Employee power needs, leadership, and employee organizational commitment: A case study of high‐tech enterprises

AbstractIndustry 4.0 brings opportunities and challenges to organizations. Studies have shown that employees with higher power needs have a higher level of organizational commitment, which is also affected by transactional leadership. However, existing studies lack effective conversion pathways and do not adapt to the new environment of Industry 4.0. From a systematic perspective, this paper covers eight high‐tech fields, such as electronic information, biotechnology, and medicine, and establishes a comprehensive model. We use multi‐level regression analysis and the bootstrap method to explore the transformation path of employee power needs to organizational commitment. The results show that in high‐tech enterprises, employee power needs positively affect out‐of‐role behaviours, and there is also a positive correlation between out‐of‐role behaviour and organizational commitment. In addition, employee out‐of‐role behaviours play mediating roles. Transactional leadership moderates the relationship between out‐of‐role behaviours and organizational commitment. This study explains (1) the driving force of employee power needs on out‐of‐role behaviours and (2) the complexity of changing organizational commitments, and expands the adjustment path of leadership. This study considers the enterprise as a system that helps various departments carry out collaborative actions and produce a synergistic effect, thereby improving the organizational commitment of employees and the overall effectiveness of the enterprise. It is of great significance to the management optimization and leader motivation of high‐tech enterprises, especially Industry 4.0 strategic emerging enterprises. In the future, we can also develop a system for leadership and employee power needs to help organizations analyse organizational commitment to improve organizational efficiency.

The Mediating Path of Transformational Leadership: A Cross-Sectional Study in Chinese Context

Organisations that are going through transformative processes need to make sure that they have effective change management and employee engagement. Considering the function that transformational leadership plays as a mediator, this study aims to investigate the connection between employee engagement and the change management process. This research uses a cross-sectional methodology and gathers information from a wide range of people working for various companies. Employee engagement, opinions of the change management process, and transformational leadership are all measured using a standard questionnaire. Statistically, statisticians use tools like mediation analysis and correlational testing to look into the purported links. Findings indicate a strong positive correlation between change management and the variables that inspire employee engagement. The research findings have also demonstrated that transformational leadership is an important mediator between organisational change management and employee engagement. This research suggests that transformational leaders can make employee engagement an even more powerful tool for effective change management. This study shed light on the need to develop transformational leadership skills and encourage employee participation in initiatives to bring about organisational change. Organisations should prioritise strategies that enhance employee engagement, such as communication, competition, environment, management support, innovation, job characteristics, organisational system, organisational structure, reward, and workplace well-being. Moreover, the success of change management activities can be improved by investing in leadership development programmes that aim to create transformational leadership behaviours. An empirical investigation of the function that transformational leadership plays as a mediator in the connection between the process of change management and employee engagement is the contribution that this study makes to the current body of research. Businesses can improve employee engagement and leadership practices during times of transformation if they shed light on this complex interplay and gain a more profound comprehension of the factors that drive successful change implementation.

Transformational Leadership Influences Employee Performance: A Review and Directions for Future Research

The world is currently in an era of great turmoil, from the increase in sudden changes such as industrial accidents and terrorist threats to the global spread of the COVID-19, thus showing that the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity characteristic of the market environment has become a norm. The personal traits and abilities of the entrepreneur determine the survival and success or failure of the company, and it is only by choosing a more appropriate leadership style according to the time and the right changes that one can seek opportunities in the crisis. Leadership style affects the work atmosphere and morale of the entire organization, and plays an important role in work performance, and how to use leadership theory to improve employee performance is attracting more and more attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, based on a review of related studies at home and abroad, and from the perspectives of social exchange theory, upper echelons theory and leadership-member exchange theory, the mechanisms and relationships between transformational leadership and employee performance are organized based on a review of the conceptual structure, influencing factors and mechanisms of action of related concepts. At the same time, the more complex influence relationship between the two is also sorted out to reveal the impact path of transformational leadership on employee performance. In addition, we summarize the shortcomings of the existing research results and propose the future outlook, so as to provide some reference value for future scholars who study transformational leadership and employee performance.

