    Secure Base Leadership in military training: enhancing organizational identification and resilience through work engagement
    (Frontiers Media, 2024-12-24) Navas Jiménez, María del Carmen; Laguía González, Ana; Recio Saboya, Patricia; García Guiu, Carlos; Edú Valsania, Sergio; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Mikulincer, Mario; Moriano León, Juan Antonio; Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)
    Introduction: This study examines the relationships between secure base leadership, organizational identification, and resilience among military cadets, utilizing the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model as a theoretical framework. Specifically, it explores the mediating role of work engagement in these associations within the context of military training. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 363 cadets from the General Military Academy of the Army in Zaragoza, Spain. The sample comprised second-year cadets (n = 170; 46.8%) and third-year cadets (n = 193; 53.2%), with a gender distribution of 84% male and 16% female. Participants evaluated their section chief captains using the Leader as Security Provider Scale and completed validated questionnaires measuring work engagement, organizational identification, and resilience. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships and mediation effects. Results: The findings revealed that secure base leadership is positively associated with work engagement among cadets. Work engagement significantly mediated the relationships between secure base leadership and both organizational identification and resilience. The structural model explained a substantial proportion of variance in the outcome variables, supporting the applicability of the JD-R model in this context. Discussion: These results underscore the importance of secure base leadership in promoting work engagement, which in turn enhances organizational identification and resilience among military cadets. The study highlights the role of leaders as secure bases in fostering personal and organizational well-being. Implications suggest that incorporating secure base leadership principles in military training programs could contribute to the professional development and overall well-being of military personnel.

    The Relationship Between Perceived Discrimination And Affective Balance On People With Physical Disabilities: The Mediating Role Of Environmental Mastery
    (Universidad Católica de Colombia, 2013) Tecglen García, Claudia; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Silván Ferrero, Mª Del Prado; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; García Ael, Mª Cristina
    Numerosas investigaciones ponen de manifiesto que la discriminación percibida tiene un efecto negativo importante en la salud física y mental de las personas pertenecientes a diversos grupos estigmatizados. El objetivo del presente estudio es investigar la relación entre la discriminación percibida y el balance entre emociones positivas y negativas en personas con discapacidad física. Asimismo, se analiza el papel mediador de una variable especialmente relevante en relación con las personas con discapacidad física, el dominio del entorno (Ryff, 1989a), como factor protector de la influencia negativa de la discriminación. En el estudio participaron 52 personas con discapacidad física. Los resultados mostraron que la relación negativa entre la discriminación percibida y el balance afectivo se reduce significativamente al introducir el dominio del entorno en la ecuación. Asimismo, se encontró que la edad de los participantes está positivamente relacionada, tanto con el balance afectivo, como con el dominio del entorno. Esta investigación demuestra que en la medida en que las personas con discapacidad física se sienten con la habilidad personal de elegir o crear entornos favorables, los efectos negativos del estigma disminuyen.

    Acculturation process in Romanian immigrants in Spain: The role of social support and perceived discrimination
    (Springer Nature, 2018-11-28) Cuadrado, Isabel; García Ael, Mª Cristina; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Recio Saboya, Patricia; Pérez Garín, Daniel Arsenio
    This work focuses on the study of the psychological acculturation process of the largest immigrant group in Spain: Romanian immigrants. It is known that both social support and perceived discrimination affect the acculturation process of immigrant people, but not how those three variables act together. This study aims to analyse the mechanism by which social support affects the acculturation of immigrant people –both maintenance and adoption dimensions in public and private acculturation domains– and the role played by perceived discrimination –both group and individual– in that relationship. In order to fulfil this goal, 150 immigrant people of Romanian origin (49.3% male) with a mean age of 35.33 years (SD = 11.84) answered a questionnaire, which included the aforementioned variables. Results show that social support has a positive indirect effect on the degree of adoption of Spanish customs (both in public and private domains) by Romanian immigrants through a reduction of their perceived discrimination. Besides, social support has no effect on Romanian immigrants’ maintenance of home society customs. This research contributes to knowledge on how immigrants’ perceived social support is related to their adoption of host society’s customs, highlighting the mediating role of the perceived discrimination in this process.

    The Development and Validation of the Leader as Security Provider Scale
    (Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2019-10-29) Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Mikulincer, Mario; Shaver, Phillip R.; Laguía González, Ana; Moriano León, Juan Antonio
    In three studies we examined, from an attachment perspective, the utility and the validity of a scale assessing followers’ perceptions of leaders as security providers (LSPS). Based on the literature, we designed a 15-item scale tapping the five functions of a security-enhancing attachment figure (secure base, safe haven, proximity seeking, emotional ties, and separation distress) within organizational contexts. The scale showed acceptable reliability and a one-factor structure in all the studies. In Study 1 (N = 237), the LSPS was positively associated with transformational leadership and inversely associated with passive-avoidant leadership. Moreover, employees’ perceptions of their leader as a security provider made a unique contribution to their satisfaction with the manager and perception of the manager’s efficacy. In Study 2 (N = 263), the LSPS was positively associated with authentic leadership. Employees’ ratings of their leader on the LSPS were positively associated with employees’ organizational identification, work engagement, and work satisfaction. In Study 3 (N = 263), we found that employees’ perceptions of their leader as a security provider had a protective effect on their job burnout. The findings indicate that research on the follower-leader relationship can benefit from the adoption of an attachment perspective.

