Leader-member exchange and employee resilience: the mediating role of regulatory focus

PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether leader–subordinate exchange (LMX) quality influences subordinate resilience. Drawing upon Higgins’ (1998) regulatory focus theory, it is hypothesized that high LMX leaders induce a positive appraisal of situations which primes promotion regulatory focus in subordinates which in turn increases employee motivation and resilience.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a cross-sectional survey design. Responses were collected from 139 employees of three information technology and enabled services organizations in India. Data were analyzed using PLS-based structure equation modeling package ADANCO.FindingsLMX was found to be positively related to employee resilience. Promotion regulatory focus mediated the relationship between LMX and employee resilience.Practical implicationsThe study demonstrates that leader interaction and behaviors can promote resilience in employees. Organizations need to see how supervisors can be trained to “frame” challenges and adversity in a manner that motivates employees and promotes resilience.Originality/valuePrevious studies have found different types of leadership styles to be associated with subordinate resilience. This suggests that there are certain factors across various leadership styles that influence resilience. The study uses LMX theory to suggest that it is not leadership style but underlying dimensions such as trust, reciprocity and clarity that play a vital role in cultivating employee resilience.

Max Weber's theory of personal charisma

Max Weber's theory of personal charisma Abstract The goal of research is to identify Max Weber's power, Max Weber's types of power, Max Weber's charisma, charisma and charisma, define the psychological, social, and relational dimensions of charismatic leadership. The descriptive approach was adopted in this research. The research concluded that: Weber's comprehensive theory of charismatic leadership should be expanded to include details on how to accurately identify charismatic leaders and distinguish leaders. In addition, we need to better account for individual or historical circumstances and cultural attitudes that lead to charismatic leadership and influence them. Also, Weber was aware of the prophets when he discussed the charismatic leaders, but the prophets are not the only kind of religious leaders. Any theory of charismatic leadership must have a disparity with regard to different types of leaders and religious leaders who have cross identities, because we may disagree with the psychological, social or relational factors that arise or contribute to charisma, especially because what one person thinks is that charisma is not permissible Interpreted or tested by another person. The charismatic leadership varies among leaders of different kinds - Muslim intellectuals, politicians, government officials, leaders of organizations and scientists, linked to internal or external conflicts of values (such as religion) and immediate needs (such as safety). Keywords: Theory, Max Weber, Personal Charisma.

A Literature Review into Leadership Styles Discussed in the Past Five Years

Leadership is one of the most discussed topics in literature across all different industries and sciences. There is a need for clarification and overview on the different types of leadership discussed in literature. This explorative research describes a systematic literature review to give a general overview of the types of leadership discussed in the literature in the time period between March 2013 and March 2018. In total 658 different types of leadership were mentioned in 380 analyzed articles. Of that transformational leadership was mentioned 200 times, effective leadership was mentioned 118 times, transactional leadership 110 times, participative leadership was mentioned 89 times and ethical leadership was mentioned 72 times. Often these types of leadership were also mentioned together and a great overlap on the different leadership styles was mentioned. Further research on leadership should therefore focus less on explorative research and more on developmental research of a new full range scientific leadership model including the different leadership styles discussed most often in the past five year.

SIMBOLISME KEPEMIMPINAN TRANSFORMASIONAL DALAM OPTIMALISASI DIRI PUSTAKAWAN

Today the library is a dynamic organization, going inside to fulfill the dynamism of this matter which is crucial thing that is element of leadership. Nowadays it has been discovered that different types of leadership can be the successor to which a leader can apply that type, so that when that type of leadership becomes the leader's principle, it will create a certain symbolism. There is a charismatic type of other types of leadership, the transformational leadership style. This leadership style is based on the follower's satisfaction in addition to the goal achievement orientation, so this style is more supportive of the followers (librarians) to reach their orientation. Therefore, this research as a search for the symbolism that appears in its implications for self-autonomy librarians. Analysis used in this research, that is by using literature study. Researchers reviewed the literature with the primary literature is the literature of Bass & Riggio entitled Transformational Leadership .