Philosophy, self-determination, peace and intercultural co-existence in Nigeria: an Igwebuike perspective

This paper has studied the issue of agitations for self-determination in Nigeria from an African philosophical point of view. It studied these agitations in the light of the amalgamation treaty of 1914, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and most importantly, extant international laws. The beauty of this piece is that it focused on major issues which constitute the basis for the agitations for self-determination in Nigeria namely religious marginalization, ethnic marginalization, economic marginalization and political marginalization. The burden of this piece is the issue of the problem of co-existence in Nigeria. This paper articulated its position based on Igwebuike philosophy as a theoretical framework, which emphasizes dialogue, justice and inclusive leadership as indispensable pathways to integration and national unity. For the purpose of this study, the historical and analytical methods of inquiry were patronized given that historical events were studied and the outcome of such events analysed. It submits that, rather than using force to quell the agitation for self-determination, the path of justice, dialogue and inclusive leadership should be explored as most cases of cessation are responses to the absence of these state ideals.

The Role of Quran and Sunnah in Solving Leadership Failure

Social injustice issues that are skyrocketing in recent times have garnered attention from various parties. One of the issues includes leadership failure, which has caused an immense impact on the social structure. Strong leadership is essential in shaping society as it affects the growth of civilization. Unfortunately, the role of the Quran and Sunnah in guiding the leadership path has been abandoned by the leaders hence resulting in its crisis. Even though many scholars have provided the discussions of leadership’s crisis solutions, most of them are secular in essence due to the roles of revelations that have been continuously ignored and seen as irrelevant in the postmodern era. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to provide solutions to leadership failure through the exploration of the Quran and Sunnah. This study utilises the content analysis method to collect data whereby it combines descriptive and analytical approaches. First, the indicators of leadership incompetence are identified. Next, the solutions to these issues are analysed based on the Quran and Prophetic Sunnah. The result demonstrates that the Quran and Sunnah provide the best solution in solving leadership failure. Moreover, the divine revelations provide guidance to be a good leader for society so that a strong community will be built. The article unfolds five solutions, namely self-assessment before becoming a leader, selection of a strong and highly moral/ virtuous individual as a leader, fair distribution of wealth and opportunities, implementation of a just retribution system, and providing equal rights to different levels of people. Hence, the study is significant in emphasising the roles of revelation that should not be abandoned due to the timeless characteristics of the Quran and Sunnah.

Rooted in place: Regional innovation, assets, and the politics of electric vehicle leadership in California, Norway, and Québec

In the media, Norway, California, and Québec are widely acknowledged as innovative leaders in transportation electrification. Yet, what does leadership mean and how did these jurisdictions achieve it? We contend that leadership reflects both intentional forethought through early, experimental and innovative policy to promote electric vehicles and the on-the-ground successful outcomes of these policies. All three jurisdictions have embarked on different leadership paths. We argue that these differences are a function of how electromobility policy entrepreneurs engaged unique pre-existing local assets and activated similar political mechanisms of normalization, coalition building and capacity building. When policy actors harness mutually reinforcing political and industrial dynamics, electric vehicle policies can scale up. Eventually, these dynamics may lead to new industrial path development and the decarbonization of the transportation sector.

Intension, Current Implementation and Improvement Path of Instructional Leadership: A school Case of Hong Kong

This paper aims to analyze the implementation status of instructional leadership of a HK primary school that benefits in mid-ranking and mainly uses instructional leadership to develop their curriculums. Instructional leadership is the result of introducing leadership concepts into the teaching field, and it reflects the changing trend of school management to a certain extent. At present, the research on instructional leadership is limited to the principal's leadership, which limits the overall function of instructional leadership. By investigating the actuality of school and the implementation of school policies and programs, the paper deeply analyzes the existed problems in a Hong Kong school and offers optimization suggestions: strengthen the school distributive leadership construction, promote the professional development of teachers and curriculums, establish a diversified evaluation system, develop an organizational culture of democratic cooperation and improve the curriculum leadership of principals.

Research on the Influence Mechanism of Dual Leadership on the Constructive Deviant Behavior of the New Generation of Employees-The Chain Mediating Effect of Promoting Regulatory Focus and Role Width Self-Efficacy.

