But the authors focused on the authenticity of the leadership of entrepreneurs/business founders, as perceived by their employees.
Abstract: Purpose – The leadership of entrepreneurs/business founders, as perceived by their employees, has received limited research attention. Using the Authentic Leadership Model as a guiding framework, this study seeks to provide an exploratory examination of the linkage between employees' perception of the business founder as an authentic leader and the employees' attitudes and happiness.Design/methodology/approach – Participants are employees (n=179) of 62 newer, smaller businesses. Each business represented in the study had been founded by a single owner still active in the daily operations of the company.

TL;DR: Examination of how people express and detect emotions during text-based communication, an environment that eliminates the nonverbal cues typically associated with emotion, suggests users relied on four strategies to express happiness versus sadness, including disagreement, negative affect terms, punctuation, and verbosity.
Abstract: Our ability to express and accurately assess emotional states is central to human life. The present study examines how people express and detect emotions during text-based communication, an environment that eliminates the nonverbal cues typically associated with emotion. The results from 40 dyadic interactions suggest that users relied on four strategies to express happiness versus sadness, including disagreement, negative affect terms, punctuation, and verbosity. Contrary to conventional wisdom, communication partners readily distinguished between positive and negative valence emotional communicators in this text-based context. The results are discussed with respect to the Social Information Processing model of strategic relational adaptation in mediated communication.
