This study compared its effects versus those of other types of leadership.</p> <p><strong>Methodology. </strong>Absentee data of 379 representatives of customer services of a Peruvian call center were analyzed and the representatives answered a questionnaire about the Framework of Values in Competition and its four types of leadership. Day and night work shifts were compared.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>It was observed that absenteeism declines with people-oriented leadership, although only during the day shift, and the addition of leadership-oriented to change, results and control devalues models.</p> <p><strong>Limitations/implications. </strong>Future studies should cover the performance of the worker. The findings suggest a need to re-focus the theoretical focus on environmental contingencies that affect leadership effectiveness.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value. </strong>Leadership theorists will ask themselves in what circumstances the multiple leadership is effective. Call center managers will appreciate the organizational value of people-oriented leadership at the first level of supervision.</p> <p>Doi: <a class="intent_doi_link Citation__identifier__link" title="DOI: https://doi.org/10.1108/JEFAS-03-2017-0058" href="https://doi.org/10.1108/JEFAS-03-2017-0058">https://doi.org/10.1108/JEFAS-03-2017-0058</a></p>}, number={43}, journal={Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science}, author={León, Federico R. and Morales, Oswaldo and Ramos, Juan D. and Goyenechea, Álvaro and Rojas, Paul A. and Meza, José and Burga León, Andrés}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={154–167} }