Female leadership in the Middle Eastern higher education

PurposeFemale leadership is a still largely unexplored aspect of the higher education (HE) field. While it is known that barriers to entry exist, few studies have addressed female leadership and have investigated what makes a female academic seek leadership, what their experiences are and how they perceive their positions and the associated responsibilities. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to this lacuna as it provides a qualitative account of female academic leaders’ perceptions regarding their positions in the Middle East (ME) context. It also outlines their main tasks as administrative and academic leaders.Design/methodology/approachData collection and analysis took place according to grounded theory principles, as outlined in this study. Participants were selected according to theoretical sampling principles, access and willingness to participate.FindingsThe findings illustrate a core concept, the female academic leadership mindset in the ME, and three emergent concepts that address the main shared perceptions, which are leadership experiences and expectations, differential treatment and work-life balance. The first discusses the different types of leadership and how female leaders experienced their positions, the second addresses the perceived differential treatment female leaders experience and the last addresses the dual pressure of work and home responsibilities that many female leaders have to deal with. Interestingly, several participants felt that fellow females were often unsupportive, which might also provide an explanation as to why women still experience obstacles.Originality/valueThis study provides in-depth exploratory accounts of female leaders in various Middle Eastern HE sectors, and gives insight into leadership-related perceptions. Furthermore, it explores the effect of the Middle Eastern cultural context on aspects of female leadership.

LEED certification and market value of the firm

This article extends signalling theory to research on voluntary green standards adoption and investigates the firm's value in green buildings. The study analyses the market valuation of investments in sustainable buildings, measuring the market reaction to three different types of leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) announcements: 1) intent for application; 2) achievement of certification; 3) reinforcement of certification. The study hypothesises the market will react differently to intent, achievement and reinforcement signals. Empirical evidence shows a positive market reaction to LEED announcements in general, with positive but not statistically significant market reaction to the intent signals, and positive and statistically significant reaction to the achievement and reinforcement signals. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Motivated or Demotivated to Be Creative: The Role of Self‐Regulatory Focus in Transformational and Transactional Leadership Processes

Numerous studies have recognised the importance of transformational leadership style for encouraging employees’ creativity. Self‐regulation studies have highlighted the influence of a promotion focus on employees’ creative behaviours. Yet both leadership and self‐regulation theories have paid less attention to the role transactional leadership style and situational prevention regulatory focus may play in affecting employees’ creativity. In this article we present a theoretical model which examines transformational and transactional leadership styles and both promotion and prevention situational self‐regulatory focus (SRF). The model suggests that while transformational leadership promotes creativity, at least partially by enhancing follower's situational promotion SRF, transactional leadership style (transactional active) is aligned with followers’ prevention situational SRF, which is associated with leaders’ hindering of followers’ creativity. Findings from two studies, an experimental study (N = 189) and a field study (N = 343 employees and 75 managers), support this model, showing that the relationship between different types of leadership and creativity are more complex than previously regarded. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The internal and external face of Dutch environmental policy: A case of fading environmental leadership?

With regard to European Union (EU) environmental directives, member states seem to show a discrepancy between external ambitions as expressed in the European arena, and realisation of these ambitions at home. Depending on the level of their internal and external ambitions, states may ideal-typically take four positions: laggards, symbolic leaders, pioneers or pushers. Furthermore, the actions of member states can be characterised with the help of different types of leadership: structural, cognitive, entrepreneurial and exemplary. Taking the case of the Netherlands, we hypothesise that there is an external face, operationalised with reference to the Dutch role in the formation process of four major environmental directives (air quality, nature conservation, agricultural pollution by nitrate and water quality), and an internal face, observed through the practices of domestic implementation of those directives. Looking at environmental policy processes over time, the gap between external and internal faces actually widened as practical implementation evolved. We conclude that the overall development of the Netherlands as an environmental leader was influenced not only by changes in the wider political and societal environment, but also by an increasing awareness of the discrepancy between the country’s external and internal faces. In the more recent cases, especially water quality, the focus of leadership shifted from substantive to governance ambitions. Despite a waning implementation record, the Netherlands still shows forms of entrepreneurial and, particularly, cognitive leadership.