Under the background of innovation to win, employees’ constructive deviant behavior has become an important way for organizations to break through the bottleneck of change and realize transformation and upgrading. At present, it has become the focus of academic and practical circles. Based on cognitive evaluation theory and social cognitive theory, this study explores the impact mechanism of dual leadership on employees’ constructive deviant behavior. Using hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap method, this article empirically tests the questionnaire data of 333 new generation employees. It is found that dual leadership has a significant positive impact on constructive deviant behavior; role width, self-efficacy, and promoting regulatory focus play a complete intermediary role between dual leadership and constructive deviant behavior. Promoting regulatory focus and role width self-efficacy play a chain intermediary role in the action path of dual leadership on constructive deviant behavior. The research results enrich the theoretical framework of employees’ constructive deviant behavior from the perspective of leadership style, and provide a practical reference for leaders to effectively guide employees to make constructive deviant behavior.

When and how does ambidextrous leadership influences voice? The roles of leader-subordinate gender similarity and employee emotional expression

In recent years, employee voice has become a popular topic in organizational behavior research. However, existing research has failed to explore when and how ambidextrous leadership influences voice. Adopting leader–member exchange theory and person–environment fit theory, we constructed a moderated mediation model and analyzed the influential path and boundary of ambidextrous leadership on employee voice on the basis of gender similarity between leaders and subordinates. To test our conceptual model, we collected sample in three phases at a monthly interval from multiple employees and their direct leaders from China. Drawing on a paired questionnaire survey of 43 leaders and 182 subordinates, we tested our conceptual model by using polynomial regression analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrapping methods. Results reveal that (1) ambidextrous leadership has a positive effect on employee voice; (2) employee emotional expression plays a mediating role in the relationship between ambidextrous leadership and voice; (3) when the gender between leaders and subordinates is different, the mediating effect of emotional expression is strong. Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/09585192.2021.1991433 .

Kepemimpinan Bupati Abdul Hadi di Kabupaten Jember Tahun 1968-1979

This study discusses the leadership of Regent Abdul Hadi in Jember Regency in 1968-1979. With the aim of knowing how Abdul Hadi's leadership was for two periods. This writing uses psychology to help provide an overview of the influence of individuals on the form and course of leadership. Leadership theory is used to analyze Abdul Hadi's form of leadership. This study employed a historical method consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Before becoming regent, he had a military background that influenced his leadership path. Abdul Hadi was elected Regent of Jember Regency by acclamation in 1968 when he served as Dandim 0824 Jember. The results showed that Abdul Hadi's paternalistic leadership style was used for two periods in regional development, this style was fatherly who always guided his subordinates. A friendly attitude and good communication between leaders and the community encouraged the development programs to be easier to implement. For example, in the construction of the Jami' Al Baitul Amien Mosque in Jember, the plan to build this mosque came from Abdul Hadi's desire to have a mosque that could accommodate the community for the next 5 years, but the funds at that time were insufficient. To overcome this, Abdul Hadi issued a policy to invite the whole community to work together in development, until in 1976 this development was completed. Another example of major development is the construction of the Gajah Mada to Kaliwates double way road. This development also involved the community in it, from joint discussions to the voluntary eviction of community houses. With the developments that have been carried out, Jember Regency has obtained facilities and better quality of life of the community

Verifying the Structural Model of Taekwondo Master’s Leadership, Instructor Trust, Exercise Satisfaction, and Royalty

The purpose of this study was to verify the structural model of Taekwondo master’s leadership, instructor trust, exercise satisfaction, and royalty. The data were collected by 305 Taekwondo students located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were derived using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and structural equation model analysis. As a result, first model, the path of leadership to training satisfaction and the path of instructor trust to loyalty were not statistically significant. Thus, we presented a second model. As a result, the second model showed that all four paths were statistically significant and selected as the final model. First, master’s leadership had a positive effect on instructor trust. Second, instructor trust had a postive effect on satisfaction. Third, instructor trust had a postive effect on royalty. Finally, satisfaction had a positive effect on royaly. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the master s attitude toward students is ultimately important to students trust, satisfaction, and loyalty.
