Under the conservation of resources (COR) theory, team social support was considered a team resource, mediating the relationship between shared authentic leadership and team attitudes respectively. Functional diversity was also examined as a moderator between team social support and team attitudes. Results revealed that shared authentic leadership was a significant and positive predictor of team attitudes. However, team social support was not found to be a significant mediator. On the other hand, functional diversity was able to partially moderate the relationship between socio-emotional social support and team work engagement. A discussion of the results, strengths, and limitations of this study will be provided at the end of this manuscript. born digital application/pdf In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/page/InC/1.0/ Restricted Access http://hdl.handle.net/10560/islandora:1025084
