Informed by implicit leadership theories, this study investigates contemporary Chinese employees’ preferences for paternalistic leadership (including three components: moral leadership, benevolent leadership and authoritarian leadership) and transformational leadership. It further examines the relationship between power distance orientation, core self-evaluation (CSE) and leadership preferences. The study finds that contemporary Chinese employees most prefer moral leadership, but are also highly receptive to transformational leadership. They prefer authoritarian leadership least. Moreover, preferences for authoritarian leadership are predicated on followers’ power distance orientation. However, the opposite is true for moral leadership. CSE is positively related to followers’ preference for authoritarian leadership, benevolent leadership and transformational leadership, but not except for moral leadership. A positive interaction effect is found between power distance orientation and CSE with regard to authoritarian leadership preference. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. 相似文献

This research focuses on (a) introducing and exploring ethically effective leadership, (b) introducing and testing theory on triad of typical–maximal–ideal ethically effective leadership performances, (b) theorizing and empirically testing that each of typical–maximal–ideal ethically effective leadership performance is different from each others, in other words exploring mean differences between each pair of typical–maximal–ideal effective leadership performances, (c) introducing, theorizing, and testing mechanism to quantify respondents’ intrinsic desire and inherent potential to enhance their ethically effective leadership performances, (d) exploring precedents of each of typical–maximal–ideal ethically effective leadership performances, and finally (e) exploring bases and feasibility of virtual, robotic, and mixed reality ethically effective leadership that may or may not be same as conventional ethically effective leadership. This paper explores global leadership aspect of ethically effective leadership performance at three data collection levels (via typical, maximal, and ideal effective leadership performances) adding precision to assessment of ethically effective leadership and resolving an important challenge (precise assessment) to ethical leadership development. It explores respondents’ typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T, their maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M, and their ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I. It presents non-western perspectives on ethically effective leadership disregarding homogenization of leadership behavior. It advances our insight into ethical leadership development by empirically identifying presence, direction and magnitude of respondents’ (a) intrinsic desire and (b) existing intrinsic potential for alteration of their ethically effective leadership. Means of typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T, maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M, and ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I are distinct. Typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T is positively associated with maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M and ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I. This article concludes that the selected leaders report their ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I to be higher than their typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T and maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M depicting significant intrinsic desire for 14 % enhancing their ethically effective leadership performance. Respondents have significant existing intrinsic potential for 10 % enhancing their ethically effective leadership performance. Regression constants for regression models for typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T, maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M and ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I are significant depicting that the researchers have to look for other variables to fully explain variance in typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T, maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M and ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I. Regression coefficient of typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T is significant in model for ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I as well as maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M and vice versa. So, the paper suggests that training strategies may be feasible to alter typical ethically effective leadership performance E_T and maximal ethically effective leadership performance E_M in such a way as to bring it closer to ideal ethically effective leadership performance E_I but for this, researchers have to look for other variables too. 相似文献

In the context of a crisis of confidence in executive leadership in corporate America, this paper examines the role of integrity as a mediator within strategic leadership and its impact on credibility in reputational capital. A tension can occur within strategic leadership between the elements of strategic planning and leadership vision. This tension can destroy the credibility of reputational capital unless strategic leadership is managed effectively. Integrity can be used as the glue providing for credible leadership vision amid a strategic perspective oriented to competitive pressures, thereby enabling strategic leadership to contribute to a sustainable competitive advantage. A strategic leadership audit is presented as a tool by which strategic leadership and reputational capital can be managed. 相似文献

Research on the normative aspect of leadership is still a relatively new enterprise within the mainstream of leadership studies. In the past, most academic inquiry into leadership was grounded in a social scientific paradigm that largely ignored the ethical substance of leadership. However, perhaps because of a number of public and infamous cases of failure in business leadership, in recent years there has been renewed interest in the ethical side of leadership in business. This paper argues that ethical issues of leadership actually arise at number of different levels, and that it is important to distinguish between various diverse kinds of ethical issues that arise in the study of leadership. The three levels identified are the level of the individual morality of leaders, the level of the means of their leadership, and the level of the leadership mission itself. We argue that only by fully understanding all of the different levels of ethical analysis pertinent to business leadership, and the distinctive kind of issues that arise at each level, can we fully integrate normative studies of leadership into the field of leadership studies. As such, this paper offers a model that incorporates three different levels of ethical analysis that can be used to study normative issues in leadership studies. Such a model can be used to better understand and integrate ethical issues into research, teaching, and training in leadership. 相似文献

The ongoing cynicism about leaders and organizations calls for a new standard of ethical leadership that we have labeled ??transformative leadership.?? This new leadership model integrates ethically-based features of six other well-regarded leadership perspectives and combines key normative and instrumental elements of each of those six perspectives. Transformative leadership honors the governance obligations of leaders by demonstrating a commitment to the welfare of all stakeholders and by seeking to optimize long-term wealth creation. Citing the scholarly literature about leadership theory, we identify key elements of the six leadership perspectives that make up transformative leadership, suggest leaders who exemplify each perspective, describe the ethical foundations and message of each perspective, and offer ten propositions that scholars and practitioners can use to test the dimensions of this new transformative leadership model. 相似文献

