Punjab Police: Leadership Styles and Burnout in Bahawalpur District

The present study investigates how leadership styles can lead to burnout and organizational engagement via sample of 100 officers from the executive arm of the Punjab Police Department. A random sampling method was used based on primary sources. The required information was obtained from Bahawalpur District police. Data analysis for this research is done using correlation and multiple linear regression, while Cronbach's alpha is used to evaluate the survey instrument's reliability. Additionally, the regression results show that there is no considerable and instantaneous effect of transformational leadership on job burnout. In addition, transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles significantly lead to job burnout. In the Punjab Police Agency, its leadership applies transactional and laissez-faire approaches which results rise in turnover levels year after year within the organization. Given the results, senior management should therefore consider and implement guidelines that encourage revolutionary approaches towards managing people in leadership to minimize burnout.

Mitigating Workplace Burnout Through Transformational Leadership and Employee Participation in Recovery Experiences.

Description Burnout is a complex organizational phenomenon that diminishes employee well-being and overall organizational productivity. Researchers propose that leadership style contributes to employees' well-being, which impacts employee productivity. Organizations and leaders must address the causes of burnout and promote techniques employees can use to mitigate burnout, such as employee participation in recovery experiences. Recovery experiences are non-work activities that create positive outlooks and restore the energy needed to focus on one's work. This literature review examines current research in employee recovery experiences, conservation of resource theory (COR), burnout, and transformational leadership theory. Studying burnout through the lens of COR shows how important resource gain and recovery activities are to healthy employees and their job performance within the organization. The research reviewed suggests that transformational and transactional leadership styles have higher probabilities of promoting employee participation in recovery experiences than passive avoidant leadership style. The literature consistently showed burnout as a significant organizational phenomenon negatively affecting productivity, employee well-being, and turnover rates. The literature revealed that mitigating burnout happens through participation in recovery experiences. The literature on leadership styles supports the assumption that leaders play a significant role in employee well-being, group identity, and organizational climate. Leaders who desire to mitigate employee burnout will benefit from research that links transformational leadership style behaviors and employee participation in recovery activities.

Leadership Styles Transform Productivity through Organizational Culture in Indonesia

This study explores the impact of transformational and transactional leadership styles on employee productivity through organizational culture at IKM Culinary Kebab. Using a sample of 68 employees and statistical analysis via SPSS 20, the research found that transformational leadership directly enhances productivity, while its influence on organizational culture is insignificant. Conversely, transactional leadership significantly shapes organizational culture but does not directly affect productivity. Both leadership styles indirectly boost productivity through a strong organizational culture. These insights highlight the importance of fostering an effective organizational culture to maximize the benefits of different leadership styles in small-scale culinary businesses. Highlights: 1. Transformational leadership directly enhances employee productivity.2. Transactional leadership significantly influences organizational culture.3. Organizational culture mediates leadership styles' impact on productivity. Keywords: Transformational leadership, Transactional leadership, Employee productivity, Organizational culture, IKM Culinary Kebab

Effects of Length of Employment and Head Nurse Leadership Style on the Clinical Competency of Staff Nurses in Taiwan.

High-quality patient care requires nurses with strong clinical competency. Thus, it is essential to examine the factors associated with clinical competency. This study was designed to (a) investigate head nurse leadership, staff nurse demographics, and clinical competency; (b) examine the impact of demographics on the clinical competency of staff nurses; (c) analyze the correlation between head nurse leadership and staff nurse clinical competency; and (d) examine the effects of demographics on clinical competency after controlling for the head nurse leadership. A cluster sampling method was used to collect data from 200 staff nurses at a national medical center in Taiwan. Questionnaires were used to gather information on head nurse leadership style and staff nurse clinical competency. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted, including Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, and multivariate analysis of covariance. The average score for transformational leadership style among the head nurses was 2.89, whereas transactional leadership style scored an average of 2.49. The average scores for the components of clinical competency, listed from highest to lowest, were as follows: patient care (3.35), professionalism (3.28), communication skills (3.18), management (2.84), and knowledge (2.73). In addition, statistically significant differences were found in clinical competency based on demographic factors, including age, marital status, educational level, job title, and length of employment. Also, a statistically significant, positive correlation between the head nurse transformational leadership style and nurse clinical competency was found. The main effect of length of employment on the five competency components was statistically significant after controlling for transformational leadership. Furthermore, post hoc analysis of covariance revealed a significant effect of length of employment on patient care, knowledge, communication skills, and management. The findings of this study indicate transformational leadership and employment length impact the clinical competency of staff nurses, particularly in terms of patient care, communication skills, management, and knowledge. Providing education and training in leadership and management to current and prospective head nurses may be expected to enhance clinical competency in staff nurses and create a more nurturing work environment. Moreover, targeted training may help current head nurses gain insight into their leadership styles and acquire skills to promote transformational leadership. In addition, leadership development may help equip prospective head nurses with critical competencies before assuming leadership responsibilities.

