Resumo(s)
As the role of students and lecturers in higher education change, several questions emerge about the
role of each of them on students’ academic performance. This includes questions regarding the impact
of the relationships between students, lecturer’s characteristics and the social environment on students’
performance. To address these questions this article reports a study of the impact of lecturer authentic
leadership, psychological safety and network density on academic performance. It explores the
relationship between network density, psychological safety and lecturer authentic leadership. A
questionnaire was distributed to undergraduate students. A positive impact of lecturer authentic
leadership and psychological safety on academic performance was found. Students from high-density
groups tended to show better academic performance, higher psychological safety and tended to see
their lecturers as being more authentic. A reflection on the role of the lecturer in higher education
settings is presented. It also presents some recommendations on how student academic performance
can be improved by the adoption of specific behaviours by their lecturer.