Surveying individual political elites: a comparative three-country study

This study examines and discusses survey strategies among political elites at different government levels in three countries; Belgium, Canada and Israel. More specifically, we discuss recruitment strategies that produce high response levels among hard to reach target populations in different political and cultural environments. Next, we also examine which political elites are most likely to engage in survey research and which ones are hardest to target. We find that (former) top elites (e.g. members of the executive, different types of leadership) are less likely to participate while regional politicians tend to be more likely to participate in this type of research. Finally, we analyze item non-response and find that the right mix of closed (survey) and open (interview-like) questions decreases item non-response. Moreover, after having established trust and rapport, respondents—even high profile elites—will provide answers to relatively personal and intrusive questions. While item non-response remains low in all three countries throughout the survey, there is a noticeable difference between Belgium and Canada on one hand, and Israel on the other, with markedly higher item non-response in the latter.

Impacts of Leadership on Project-Based Organizational Innovation Performance: The Mediator of Knowledge Sharing and Moderator of Social Capital

With the increasing importance of leadership in project-based organizations, innovation is essential for the sustainable development of construction projects. Since few studies have explored the relationship between leadership and innovation in construction projects, this study fills this research gap and makes a significant theoretical contribution to the existing body of literature. Based on a knowledge-rated and resource-based view, this study aims to investigate various effects of different types of leadership on innovation performance in a construction project-based organization. Therefore, a theoretical model was constructed to explore the mediation mechanism and boundary condition of different types of leadership to improve innovation. The theoretical model was validated with empirical data covering project managers and engineers from the project-based organization in China via regression analysis and path analysis. The results show that transformational leadership and transactional leadership have some positively significant effects on knowledge sharing and innovation performance. Meanwhile, knowledge sharing partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and/or transactional leadership and innovation performance. Additionally, by considering different levels of social capital, transformational leadership is likely to have a strong positive impact on innovation performance through knowledge sharing. Our findings ensure a better understanding of the role of leadership, knowledge management, and social capital in the innovation process of construction projects. Therefore, project managers should promote a higher stimulation of a leadership behavior, encouraging knowledge management, and establishing the social capital, thus improving the innovation performance in the project-based organizations in construction projects.

Influence of leadership on implementing Dementia Care Mapping: A multiple case study.

Dementia Care Mapping is an internationally applied method for enhancing person-centred care for people with dementia in nursing homes. Recent studies indicate that leadership is crucial for the successful implementation of Dementia Care Mapping; however, research on this topic is rare. This case study aimed to explore the influence of leadership on Dementia Care Mapping implementation in four nursing homes. Twenty-eight interviews with project coordinators, head nurses and staff nurses were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Nursing homes that failed to implement Dementia Care Mapping were characterised by a lack of leadership. The leaders of successful nursing homes promoted person-centred care and were actively involved in implementation. While overall leadership performance was positive in one of the successful nursing homes, conflicts related to leadership style occurred in the other successful nursing homes. Thus, it is important that leaders promote person-centred care in general and Dementia Care Mapping in particular. Furthermore, different types of leadership can promote successful implementation. Trial registration of the primary study: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN43916381.

Women Leaders within Higher Education in the United States: Supports, Barriers, and Experiences of Being a Senior Leader

Fundamental change is underway in higher education requiring more leaders and a different type of leadership at all levels. However, statistics indicate the women are under represented at the senior-most levels. Our research focused on 35 women at the senior-most levels of institutions of higher education and explored their journey into senior leadership roles and their experience of being a leader in higher education today. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, coded, and analyzed. Included is a statistical comparison of the experiences of white women and women of color. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the experiences of women in senior leadership positions in higher education. The women leaders in this study provide more detailed descriptions of the positive aspects of being in a leadership role than have been previously reported. The positive aspects of being in a leadership role are important to document in order to provide balanced perspective on the experiences of being a senior leader and a woman in higher education.