In this paper, we assess two alternative indicators of opinion leadership, self-reported opinion leadership and degree centrality, on the same dataset. We also investigate the interaction effect of these two indicators and the social network environment on opinion leadership. We use social network and survey data from the mobile telecom industry to analyze opinion leadership in smartphone adoption. We find that degree centrality indicates opinion leadership, but that self-reported opinion leadership indicates opinion leadership only under the right social circumstances. In case of weak to moderate network ties, the effect of self-reported opinion leadership is not significant. However, self-reported opinion leaders more effectively influence their strong ties. This study sheds light on indicators of opinion leadership and provides insights for managers to improve their social marketing campaigns. 相似文献

Responsible Leadership in Global Business: A New Approach to Leadership and Its Multi-Level Outcomes
The article advances an understanding of responsible leadership in global business and offers an agenda for future research
in this field. Our conceptualization of responsible leadership draws on deliberative practices and discursive conflict resolution,
combining the macro-view of the business firm as a political actor with the micro-view of leadership. We discuss the concept
in relation to existing research in leadership. Further, we propose a new model of responsible leadership that shows how such
an understanding of leadership can address the challenges of globalization. We thereby propose positive outcomes of responsible
leadership across levels of analysis. The model offers research opportunities for responsible leadership in global business. 相似文献

When should a leader be directive or empowering? How to develop your own situational theory of leadership 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A situational theory of leadership attempts to match a particular leadership style or type to specific external circumstances. The general idea is that one type of leadership will be effective in one situation, but a different type of leadership will be effective in another situation. Historically, situational theories of leadership have been too abstract to apply to specific situations. Nevertheless, the concept of situational leadership retains considerable intuitive appeal. In this article we draw on our previous research about situational leadership during resuscitation in a trauma center, in order to derive a general strategy of how a leader can best develop his or her own personal theory of leadership which best works for their unique circumstances. The core of the strategic approach involves: (1) defining goals for a specific situation, (2) defining potential leadership types, (3) identifying situational conditions, (4) matching a leadership style to the particular situation, and (5) determining how the match between leadership style and situation will be made. The medical trauma center we profile provided an interesting example of how leaders considered elements of the situation to guide their own leadership. 相似文献

The majority of leadership studies have centered on various leadership approaches, but there is limited research that has focused on seasonal employee leadership (SEL) in the hospitality literature. Hence, there is a need to develop a new leadership model which could help to understand how to retain seasonal employees in the hospitality industry. This study divided seasonal employees into three types by using semi-structured interviews and document analysis. These are suspended employees (Type-A), seasonal trainee (Type-B), and spoon-feeding employees (Type-C). Three different leadership styles were developed according to each type of seasonal employees; suspending leadership for type A, mentor leadership for type B, and spoon-feeding leadership for type C. The study makes an important contribution to the leadership literature by aligning employee types with different leadership styles in the hospitality industry. 相似文献

Responsible leadership is rare. It is not that most leaders are irresponsible, but responsibility in leadership is frequently defined so that an important connotation of responsible leadership is ignored. This article equates responsible leadership with virtuousness. Using this connotation implies that responsible leadership is based on three assumptions—eudaemonism, inherent value, and amplification. Secondarily, this connotation produces two important outcomes—a fixed point for coping with change, and benefits for constituencies who may never be affected otherwise. The meaning and advantages of responsible leadership as virtuous leadership are discussed. 相似文献

This research investigates the interplay between leadership styles and institutional corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. A large-scale field survey of managers reveals that firms with greater transformational leadership are more likely to engage in institutional CSR practices, whereas transactional leadership is not associated with such practices. Furthermore, stakeholder-oriented marketing reinforces the positive link between transformational leadership and institutional CSR practices. Finally, transactional leadership enhances, whereas transformational leadership diminishes, the positive relationship between institutional CSR practices and organizational outcomes. This research highlights the differential roles that transformational and transactional leadership styles play for a firm’s institutional CSR practices and has significant implications for theory and practice. 相似文献

Predicting effectiveness in global leadership activities 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Given the importance of effective global leadership, both academics and practitioners alike have become increasingly interested in ways to develop successful global business leaders. This study of over two hundred global leaders found that high contact cross-cultural leadership development experiences and the leaders’ personality characteristics were predictors of effectiveness in global leadership activities. Testing hypotheses based on social learning theory and the contact hypothesis, extroversion is found to moderate the relationship between high contact cross-cultural leadership development experiences and effectiveness on global leadership activities: Highly extroverted leaders with a greater number of high contact cross-cultural leadership development experiences are the most effective on global leadership activities. 相似文献

