Person-Oriented Leadership Style and Organizational Commitment in Chinese Universities

Abstract

Volatile and ever-changing conditions describe the contemporary framework in which organizations must conduct their operations. One of the most important components of gaining a competitive edge in order to meet such challenges is to guarantee that employees are committed, that they identify with the business, and that they accept its principles and aims as reflecting their own interests. Employees are crucial to an organization's success, particularly when their contentment affects client satisfaction; hence, organizations must view their staff as their first clients. As a result of this, the goal of this study is to examine the beneficial association between person-oriented leadership style and organizational commitment among China University managers. For a better understanding of the study, which strives to explain the concept of leadership and its behavior in order to achieve effectiveness in the education industry, the following objectives are outlined. Clearly, the researcher aims to comprehend the concept of organizational commitment so as to develop knowledge. Social Exchange Theory has been utilized for this investigation. This study is successful in developing a framework based on the literatures on person-oriented leadership and the measuring of the relationship towards organizational commitment. The debate demonstrated that the capacity of leaders to effectively integrate participatory and consultative styles in the execution of everyday tasks increased organizational commitment. This result from prior study is also supported by the proposed conceptual framework, which will be undertaken primarily in the context of the Chinese mainland. This study's debate indirectly enhances the leadership qualities of Chinese university leaders and administrators. The authorities of the education system and administration will get an awareness of the competency of each leader and will be able to incorporate this knowledge into training and competency modules as a result of this study.
