Abstract
This dissertation explored whether teleworkers’ sense of community affected leadership substitutes. The purpose was to explore teleworker perceptions of the level of sense of community and whether that level affects the preference for leadership substitutes to a teleworker’s self-defined sense of productivity. It also explored teleworker perception regarding the sense of community in the post-COVID era and how that may tie into how much a teleworker prefers a leadership substitute. The data analysis revealed a statistically significant outcome from regression testing, despite contradicting the original hypothesis that a low level of sense of community would result in a high usage of leadership substitutes. The sample size (n=239) exceeded the power analysis, indicating a robust and reliable dataset. Ultimately, the results of this study showed a 1.3-unit increase in the use of leadership substitutes for every one-unit increase in sense of community.
