Leadership and Work Engagement Survey Data from Two Studies

A dataset from two studies examining how engaging leadership influences employee perceptions of organizational values, psychological need satisfaction, and work engagement. Study 1 used a cross-sectional design with 436 participants, and Study 2 used a longitudinal design across three time-points with 69 participants. The data was authored by L. van Tuin and deposited in the DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities Collection on 2025-10-24.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between engaging leadership and perceived intrinsic organizational values based on survey constructs.
• Modeling the mediating role of psychological need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, relatedness) on work engagement.
• Comparing cross-sectional and longitudinal findings on the directionality between leadership and values.
• Investigating the negative association between engaging leadership and perceived extrinsic organizational values (financial success, power, status).

Strengths

• Includes data from two distinct study designs: a cross-sectional study (N=436) and a longitudinal study across three time-points (N=69).
• Based on a theoretical framework (self-determination theory) examining autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
• Analysis used structural equation modeling and cross-lagged panel models, suggesting structured quantitative data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the full dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The geographic and organizational context of the survey participants is not specified.
