Because most researchers have conducted the increasing number of studies on the relationship between authentic leadership and work-related outcomes at an individual level, little is known of the mechanisms by which authentic leadership influences work-related outcomes at the group level. We conducted this empirical study at the group level using data from 301 employees of Chinese companies. Results indicated that each dimension of authentic leadership and authentic leadership as a whole had a significant impact on collective efficacy and group performance. Collective efficacy also had a significant positive impact on group performance, and partially mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and group performance.
