Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between regulation competence (RC) and exemplary leadership behaviour (ELB), and self-management (SM) and relationship management (RM) as predictors of ELB among middle-level managers. A survey was conducted among Indian corporate employees during the COVID-19 pandemic; correlation and regression analysis techniques were applied to the data with SPSS version 24. Results indicate that RC has a positive relationship with ELB and that RM and SM competences have a positive impact on ELB, with RM having a stronger influence than SM. The 12 RC competencies are positively correlated with ELB. The results imply that since RM and SM are antecedents to ELB, and given their significance during disruptions, strategic investments are needed for embedding these competencies in the organisational climate and culture. Studies on these constructs in the context of crisis-situations and among non-western setting are rare, thus making this study unique and thereby filling in the research gap.