OCB Saints and OCB Sinners in Schools: Effects of Principals’ Leadership Styles on Teachers’ Motivation by OCB Levels

Purpose This study investigated the relationships between leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and passive) and teachers’ autonomous motivation (intrinsic and identified) in teachers with high and low levels of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Design/Approach/Methods In a sample of 651 teachers from Israeli schools, several groups were identified: 107 teachers with the highest OCB scores (saints), 104 teachers with the lowest OCB scores (sinners), and 440 teachers with OCB scores in the middle range. Findings Regression analysis indicated that the intrinsic motivation of OCB saints was significantly predicted by passive leadership style, whereas that of the OCB norm by transformational leadership style. The analysis further indicated that the identified motivation of OCB sinners was significantly predicted by transactional leadership style, whereas that of the OCB norm by transformational leadership style. Originality/Value The results challenge the assumption of a one-size-fits-all approach to “effective” principals’ leadership styles and suggest that to cultivate teachers’ autonomous motivation they should be treated differently in leadership efforts. The implications of the study may be useful in improving school effectiveness and designing training programs for school leaders to enhance their leadership skills.

Leadership Styles, Emotional Intelligence and Personality Traits of Muslim Women Academic Heads of the Mindanao State University and their Correlation with Organizational Performance

The study identified the leadership style, emotional intelligence and personality traits of the Muslim women deans of the Mindanao State University, the biggest state University in Southern Mindanao, and their correlation with organizational performance. The respondents of the study were the faculty members of the four colleges of the University under the leadership of a Muslim woman dean. The study disclosed that the women deans practiced more of transformational than the transactional leadership style. Transformational leadership was the preferred and widely practiced style among these deans, according to nearly all the faculty respondents. In terms of organizational performance, the faculty respondents rated their Muslim women deans as highly effective. Using McKinsey's 7S model, the deans were rated highest in skills, followed by shared values, style, strategy, system, and staff, in descending order. This indicates that the deans excel in various aspects of organizational management. The study also established correlations between these elements based on the data obtained through the use of four standardized questionnaires such as the Bass multi-factor leadership instrument and Mckinsey’s 7S model. Moreover, the study revealed that there is a moderate positive correlation between leadership style and organizational performance, another moderate positive correlation between personality traits and organizational performance, but a low positive correlation between emotional intelligence and organizational performance. This suggests that leadership style and personality traits play a more significant role in influencing organizational performance than emotional intelligence. In conclusion, it can be hypothetically argued that the Muslim women deans under study were more inclined to embrace transformational leadership, emphasizing emotional intelligence and displaying favourable personality traits.

