ABSTRAKPenelitian mengenai efektivitas pemimpin mulai mengarah kepada persepsi
bawahan terhadap efektivitas pemimpinnya dan bukan karena performanya
(Hannah, Sumanth, Lester, & Cavarretta, 2014). Behavioral integrity, yang
merupakan pola konsisten antara ucapan dengan tindakan pemimpin yang dinilai
oleh bawahan, merupakan salah satu faktor utama yang memengaruhi efektivitas
pemimpin. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif antara
behavioral integrity dan efektivitas pemimpin, dengan demikian penelitian ini
melanjutkan penelitian-penelitian tersebut dengan beragumen bahwa hubungan
antara behavioral integrity dan efektivitas pemimpin dapat terjadi apabila
dimediasi penuh oleh cognitive trust dan affective trust. Penelitian ini dilakukan
terhadap 215 orang pegawai di bidang jasa dengan metode survei menggunakan
kuesioner. Hasil analisis parallel multiple regression menggunakan PROCESS
menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara behavioral integrity dengan efektivitas
pemimpin hanya dapat terjadi apabila dimediasi penuh oleh cognitive trust dan
affective. Ini berarti behavioral integrity baru dapat memengaruhi efektivitas
pemimpin apabila bawahan memiliki cognitive trust dan affective trust kepada
pemimpinnya.
ABSTRACTLeadership theories have shifted over the last few decades from a focus on
objective measure of performance toward subordinate?s evaluation of leaders?
behaviors relevant to team performance. Behavioral integrity, which refer to
subordinate?s perception of pattern of word-deed alignment, is one of the most
important factors that influence subordinate?s evaluation of their leaders?
effectiveness. We extend previous research by arguing that the importance of
behavioral integrity on leader effectiveness is mediated by two forms of trust:
cognitive trust, which refer to trust that based on performance-relevant cognitions
such as competence, reliability, and dependability; and affective trust, which refer
to the emotional bonds between individuals that are grounded upon expressions of
genuine care and concern for the welfare of the other party. To test the
hypotheses, we collected data from 215 employees in the service industry. Using
parallel multiple regression by PROCESS, we find that the relationship between
behavioral integrity and leader effectiveness is fully mediated by cognitive trust
and affective trust, suggesting that behavioral integrity will only take place when
subordinate have cognitive and affective trust on their leaders. This research is
particularly important because it delineate the mechanism under which
behavioral integrity impact leader effectiveness
