The influence of managerial innovative capabilities and authentic leadership on financial performance with organizational climate as a moderator in Indonesian public hospitals
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of managerial innovative capabilities and authentic leadership on financial performance, with organizational climate as a moderating variable in Indonesian hospitals. The increasing complexity and competition in healthcare require innovative managerial practices and authentic leadership for sustainable financial performance. A quantitative survey approach was utilized, involving 111 respondents from various PSA hospitals in Indonesia. The research instrument used a 1–5 Likert scale questionnaire distributed through a combination of Google Form and direct surveys to hospitals. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) PLS. The results showed that authentic leadership has a positive influence on financial performance, and organizational climate strengthens this effect. However, managerial innovative capabilities did not have a significant effect on financial performance, and the relationship was not moderated by organizational climate. The findings highlight the importance of developing authentic leadership in hospitals. In addition, creating a conducive organizational climate can be an important strategy to encourage collaboration, innovation, and sustainability, especially in the face of dynamic challenges and limited resources in the healthcare sector. This study makes a theoretical contribution in expanding the literature on leadership and health management innovation while providing practical and policy-relevant insights for healthcare organizations in developing countries.

BackgroundThis study aims to investigate the direct associations among workplace violence, organizational climate, authentic leadership, and physicians’ job satisfaction, as well as the indirect pathways through job burnout, with the aim of offering potential preventive strategies.MethodsThrough a purposive sampling method, a total of 408 questionnaires were distributed to physicians in six tertiary-level hospitals in Anhui Province, and 399 valid questionnaires were returned. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model.ResultsAlthough workplace violence did not directly influence physicians’ job satisfaction, it indirectly reduced it by exacerbating burnout. A positive organizational climate was shown to enhance job satisfaction directly and indirectly by mitigating job burnout. Authentic leadership directly enhanced job satisfaction and indirectly alleviated burnout by optimizing the organizational climate. Authentic leadership also indirectly enhanced job satisfaction by improving the organizational climate and alleviating job burnout.ConclusionsThis study confirms that workplace violence, authentic leadership and organizational climate influence physicians’ job satisfaction through both direct and burnout-mediated indirect pathways. Interventions and programs promoting a positive work environment could potentially reduce job burnout and increase job satisfaction among Chinese physicians of tertiary hospitals.

To examine the influence of hospital culture and authentic leadership on the effects of quality improvement practices on patient satisfaction. Nurses in formal leadership roles shape and are shaped by organizational culture to achieve high performance standards to influence quality of care. Using structural equation modelling, we tested a model on quality improvement practices across three participant groups that differed based on authentic leadership and hospital culture. We used survey data from a cross-sectional study conducted in 2015 measuring nurse. Managers' perceptions of authentic leadership, implementation of quality improvement, and organizational culture in Canadian hospitals. 226 nurse managers participated. Our model estimations fit for the high-relational group and mixed group. Our model explained 50.7% and 39.5% variance in our outcome variable of patient satisfaction for the high-relational group and mixed group, respectively. Our model failed to fit the low-relational group. Authentic leadership and developmental/group hospital cultures improve quality management practices, quality of care and patient satisfaction. In organizations with low authentic leadership and hierarchical/rational cultures, strategies should target increasing authentic leadership and shifting to developmental cultures. Organizations with high authentic leadership and/or developmental/group cultures should target employee engagement, autonomy and teamwork. We examined how different combinations of authentic leadership and hospital culture influence the effects of quality management practices on quality improvement and patient satisfaction. Findings demonstrate that having both high authentic leadership and developmental or group hospital cultures are essential for quality improvement practices to enhance the quality of care and patient satisfaction. These organizations would benefit the most from systemic programs aimed at standardizing quality management practices as they have the culture and leadership to support these practices. For hospitals with hierarchical/rational cultures and/or low authentic leadership, enhancing hospital culture and leadership through leadership training and accreditation programs is critically needed. The College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta contributed to this study by facilitating data collection and supporting the conduct of the study through messaging to its members.

