Popis: The workplace antecedents of positive behavior have been demonstrated, but less is known about the cross-cutting outcomes, particularly how authentic leadership and high-performance work systems may affect absenteeism. This empirical study aims to address this unexplored side by considering social exchange theory in the Norwegian tourism industry. In the current study, a moderated mediation model was tested by PROCESS macro in which HPWS stimulates absenteeism behavior among permanent contract employees of the industry through job security and authentic leadership acts as a supportive construct. A self-administered questionnaire was designed targeting permanent contract employees of the industry. Having utilized data from tourism industry employees in Norway, the findings support the following: The existence of HPWS positively and significantly influences employees’ absenteeism behavior. Job security was found to be one of the underlying mechanisms of this link, as it mediates the relationship between HPWS and employee absenteeism. Furthermore, the moderated role of authentic leadership was validated as it was found to play a supportive role in the linkage between HPWS and absenteeism. That is, such an indirect relationship between those constructs through job security was stronger for those who were supervised by leaders who adopt authentic leadership. The theoretical and practical contributions of these findings are discussed.