Servant leadership is anchored in the human drive to bond with others and contribute to the betterment of the society. An emphasis on service motivation, as demonstrated by empowering and developing people with empathy and humility, differentiates servant leadership from other leadership frameworks. In this study, we analyzed the degree to which five aspects of servant leadership, Egalitarianism, Moral Integrity, Empowering, Empathy and Humility were endorsed as important for effective leadership across cultures. While each of these dimensions was found to be associated with effective leadership, there was considerable variation in degree of endorsement of components of servant leadership across different GLOBE culture clusters. The dimensions of Egalitarianism and Empowering were endorsed more strongly in Nordic/European cultures but less so in Asian and similar cultures. On the other hand, servant leadership dimensions of Empathy and Humility were more strongly endorsed in Asian cultures than European cultures. Further, significant relationships were found between several societal cultural values and aspects of servant leadership which help us understand why nations differ in endorsing this leadership construct. 相似文献

Confucian ethics play a pivotal role in guiding Chinese thinking and behaviour. Aesthetic leadership is emerging as a promising
paradigm in leadership studies. This study investigates the practice of aesthetic leadership in Chinese organizations on the
basis of Chinese philosophical foundations. We adopt a process perspective to access the aesthetic constellation of meanings
present in the Chinese understanding of leadership, linking normative Confucian values to a pragmatic value rational world
view, that rests on an ontology of vaguely defined norms that are malleable to different cultural contexts. Value rational
pragmatism is explored in order to develop a deeper understanding of normative aesthetic leadership in China and to contrast
it to instrumental aesthetic leadership. We empirically demonstrate the contextual specificity of aesthetic leadership in
eight Chinese private- and state-owned enterprises (POEs and SOEs) through qualitative case studies. The findings provide
a deeper insight into Chinese aesthetic leadership by proposing a dynamic leadership approach, from both ethical and instrumental
perspectives, in the Chinese context. 相似文献

Leadership which lacks ethical conduct can be dangerous, destructive, and even toxic. Ethical leadership, though well discussed
in the literature, has been tested empirically as a construct in very few studies. An empirical investigation of ethical leadership
in Singapore’s construction industry is reported. It is found that ethical leadership is positively and significantly associated
with transformational leadership, transformational culture of organization, contingent reward dimension of transactional leadership,
leader effectiveness, employee willingness to put in extra effort, and employee satisfaction with the leader. However, it
is also found that ethical leadership bears no correlations with transactional leadership. Also, it is negatively correlated
with laissez-faire leadership and transactional culture of the organization. The findings also reveal that ethical leadership
plays a mediating role in the relationship between employee outcomes and organizational culture. Practical implications of
these findings are discussed. Directions for future research are also suggested. 相似文献

ABSTRACTMany management and leadership studies have traditionally been dominated by Western theories, perspectives and cases. Non-Western leadership requires additional caveats in arriving at generalizations. The theoretical trap of conceiving Asian corporations either as irrelevant concerning leadership effectiveness or as maintaining only culturally determined leadership derives from the lack of historical understanding of Asian cases. Our collection used both historical and contemporary cases of Japan, South Korea and China to show that these Asian economies have tried to some extent balance their traditional norms and values of leadership with those from the West. A key to understanding Asia is that all three countries have historically pursued leadership mandates in running both public and private corporations, although ‘corrupt’ leadership practices were also rampant during different historical periods. Further studies of leadership in non-Western cases are necessary to devise methodological and theoretical alternatives to Western-centric perspectives. In our collection, we analysed how a dynamic and evolutionary view of leadership fared in its attempt to clarify some of the conundrums surrounding East Asian leadership. From our results, it is indicated that historical and comparative methods must accompany any analysis of leadership. 相似文献

Several leadership and ethics scholars suggest that the transformational leadership process is predicated on a divergent set
of ethical values compared to transactional leadership. Theoretical accounts declare that deontological ethics should be associated
with transformational leadership while transactional leadership is likely related to teleological ethics. However, very little
empirical research supports these claims. Furthermore, despite calls for increasing attention as to how leaders influence
their followers’ perceptions of the importance of ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) for organizational effectiveness,
no empirical study to date has assessed the comparative impact of transformational and transactional leadership styles on
follower CSR attitudes. Data from 122 organizational leaders and 458 of their followers indicated that leader deontological
ethical values (altruism, universal rights, Kantian principles, etc.) were strongly associated with follower ratings of transformational
leadership, while leader teleological ethical values (utilitarianism) were related to follower ratings of transactional leadership.
As predicted, only transformational leadership was associated with follower beliefs in the stakeholder view of CSR. Implications
for the study and practice of ethical leadership, future research directions, and management education are discussed. 相似文献

The study of ethical leadership has emerged as an important topic for understanding the effects of leadership in organizations.
In a study with 845 working adults across multiple organizations, the relationships between ethical leadership with positive
employee outcomes were examined. Results suggest that ethical leadership is related to both psychological well-being and job
satisfaction in employees, but the processes are different. Employee voice mediated the relationship between ethical leadership
and psychological well-being. Feelings of psychological ownership mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and
job satisfaction. A discussion of theoretical and practical implications concludes the article. 相似文献
