Abstract

Employee leadership potential are one of the concerns in the workplace, and studies have shown that both superstition and self-esteem have an impact on leadership potential. Therefore, this study aims to enrich the research on leadership potential by exploring the influence of superstition and self-esteem on leadership potential, and also to provide corresponding theoretical guidance for helping employees improve workplace relationships and enhance personal leadership potential. This study surveyed 218 subjects using the scale method, then analyzed demographic variables through independent sample t-tests and one-way analysis of variance, explored the relationship among superstition, self-esteem and leadership potential through correlation analysis and regression analysis, and finally used the mediating test to explain the mediating role of self-esteem between superstition and leadership potential. The findings of this study are as follows: There is a significant negative correlation between superstition and leadership ability of employees; There is a significant positive correlation between self-esteem and employee leadership potential; There is a significant negative correlation between superstition and self-esteem; Self-esteem mediates between superstition and leadership potential of employees.
