Based on self-determination theory, we argue that such a relationship is sequentially mediated by psychological empowerment and core self-evaluations. In addition, political skill plays a moderating role in the third stage. These hypotheses are validated by a sample of 65 leaders and 275 subordinates from two private enterprises in China's Mainland. Results show that authentic leadership Clime I） influences employees＇ proactive behavior Clime 3） through the psychological empowerment （Time I） and core self-evaluations of employees （Time 2）, and the relationship between core self-evaluations and proactive behavior is positively moderated by employees＇ political skill. In addition, bootstrapping results also verify the moderating role played by employees＇ political skill in the indirect relationship between authentic leadership and proactive behavior through core self-evaluations. Theoretical and managerial implications are further discussed in the light of these findings.展开更多
