Abstract
This paper explores robotic leadership and the
impact of different human-leadership styles in teams leaded
by social robots. It is anticipated that social robots can have
the capability to serve as leaders for human teams and to
collaborate with humans in order to improve the organizational
requirements of the workplace environment. We report an
experiment conducted in order to determine which humanleadership styles would be associated with better results in
organizational phenomena, such as, employee productivity, role
ambiguity, engagement and employee satisfaction. The sample
comprised 108 collaborators divided in 36 teams, who had
to perform a collaborative task with a robotic leader acting
according to two different leadership styles. The experiment
results showed that both leadership styles can have positive
impacts in organizational outcomes, although in different aspects. These findings yield important insights for the creation
of robotic partners and for the successful introduction of robots
as leaders of human teams
