Leaders' individualized consideration, team commitment and patient loyalty: The role of social and task‐related contexts

AbstractDrawing from transformational leadership (TFL) theory and research on contextual leadership, we examined a conditional process model of leadership in nursing teams to predict patient loyalty. Using TFL's individualized consideration dimension as a salient facet of the construct in care services, we first posited that nurses' team affective commitment would partially mediate the impact of nurse leadership. We further conceptualized nurse–physician collaboration, organizational formalization and task feedback as discrete contexts that may curb the influence of head nurses' individualized consideration. In a three‐wave, multisource and multilevel study, we surveyed 654 nurses and 1770 patients from 91 hospital units. We found that team‐level head nurses' individualized consideration positively and partially related to patient loyalty through nurses' team commitment and that higher levels of nurse–physician collaboration, organizational formalization and task feedback were associated with reduced influence of individualized consideration on team commitment and patient loyalty. We discuss the implications of these findings for advancing theory and research on TFL and contextual factors of leadership.

Explaining Effects of Transformational Leadership on Teachers’ Cooperative Professional Development through Structural Equation Model and Phantom Model Approach

This study aims to explore strategies for promoting Korean teachers’ cooperative professional development in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). To this end, this study aimed to provide empirical evidence that may help in explaining the mechanism through which transformative leadership affects cooperative professional development. Based on research purposes, the author constructed a serial multiple mediation model that incorporates self-efficacy and attitudes as an underlying mechanism that explains transformational leaders’ positive impact on cooperative professional development related to ESD. A total of 203 valid cases were used to test the hypothesized model. Furthermore, the author constructed structural equation modeling (SEM) and phantom models specifying the specific indirect effects of transformative leadership on cooperative professional development. In addition, bias-corrected bootstrapped point estimates for the specific indirect effects were calculated. The data were analyzed using SPSS Ver. 25.0 and AMOS Ver. 26.0. The findings strongly supported predictive links among transformational leadership, self-efficacy in ESD teachers’ attitudes toward ESD, and cooperative professional development. Therefore, findings provided greater insight into transformational leadership and ESD research and revealed mechanisms through which transformational leadership works in the ESD contexts. Finally, the major findings were discussed to encourage teachers to participate in cooperative professional development.

Can You Always Catch More Flies with Honey than with Vinegar? Applying an Asymmetric Approach to Transformational Leadership Research

This study addresses a shortcoming in the transformational leadership literature (Van Knippenberg & Sitkin The Academy of Management Annals, 7(1), 1-60, 2013) by demonstrating when and how individual transformational leadership components may predict high and low team performance, as well as how these behaviors can combine to achieve certain outcomes. The study also sheds light on how certain team leader’s demographics (i.e., leader sex, age, and tenure) and team context conditions (i.e., team size and job complexity) predict different team performance outcomes via different transformational leadership behaviors. A case-based asymmetric configurational approach and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were used to examine data gathered from 59 teams in the marketing and print services sector. The results identified multiple useful configurations of transformational leadership behaviors and team leader demographics/team context conditions that accurately predict high and, separately, low team performance (i.e., achieving model prediction accuracy odds of 4 to 1 or greater). A predictive validation was also performed on a second sample whereby the highly consistent models for the study’s main sample had high predictive abilities for this second sample. From a practical standpoint, this study suggests that certain configurations of transformational sub-components may work better for some leaders than others (e.g., young female versus male leaders). It also identifies more realistic, authentic, and potentially less costly strategies for predicting high (and avoiding low) levels of team performance in different contexts. Finally, this study contributes to the literature by being a first attempt to apply an asymmetric approach to transformational leadership research.

What makes a leader? Trait emotional intelligence and Dark Tetrad traits predict transformational leadership beyond HEXACO personality factors

Over the past several decades, transformational leadership theory and research have made considerable contributions in addressing factors relevant for leader effectiveness. Trait emotional intelligence (TEI), dark personality traits, and HEXACO personality factors correlate significantly with transformational leadership. However, due to overlap among measures, there remains a need for incremental analysis. This study investigates how TEI and Dark Tetrad traits predict transformational leadership beyond HEXACO personality factors. Participants (195 women, 104 men) between the ages of 17 and 36 years (Mage = 18.44, SD = 1.45) completed self-report measures of transformational leadership, HEXACO personality factors, TEI, and Dark Tetrad traits. Regression analyses revealed that HEXACO personality factors provide significant predictive value for transformational leadership. TEI, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy also accounted for additional variance in transformational leadership scores beyond HEXACO personality factors. This study supports the use of TEI and dark personality traits in addition to HEXACO personality factors when appraising transformational leadership potential. These findings have implications for screening and selection of applicants for leadership positions across a variety of contexts (business, military, education, athletic coaching, etc.).