    Liderazgo de base segura: teoría e investigación
    (Universitat de Barcelona, 2025-07-22) Laguía González, Ana; Edú Valsania, Sergio; Navas Jiménez, María del Carmen; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Moriano León, Juan Antonio
    El liderazgo de base segura, fundamentado en la teoría del apego, emerge como un nuevo enfoque para comprender y mejorar las interacciones líder-subordinado, estableciendo vínculos significativos con otros constructos psicosociales en el ámbito de las organizaciones. Específicamente, este estudio explora empíricamente la relación positiva entre el estilo de liderazgo de base segura y el work engagement de los seguidores, así como la relación negativa entre este estilo de liderazgo y la intención de abandono organizacional, tanto de forma directa como mediada por la identificación con el equipo de trabajo. Un total de 483 empleados (59,4% mujeres; M = 36,9 años, DT = 11,5) cumplimentaron un cuestionario online. Se realizó un modelado de ecuaciones estructurales empleando la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales análisis. Los resultados indicaron que la identificación con el equipo media parcialmente las relaciones entre el liderazgo de base segura y el engagement y la intención de abandono. El liderazgo como base segura constituye un tipo de recurso laboral que puede potenciar los resultados positivos en el trabajo, como el engagement, a la vez que prevenir los resultados negativos, como el abandono. Por tanto, el liderazgo de base segura juega un papel crucial en el bienestar de los empleados.

    Consequences of perceived personal and group discrimination against people with physical disabilities
    (American Psychological Association, 2019) Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Recio Saboya, Patricia; Pérez Garín, Daniel Arsenio; García Ael, Mª Cristina
    Objective: To analyze the consequences for self-esteem of perceived discrimination against people with physical disabilities, as individuals and as a group. Method: A structural model based on the psychosocial literature was tested in a sample of 288 Spanish participants with different degrees of physical disability. This model predicted that personal perceived discrimination would be associated with the internalization of stigma that, in turn, would be negatively associated with the self-esteem of people with physical disabilities. On the other hand, group perceived discrimination, was predicted to enhance group identification and promote intention to contribute to collective action and hence have a beneficial effect on the self-esteem of people with physical disabilities. Results: The model provided a good fit to the data. The relationship between personal discrimination and the self-esteem of people with physical disabilities was completely mediated by internalized stigma. The model also showed that group perceived discrimination had only an indirect effect on self-esteem. Conclusion: This research makes two main contributions. From a theoretical perspective we found that perceived personal and group discrimination influence self-esteem through different paths. From an applied point of view, our results may contribute to the design of interventions to enhance the quality of life of people with physical disabilities.

    Long-term partners’ relationship satisfaction and their perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities
    (Wiley, 2016-03) Shaver, Phillip R.; Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Recio Saboya, Patricia
    n this research, we examined actors’ and partners’ perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities and the associations of these perceptions with relationship satisfaction. A sample of 148 heterosexual couples completed measures of self and partner attachment insecurities and relationship satisfaction. Results indicate that partners agree in their perceptions of their own and each other’s attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance). Based on the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM), we also found that both actors’ scores on avoidance and their perceptions of their partner’s degree of avoidanc are associated with lower relationship satisfaction. Finally, we found that the way an actor perceives his or her partner’s avoidance plays a mediational role in the association between partner’s self-reported avoidance and actor’s relationship satisfaction.

    Attachment insecurities, life satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction from a dyadic perspective: The role of positive and negative affect
    (Wiley, 2017-05-25) Shaver, Phillip R.; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Recio Saboya, Patricia
    he purpose of this research is to examine the association between attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance) and both subjective well-being (positive affect [PA] and negative affect [NA] and life satisfaction) and relationship satisfaction. There were 174 Spanish heterosexual couples with a mean length of relationship of 13.9 years who participated in the study. The hypotheses were tested according to the actor-partner interdependence model. We proposed a model in which PA and NA could mediate the association between attachment insecurities and life and relationship satisfaction. Results show that (1) actor effects are more frequent than partner effects; (2) anxious attachment tends to be related to NA and avoidant attachment to PA; (3) avoidance is more detrimental than anxiety for relationship satisfaction at individual and dyadic levels, and (4) there are some mediational effects of NA and PA in the association between attachment insecurities and life and relationship satisfaction.

    The buffering effect of secure base leadership on the relationship between emotional demands and burnout: A multilevel study among military officer cadets
    (Elsevier, 2025-05-01) Navas Jiménez, María del Carmen; Laguía González, Ana; Recio Saboya, Patricia; García Guiu, Carlos; Pastor Álvarez, Alberto; Edú Valsania, Sergio; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Mikulincer, Mario; Moriano León, Juan Antonio; Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)
    This study examined the association between Secure Base Leadership (SBL) and burnout among 398 officer cadets at the Spanish Army's General Military Academy in Zaragoza. Grounded in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory, this research examines both the direct and moderating effects of SBL on the relationship between emotional demands and burnout within a high-stress military training environment. Cadets were organized into 14 sections, each led by a designated supervisor. Using multilevel modeling, the findings reveal that at the individual level (Level 1), higher emotional demands are significantly associated with increased burnout. At the team level (Level 2), cadets who perceive their leaders as a secure base report lower levels of burnout, indicating that SBL functions as a key job resource that mitigates stress-related outcomes. Furthermore, results demonstrate a significant cross-level interaction, whereby SBL moderates the relationship between emotional demands and burnout, attenuating the negative impact of high emotional demands on cadet well-being. These findings extend the JD-R framework by providing empirical evidence of the buffering role of secure base leadership in high-strain educational and occupational settings. The study underscores the critical role of leadership in fostering psychological resilience and suggests practical implications for the development of leadership training programs in military academies aimed at enhancing cadets' capacity to cope with occupational stressors.
