Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships between the quality of leadership, achievement recognition, and teamwork with the organizational climate and quality of life at work. A questionnaire was prepared that included all items of the variables in this study of the scales ECO IV and ISTAS21. The sample selected was composed by 1179 workers of a multinational company; mediation and moderation analysis was applied with Process v3.4. The results of this study suggest that teamwork exerts significantly the expected mediating effect in the relationship between the quality of leadership and the organizational climate. However, recognition of achievement does not produce moderation in the relationship between leadership quality with the organizational climate. To sum up, leadership quality, teamwork, and recognition of achievements improve the perception of the organizational climate and quality of life at work. Therefore, the organization must establish its own leadership style that allows it to achieve its objectives and improve the quality of life of workers.
Highlights
The impact of leadership on the organizational climate is discussed in the literature
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, to make predictions about the effects of leadership quality on the organizational climate perceived by workers, we have considered the relationship between these variables and, once determined, we have investigated the effects that teamwork and recognition of achievement have on that relationship through mediation and moderation analysis
The quality of leadership and the recognition of achievement have a great impact on the organizational climate based on the perceptions caused by the leader, as they point out [2], which is explained by the strong correlation between the three variables
Summary
The impact of leadership on the organizational climate is discussed in the literature. Further insight is necessary into how to improve the organizational climate through leadership based on recognition of achievement and teamwork. Research has always studied the role of leadership in improving the effectiveness of employees and the subsequent effect on the results of the organization. We can find studies focused on the characteristics, attributes, and personal traits of the leader himself [3]; other studies such as those of the Ohio State University [4] and the University of Michigan [5], related to behavior, influence or leadership styles; others such as contingency theories, study leadership regarding the environment or the organization and consider the tasks and relationships with the followers [6,7]; and there are new perspectives that explain the effects of the relations of influence and exchange between leaders and followers.
