Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of authentic leadership on employees’ objective (hierarchical status) and subjective (career satisfaction) career success. In addition, this paper attempts to examine the mediating role of career self-efficacy in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach The sample for this cross-sectional study comprised of 162 Pakistani employees drawn from a leading food and beverage company. Structural equation modelling and the bootstrapping procedure were used to test the research hypotheses. Findings Results showed that career self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and hierarchical status, while it partially mediated the effects of authentic leadership on career satisfaction. Practical implications The findings of this study indicate that authentic leadership behaviours can have a positive impact on employees’ career success. Thus, in order to ensure that employees accomplish their career goals and realise their full potential, it is vital that organisations devise strategies, which are geared towards promoting authentic leadership. Originality/value This paper provides a first examination of the relationship between authentic leadership and two indicators of career success: hierarchical status and career satisfaction. In addition, it identifies one possible pathway in the form of career self-efficacy through which authentic leadership relates to employees’ career success.

Purpose The authors wanted to find out if authentic leadership had an effect on career success. Design/methodology/approach The author tested hypotheses on full-time employees and received 162 valid questionnaires. Findings The results showed that authentic leadership was positively correlated with career self-efficacy and that career self-efficacy was positively associated with both career satisfaction and hierarchical status. The results also suggested that the “direct path from authentic leadership to hierarchical status was not significant”. Meanwhile, results showed that career self-efficacy was necessary to fully mediate the relationship between authentic leadership and hierarchical status. The results also showed that career self-efficacy only partially mediated the effects on career satisfaction. Originality/value The author felt his study made a valuable contribution because it offered a new perspective on career satisfaction that expanded the literature. The analysis of career self-efficacy as a mediating mechanism was another significant finding.

Abstract Purpose: The prognosis of patients with lung cancer might be influenced by mental health. Psychological resilience is one of the important indicators to reflect the psychological state. It has been shown that patients with higher social support and self-efficacy have better psychological resilience. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not self-efficacy mediates the relationship between social support and psychological resilience in patients with lung cancer.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 303 lung cancer patients was conducted. Participants completed questionnaires, including the Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Seale Scale, the Chinese version of Strategies Used by People to Promote Health Scale, and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: Mediation analysis indicated that self-efficacy had a partially mediating effect between social support and psychological resilience. Direct paths from social support to self-efficacy, self-efficacy to psychological resilience, and social support to psychological resilience were significant (p< 0.001). Moreover, indirect paths from social support to self-efficacy and self-efficacy to psychological resilience were also significant at the 95% level [0.120–0.550]; the mediating effect accounted for 38.16% of the total effect.Conclusions: Self-efficacy plays an important role in the relationships between social support and psychological resilience in cancer patients. Social support not only directly influenced the psychological resilience, but also indirectly influenced psychological resilience through self-efficacy.

Abstract Background. Mental well-being is an essential concept in research and public health as it is recognised as an indicator of population mental health and quality of life. Previous studies have provided evidence that general self-efficacy is positively related to mental well-being. The aim of this study is to examine whether higher help-seeking self-efficacy and higher psychological well-being self-efficacy respectively, are associated with increased mental well-being.Methods. In this cross-sectional study 1795 adults from the general English population were recruited from a market research panel to fill out an online questionnaire between 24th September 2018 and 05th October 2018. Two simple linear regression analyses were used to investigate the relationship between each of help-seeking self-efficacy and psychological well-being self- efficacy as exposure variables and mental well-being as the outcome. Multiple imputation by chained equations was used to handle missing data.Results. No evidence was found for an association between either help-seeking self-efficacy or psychological well-being self-efficacy and mental well-being.Conclusions. These findings do not provide evidence that improving help-seeking or psychological well-being self-efficacy could lead to improving well-being. Methodological limitations, such as unmeasured confounders might be responsible for the lack of evidence in this study. Having a mental health condition is a potential negative confounder that might not have been measured adequately.