This study examines the influence of authentic, ethical, and transformational leadership on leadership effectiveness and employees’ trust in leaders in a project-based Indonesian state-owned enterprise. Data were collected from 90 employees of PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk — Division of Operations 5, Kalimantan. A quantitative causal design was applied using purposive sampling, and analysis was conducted with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that ethical and transformational leadership positively and significantly affect leadership effectiveness, while authentic leadership does not. Ethical leadership also directly enhances trust in leaders, whereas authentic leadership, transformational leadership, and leadership effectiveness do not significantly affect trust. Mediation analysis shows that leadership effectiveness partially mediates the effects of ethical and transformational leadership on trust. The study provides theoretical contributions by clarifying the distinct roles of leadership styles, and practical implications for leadership development strategies in project-based organizations.

Authentic leadership is an emerging construct which has attracted scholars and practitioners alike due to the felt need of ethical climate in organizations among rising corporate scandals. Though considerable attempts have been made to further refine the construct by undertaking validation studies in different cultures, no study has reported validation of authentic leadership questionnaire in the Pakistani context. This study offers new contributions towards the validation of the authentic leadership questionnaire from Pakistani context and reports the results of confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, and construct validity by analyzing responses from three independent nationally representative samples (n=580). Such need has been felt by many authors to provide the evidence of validity in other cultures like Asia. Using structural equation modeling through AMOS, this study concludes that the authentic leadership questionnaire is a valid and reliable construct in the Pakistani culture too. The model fit indices indicate that the second order model of authentic leadership is more robust and preferable than the first order model and the composite factor. Positive impact of authentic leadership on championing and partial mediation of management support and affective commitment to change between authentic leadership and championing indicate predictive validity of authentic leadership questionnaire. Implications, limitations, and future recommendations are discussed.

Transformational and authentic leadership are two models of leadership, which have some similarities and are relevant to sport. However, these leadership models are also distinct and consequently may predict athlete outcomes differently. Authentic leadership has received little attention in sport and so research is needed to examine how it is unique in terms of what it adds to dominant sport leadership models. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether authentic leadership (a) is empirically distinct from transformational leadership and (b) adds to transformational leadership by explaining unique variance in commitment and enjoyment. A total of 421 (227 female, Mage = 20.32) team sport athletes took part in the study by completing a questionnaire. Authentic leadership was correlated to transformational leadership, suggesting transformational and authentic leadership show some convergent validity. However, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that authentic leadership also shows discriminant validity to transformational leadership and has incremental predictive power above that of transformational leadership, in terms of predicting athletes’ enjoyment and commitment. Our findings enhance our understanding of authentic leadership in sport and clearly show that it is distinct from transformational leadership. They also highlight the importance of authentic leadership and how it adds to transformational leadership in terms of predicting athletes’ commitment and enjoyment.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of a positive form of leadership, particularly authentic leadership, on ambidexterity, as ambidexterity has shown to improve financial performance. What is less clear, however, is how to create the organisational context towards ambidexterity or balanced exploitative and explorative innovation. This study set out to fill that gap in researching the direct influence of authentic leadership as well as indirect effect through innovation climate on ambidexterity.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research approach was followed, with an online survey to employees in South African organisations. There were 733 useable questionnaires. Structural equation modelling was used to test proposed hypotheses of direct, indirect and moderation effects.FindingsThe results revealed that authentic leadership has a significant and positive direct effect on ambidexterity and a significant indirect effect through an innovation climate. Environmental dynamism lessened the regression weight of the relationship between authentic leadership and ambidexterity.Research limitations/implicationsThe data collected were cross-sectional and respondents were South African employees; therefore, caution should be exercised when generalising the results to other organisations in a broader African context.Practical implicationsUnderstanding that both authentic leadership and innovation climate are required to significantly influence ambidexterity allows organisations to direct their leadership selection and development.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this research lies in clarifying the influence of authentic leadership on ambidexterity in the South African context.
