Dissertation
From scout leader to business leader: How participation in multiple roles shapes behavior at work
2008
Overview
In answer to recent calls for more research on positive outcomes of holding multiple roles, this dissertation examines the relationship between coping, leadership, and role facilitation, or the extent to which resources, benefits, and skills learned in one role are transferred to another. With higher numbers of women in the workforce and men spending more time fulfilling responsibilities at home, a better understanding of the antecedents and consequences of occupying multiple roles has become increasingly important. Analyses of survey data, collected from fully-employed part-time graduate students, reveals that use of coping mechanisms that allow for more diffusion of skills and learning across roles is positively related to several types of role facilitation. Findings also indicate that family-to-work role facilitation, or the extent to which experiences, skills, and opportunities from the family role help facilitate participation in the work role, is positively associated with supervisors' assessment of individuals' leadership behaviors, providing support for the argument that role facilitation is positively related to leadership behavior. Surprisingly, school-to-work role facilitation is negatively related to several leadership behaviors. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of the antecedents and consequences of employees' participation in multiple roles by examining role facilitation and its relationship with coping behaviors and leadership practices.
