la motivación laboral. Los programas de desarrollo de liderazgo deben enfocarse en prevenir el liderazgo tóxico para lograr un impacto positivo en la regulación autónoma de los seguidores.

  Toxic leadership has detrimental effects on subordinates and has been associated with several negative outcomes in organizations. This research aims to study the effects of toxic leadership dimensions (abusive supervision, authoritarianism, narcissism, self-promotion and unpredictability) on followers’ work motivation by using Self-Determination Theory to approach work motivation. Angola faces significant social development challenges that are dependent upon the quality of leadership. Two hundred and nineteen people, aged 30 and 65 years, participated in this research from Angolan organizations in different industry sectors. The Toxic Leadership Scale and Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale were used. Correlation and regression analyses were performed. The narcissism dimension of toxic leadership and the identified regulation of work motivation had the highest scores. Leaders’ narcissism was positively correlated with external material and introjected motivation; self-promotion with introjected and intrinsic motivation. All dimensions of toxic leadership were positively correlated with amotivation. Finally, abusive supervision negatively predicts introjected regulation, and narcissism predicts positively material regulation of work motivation. These relationships were interpreted as the effect of toxic leadership dimensions on work motivation dimensions. Leadership development programs should focus on preventing toxic leadership in order to positively impact the followers’ autonomous regulation.