Therefore, this article aims to classify, identify scientific publications and carry out a thematic analysis of the latest literature to create an extensive and detailed understanding of transformational leadership specifically in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The research method was conducted by using Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) to analyze scientific publications of transformational leadership in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which were generated based on the focus and type of research from time to time. The results of this study produced a categorization and quantification of transformational leadership studies in various dimensions as well as an overview of topics and trends in transformational leadership research in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) today.

Transformational Leadership Research in China (2005–2015)

This article uses evidence from 233 transformational leadership studies in the Chinese language published between 2005 and 2015 to explore the theoretical development and nature of transformational leadership, the effects of moderating and mediating variables, and the antecedent of transformational leadership in China. These studies include 38 theoretical studies, 4 qualitative studies, 183 quantitative studies, and 8 mixed method research studies. This review identifies that further indigenous research in transformational leadership needs to be encouraged, and qualitative and mixed research methods are required to promote development in this regard. Additionally, the scope of antecedents of transformational leadership needs to be expanded in order to further understand the causes of transformational leadership. While the effects of mediators and moderators are mixed, the effects of transformational leadership on the variables at the individual, team, and organizational levels are significant. Research on the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational variables needs to be encouraged in Chinese context in order to further understand this leadership phenomena.

Transformational Leadership and Volunteer Firefighter Engagement

This study explores the relationship between transformational leadership and volunteer firefighter engagement. Using responses from 213 volunteer firefighters, structural equation modeling reveals a positive relationship between transformational leadership and volunteer engagement, which is mediated by both group identification and perceived social impact. In addition, higher volunteer engagement is positively related to a firefighter's intention to continue volunteering and to recruit others. Taken together, the results indicate that transformational leaders achieve positive volunteer outcomes by strengthening the organizational ties of volunteers and by connecting volunteers with the prosocial impact of their work. Theoretical implications for transformational leadership research in volunteer settings as well as practical recommendations for a sustainable volunteer management are provided.

Transformational Leadership and National Culture: A Meta-analysis across 36 Countries

This study extends transformational leadership research by meta- analyzing the role of national culture in moderating relationships between transformational leadership and 20 correlates. Results are based on 374 independent samples from a total of 339 studies (N = 121,783) from 36 countries. We controlled for extreme response bias. Results indicate that: (a) associations of transformational leadership and the behavioral outcomes of OCB, OCBI, OCBO, task performance, group performance and creativity and the attitudinal outcome of organizational commitment are stronger in vertical- collectivist than in horizontal-individualist societies; and (b) national culture does not affect relationships of transformational leadership and most attitudinal outcomes, supporting the general universality of transformational leadership for most attitudinal outcomes. For behavioral outcomes, the results suggest that transformational leadership is more effective in Asian contexts, possibly due to collective interests, acceptance of power distance, and role-based obligations.

Understanding Instructor's Servant Leadership and Transformational Leadership Styles in Relation to Students' Engagement in Higher Learning

Current trend in higher learning instruction is evolving from the traditional lecture method to more engaging methodologies such as service learning, transformational approaches in learning such as active-learning, cooperative learning, dialogue-based learning, dramaturgical teaching methods, and many other innovations which focus on the active engagement of students in the teaching and learning process. In this light, this paper seeks to highlight the efficacy of the instructors' servant leadership and transformational leadership teaching styles to students' engagement in higher learning. To accomplish this endeavor, 1) I share by brief personal experience of the notion of a self-responsible leader as a servant-leader; 2) define a servant-leader in servant leadership and review recent studies on servant leadership; 3) explain dramaturgy in servant leadership; 4) define transformational leadership and review research studies on transformational leadership; 5) explain dramaturgy in transformational leadership, and draw my conclusion on the topic.

Testing a Moderated Mediation Model of Transformational Leadership, Values, and Organization Change

A field study of organizational leaders and their immediate followers was conducted to investigate (a) the mediating roles of follower openness to change values and follower self-transcendence values in linking transformational leadership to follower change resistance and follower extra effort, respectively and (b) the moderating role of organization change magnitude in influencing the mediation effects. Transformational leadership theory postulates that a range of follower attitudinal and performance outcomes are at least partially explained by a leader’s ability to influence followers’ values to support organizational change. Using Preacher, Rucker, and Hayes’s moderated mediation framework, this study extends transformational leadership research by testing a model that explicates the roles of leader behavior, follower values, and a key contextual variable in producing effects on follower attitudinal and performance outcomes. Data from 181 organizational leaders and 723 of their respective followers demonstrated strong support for the moderated mediation model. The conditional indirect effects of transformational leadership on follower change resistance and follower extra effort via follower openness to change and self-transcendence values, respectively, were stronger in work contexts characterized by high organization change magnitude. Implications for theory, future research, and practice are discussed.
