Examining leadership styles in higher education management: evidence from Kazakhstan

ABSTRACT This study examines leadership styles exhibited by university managers and heads in Kazakhstan. The peculiarity of the academic management system in the universities of Kazakhstan is determined by the traditions of management and leadership that have developed both in the culture of the people and in the educational system of the Soviet era, and new trends and values adopted from the Western academic community through internationalization and joining the Bologna process. The study’s results demonstrate that most Kazakhstani university managers (79%) self-asses their leadership style as ‘democratic’ or ‘collegial’. Interesting divergences were observed, such as men in the sample preferring a more independent leadership style compared to women. At the same time, correlation analysis shows a positive relationship between age and the leadership abilities of managers in Kazakhstani universities, as well as between leadership abilities and management styles. Such results are consistent with well-known trends in gender assessment of management styles, and demonstrated gender asymmetry in the Kazakhstani university leadership. The study’s findings can serve as a starting point for larger investigations aimed at deepening understanding of how trained leaders can positively influence the development of the academic environment, the social, educational capital of universities, and overall competitiveness of Kazakhstani universities.

A Data-Driven Study of the Patterns of Influence of Transformational Leadership Styles on Worker Safety Behavior in the Construction Industry

Abstract Safety behavior in the construction industry is the basic guarantee for the safe construction of buildings, and the leadership style of managers has an important impact on the safety behavior of construction workers. To elucidate the mechanism of transformational leadership’s impact on the safety behavior of construction workers, this study first examined the theoretical underpinnings of transformational leadership theory and safety behavior. It then developed a conceptual model of transformational leadership and the safety behavior of construction workers. Finally, it analyzed the correlation and strength of this model between transformational leadership, organizational equity, and safety behavior. The main effect of transformational leadership on construction workers’ safety behavior is analyzed. The mediating variable of organizational equity, which directly affects workers’ safety behavior, is introduced to enhance the mechanism of transformational leadership and construction workers’ safety behavior. The correlation between transformational leadership and safety behavior is 0.89, indicating that transformational leadership has a significant impact on safety behaviors. The regression coefficient of organizational equity was significant at the p<0.001 level of 0.217, testing the mediating role of organizational equity between transformational leadership and worker safety behavior. The data-driven monitoring of workers’ safety behaviors and the research results clarify that transformational leadership facilitates the emergence of safety behaviors among construction workers and ensures the normal operation of construction projects.

Understanding the Role of Human Resource Management, Leadership, and Organizational Culture in Improving Employee Performance: Case Study in the Partnership Division

This research examines how human resource management practices, leadership style, company culture, commitment levels, and motivation influence how healthy employees perform in partnership divisions of plantation companies. It uses research methods to explore how these factors work together to create an environment encouraging employees to give their best. The research reveals that work motivation is a critical driver, and it can be enhanced by HR practices such as financial incentives, training opportunities, and giving employees more responsibility. Organizational commitment fostered through regular training and providing adequate resources further fuels motivation. There may be variations in how managers and staff interpret the company culture. However, values like integrity, collaboration, and adaptability are still essential for creating an environment that supports high performance. Effective leadership, focusing on motivating employees, providing guidance, and fostering a positive work environment, also significantly impacts performance. This research, informed by data collected directly from employees in partnership divisions, offers valuable insights. Organizations can optimize employee performance by understanding these factors through targeted human resource strategies and leadership practices tailored explicitly to partnership divisions.

The Effects of Management Control Systems and Leadership Style on Company Performance

A management control system (MCS) is one of the tools used to evaluate performance at different organisational levels. This study employs the Levers of Control (LoC) dimension introduced by Simons in 1995, consisting of the belief system, boundary system, diagnostic control system, and interactive control system. Besides, leadership styles (transformational style and transactional style) are also believed to influence company performance. This study aims to investigate the role of MCS and leadership styles on company performance. The result finds that MCS and leadership styles have a significant positive impact on company performance. The findings also suggest that the transactional leadership style and the diagnostic control system could improve company performance.

