Zusammenfassung
The implications of sleep deprivation over a short period of time include the
depletion of mental resources, which may oppress emotional regulation and influence
mood. These factors may affect one's ability to assess an their relationship with others,
especially in an organizational setting with leaders in power positions.
In a study of a Panhellenic sorority at the University of Oregon, four leaders (in
supervisor roles) and thirty- one followers (effectively subordinates), were surveyed
during a six-day period of Fall Formal Recruitment to gather data. This included
quantity of nightly sleep, positive and negative affect, and relationship satisfaction.
Of the hypotheses tested, there was evidence from the study that indicated a
statistically significant relationship between metrics such as follower and leader sleep,
leader sleep and leader negative affect, leader sleep and positive leader affect, and that
.
leader sleep predicted leader negative affect levels and leader satisfaction with
followers.
