Note(s):

T1 stands for Time 1 and T2 stands for Time 2. Unstandardized coefficients are reported. Perceived leader competence was measured on a 7-point scale: 1 = Not at all, 7 = To a great extent. Leader age was assessed in years; young, average, and old refer to −1SD, mean, and +1SD of age. Employee conflict involvement was assessed on a 7-point scale: 1 = Never, 7 = Very often. Leader generativity was assessed on a 7-point scale: 1 = Does not apply at all, 7 = Applies completely