The Effects of Instructional, Transformation and Distributed Leadership on Students' Academic Outcomes: A Meta -Analysis

This paper reviewed the effects of educational leadership on students' academic outcomes during the past decade. 14 studies were found and included with the computation of 16 effect size statistics. This research evaluated the effect of three different types of leadership, instructional, transformational and distributed, on students' academic achievement. The study found no discernable differences with respect to the type of leadership on students' academic outcomes.Discernable leadership was found to be the most influential leadership style on students' academic achievement. This finding confirms earlier arguments suggesting that if leaders are more engaged in the business of teaching and learning of their students, the academic performance of schools pupils become better. In light of earlier reviews of leadership effects on students' outcomes, this study shows that the influence of leadership on academic measures differs from its effects on non-academic outcomes including social, psychological and political characteristics.

A Two-Pronged Approach? Combined Leadership Styles and Innovative Behavior

ABSTRACTThis article examines the relationship between transformational, transactional, and empowering leadership and the innovative behavior of public sector employees. Instead of investigating their association individually, this article focuses on the interaction between different types of leadership. The analysis is based on a survey from one of Denmark’s largest hospitals (n = 1,647). The main result is that empowering leadership, which focuses on employee capacity, moderates the association between transformational leadership, which is directed at motivation, and innovative behavior. The findings emphasize the importance of not only focusing on a single leadership style but also understanding how they work in combination.

Ch-Ch-Ch-changes: How Action Phase Functional Leadership, Team Human Capital, and Interim vs. Permanent Leader Status Impact Post-transition Team Performance

This study addresses the following: (1) does a team leader change along with the quality of the team’s human capital affect post-change team performance?; (2) is functional leadership of the team’s human capital a driver of post-change team performance?; and (3) should interim vs. permanent leaders manage the team’s human capital differently? We analyzed archival data from Major League Baseball teams who had undergone an in-season manager change (N = 129). Team performance improved after a leader change, and the quality of the team’s strategic and non-strategic core human capital were positively related to post-change performance. New leaders who engaged in more active functional leadership of the strategic core human capital enhanced the positive effects of human capital quality. Additionally, active functional leadership enhanced the positive effects of strategic core human capital for interim replacement leaders, but not for permanent replacement leaders. This study extends theory and practice on the importance of functional team leadership and human capital following a leader transition. As such, our results provide actionable knowledge for organizations and managers who are part of leadership transitions. This empirical study leverages a unique sample to provide insights into the implications of team leader transitions. The results of this study shed light on the impact that leader transitions which involve “interim” and “permanent” replacements may have on post-transition team performance and how these different types of leaders should leverage the inherent human capital that exists within the team.

El propósito de la presente investigación es determinar el liderazgo del personal directivo en el subsistema de educación primaria de la Unidad Educativa “Dr. Amílcar Fonseca” Municipio Candelaria Estado Trujillo. El estudio fue de tipo descriptivo porque permitió profundizar el conocimiento, el saber y la información de la variable planteada: liderazgo, utilizando para ello un diseño de campo por cuanto la información se obtuvo en el mismo sitio de los hechos; es decir, la escuela donde se delimitó la investigación. En relación a la población-muestra se trabajó con 43 docentes que laboran en la institución a los cuales se les aplicó un instrumento tipo cuestionario de alternativas múltiples conformado por 36 ítems y cuya validación la otorgaron tres (03) especialistas los cuales verificaron el cumplimiento de los criterios metodológicos exigidos para tal fin. Mientras que la confiabilidad fue de 0,98 mediante el coeficiente Alpha de Crombach. Los resultados demostraron que en el plantel la gerencia no hace uso de diferentes tipos de liderazgo; llegándose a la conclusión relevante que en la época actual los gerentes educativos deben combinar diferentes paradigmas en su liderazgo.

Leadership Construction in Intra-Asian English as Lingua Franca Decision-Making Meetings

In Asia, the English language serves as a lingua franca to connect people from various backgrounds for managerial synergy. In this study, we investigate leadership in a setting where English as lingua franca is used among Asian business professionals. Employing the notion of discourse, we use quantitative and qualitative analyses to identify how leadership emerges in meetings with multicultural participants, and how different types of leadership affect these decision-making meetings. We conclude that linguistic and contextual factors discursively construct different styles of leadership, and that these leadership styles lead to starkly different team outcomes. The overall result indicates that a business meeting is not a logical process leading to a rational decision, but rather an organic mix of contextual, linguistic, and leadership factors when English as lingua franca is used in multicultural participants.
