Leader Idea Championing for Follower Readiness to Change or Not? A Moderated Mediation Perspective of Prosocial Sensegiving

Figures & data

Figure 1. A moderated mediation model of the effect that change leaders’ demonstrated championing has on change recipients’ individual readiness to change.

Table 1. Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) overview.

Scales	k	Intraclass Correlation	Lower Bound (95% Confidence Interval)	Upper Bound (95% Confidence Interval)
Championing	15	.122	.−128	.330
Narrative Intelligence	9	.877	.845	.905
Leadership Influence Tactics	20	.931	.913	.946
General Self-efficacy	7	.843	.792	.883
Readiness to Change	6	.685	.598	.759
Psychological need Satisfaction	9	.795	.741	.842

Note: Findings are based on Average Measures. Two-way mixed effects model where people effects are random and measures effects are fixed.

a. The estimator is the same, whether the interaction effect is present or not.

b. Type C intraclass correlation coefficients using a consistency definition. The between-measure variance is excluded from the denominator variance.

c. This estimate is computed assuming the interaction effect is absent, because it is not estimable otherwise.