Effect of Leadership Styles on Gen-Z Work Performance: An Empirical Analysis

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between leadership styles and Gen-Z workforce performance. A disproportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select respondents from private secondary schools in Ogun State, Nigeria. Given a sampling frame of 1300 Gen-Z employees, this study adopted Cochran (1977) sample size method to analyse 279 usable questionnaires. The proposed structural model was assessed through established GOF indices. While specified hypotheses were tested using SEM. Findings show that confirmatory factor analysis reduced the measurement model to 20 items. In addition, the structural model showed GOF indices of χ² / df ratio (438.572 / 166) = 2.642, RMSEA (0.053), TLI (0.901), and CFI (0.907). SEM hypotheses testing revealed that transformational leadership styles do not only have positive path estimates, but also established practical and statistically significant relationship with Gen-Z workforce performance. Contrary to previous research, laissez-faire leadership style was found to be positive and significant with Gen-Z performance. Perhaps, due to the autonomy it accorded Gen-Z cohort to handle tasks without interference. This style makes Gen-Z feel respected and empowered. However, transactional leadership style reported a different outcome. Transactional leadership style was found to be positive, but its path estimate was not practical and statistically significant (β = 0.07, p = 0.120) with Gen-Z work performance. Hence two out of three specified hypotheses were accepted. This paper has it contributions. By implication, its outcome addressed some equivocal issues in leadership literature. Theoretically, it extends body of knowledge on empirical linkage between leadership styles and the digital natives (Gen-Z). Also, the paper impliedly suggests to CEOs / HR / management experts on formulating and implementing policies that will motivate, inspire, and retain Gen-Z in their organisations. Practically, the established relationship between laissez-faire leadership style and Gen-Z cohort suggests that Gen-Z can practically come on board with their ideas and work as ally with their leaders towards achieving the overall organizational goals. There are limitations which may have biased the outcome of this study. Hence, potential areas for further studies have been highlighted.

Transactional Leadership Style and the Effectiveness of Public Participation in the County Governance in Kenya

An effective system of governing is crucial for advancing both social and economic development, with a focus on promoting openness, accountability, and active involvement of the people. Public participation entails the active involvement of citizens in the process of governance, promoting openness, responsibility, and fair provision of public services. This method facilitates well-informed decision-making and improves governance by ensuring that policies align with the requirements and priorities of the community. To enhance efficacy, numerous governments have transitioned from centralization to decentralization, thereby enabling local governments to include citizens more directly in the process of decision-making. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 incorporated decentralization and public involvement as integral components to enhance governance in Kenya. Nevertheless, despite extant literature suggesting that leadership affects participation, the extent to which various leadership styles impact the effectiveness of public engagement has not been well investigated. This study examines the influence of transactional leadership style on the effectiveness of public participation in the county governance in Kenyan. The components of transactional leadership styles consisted of contingent reward, contingent punishment, Management-by-Exception-active, and Management-by-Exception-passive. The study adopted a positivist philosophy, using scientific methods to explore social phenomena, focusing on objectivity and empirical verification. The research used a quantitative survey design, with questionnaires for data collection. The analysis involved devolved county governments, targeting residents from eight counties, who had engaged in public forums. A sample of 400 respondents was obtained through both probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling methods. The results of the regression analysis indicated that there was a positive relationship between transactional leadership and the effectiveness of public participation. The implementation of active management-by-exception and contingent incentive resulted in a notable increase in public engagement, with active management-by-exception having the most prominent influence. The effects of contingent punishment and passive Management-by-Exception were positive, although they failed to achieve statistical significance. The study recommends county authorities to prioritize active management-by-exception and use reward schemes to enhance public participation. Additionally, it suggested implementation of training programs aimed at transforming executives from passive to proactive management approaches. In addition, proposals were made for policies that support leadership training and civic education to promote public participation. This study enhances the existing theory by empirically demonstrating the relationship between transactional leadership style and the effectiveness of public participation. It also offers a foundation for future research in this area. Subsequent investigations should examine additional variables that impact the efficacy of public participation in county governance, considering cultural and contextual variations.

School Head’s Leadership Style to Beginning Teacher’s Performance in the Schools Division of City of San Jose del Monte

School heads’ unique and different leadership styles have an impact on the performance of their teachers, students, and schools in general (Ahamed, 2020). This study explored the effect of three leadership styles of school heads which are transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire, on the performance of beginning teachers. There are fifty-three (53) beginning teachers from the Schools Division of the City of San Jose del Monte who identified the leadership styles of their school heads and were assessed in terms of their performance as reflected on their Individual Performance and Commitment Rating Form (IPCRF). Results showed that there is a low positive correlation between school head’s leadership styles and beginning teachers’ performance. Furthermore, the study showed that among the three leadership styles, only the transactional leadership style has a significant effect on beginning teachers’ performance. The difference in results may be due to the number of years of beginning teachers in their respective schools and that there is still no strong relationship formed between leaders and teachers. Thus, beginning teachers only rely on certain rewards and punishments based on their work performance (transactional) rather than because of the relational influence of the leaders (transformational).