IGBO CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANAGEMENT THEORY

The impression that Africans had no roots or contributions to modern-day management practices has persisted for a while. However, the Igbo people in Nigeria had their own management practice and leadership styles that were peculiar to them before the emergence of the management theories, which was why the Igbos were able to survive the indirect rule and brutal economic exploitation during the colonial era, and immediately after the civil war. This study, therefore, examined the role Igbo culture played in the development of management theories. The study specifically identified some specific Igbo cultural practice and their managerial implications and aligned some Igbo cultural practices to existing modern-day leadership theories. The literature of the study looked at the Igbo race as a people, examined culture, explained some management theories, the Igbo cultural practice and leadership theories, Igbo cultural practices and their managerial implications and Igbo cultural practices and modern day leadership theories. The study used the matching methods as the research design. The idea involved was to basically find commonalities between chosen management theories and the leadership styles of the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria. Mostly secondary sources of data were deployed for this purpose. The study also employed a qualitative methodology and a narrative analysis technique. It was revealed from the findings that before the introduction of modern-day management theory, Igbo culture had been practising the relevant leadership style that was propounded by great thinkers of management such as management by objective (Izuora), Management by exception (Izundiichie), Motivation (ituni muo/ Ikwanye ugwu), Transformational leadership (Ibezimako), Contingencies Leadership (Igbo enweze) and Transactional leadership (Echichi/ochanja/imapu na iwu).

Transformational leadership style and holistic accountability mechanisms in not-for-profit organisations

This study examines: (i) the ability of the transformational leadership style of top management to effect holistic accountability in not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) through the use of downward (to clients), upward (to funders) and lateral (to employees) accountability mechanisms; and (ii) a mediating effects model of not-for-profit accountability practices wherein the use of lateral accountability mechanisms mediates the association between transformational leadership style and the use of downward and upward accountability mechanisms. Data from 236 NFPs in the residential aged care sector in Australia were gathered through survey questionnaire and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. We find that transformational leadership style is significantly associated with the use of downward, upward and lateral accountability mechanisms. We also find that the use of lateral accountability mechanisms mediates the association between transformational leadership style and the use of both downward (full mediation) and upward (partial mediation) accountability mechanisms. The results have implications for the research literature seeking to understand the role of leadership in effecting holistic accountability in NFPs as well as for management and practice in those organisations.

Green human resources management practices, leadership style and employee engagement: Green banking context

This paper discusses green human resource management practices, employee engagement, and transformational leadership in green banking. Specifically, we explore how green human resource management practices influence employee engagement, and how the role of transformational leadership influences their relationships. We used a random sample of 363 green bank employees in Indonesia. Data was collected through online surveys and analyzed using regression modeling. The results show that in general, green human resource management practices are positively and significantly related to employee engagement, and transformational leadership is shown to moderate the relationship. However, specifically, green recruitment and selection only affects the behavioral factors of employee engagement, but not affective and cognitive factors. Meanwhile, training and development only affect the affective factors of employee engagement, but not cognitive and behavioral factors. Furthermore, this research presents novel discoveries regarding how the interplay of contextual and institutional factors between transformational leadership behaviors and green human resource management practices can promote employee engagement.

Fostering employee promotive voice in hospitality: The impact of responsible leadership

Promotive voice refers to employees sharing novel ideas or suggestions aimed at improving the functioning of their work unit or organization. However, in many cases, employees reserve their contribution of constructive ideas for situations where they feel their contributions are acknowledged and appreciated by their managers. The manager's leadership style is therefore of utmost importance in fostering employee voice.Responsible leadership has thus become desirable in service contexts, where conflicting interests arise among stakeholders, but little is known about this leadership style in hospitality.Drawing on conservation of resources theory, we explore how and when responsible leadership fosters employee promotive voice. A time-lagged survey collected data from 392 five-star hotel employees in Turkey. Testing a moderated mediation model using partial least squares showed that responsible leadership increases employees' relational energy, generating greater promotive voice in hotel settings; furthermore, prevalent law and code climate strengthens responsible leadership's effect on relational energy.
