Can leadership compensate for deficient inclusiveness in global virtual teams?

Although the number of global virtual teams has been growing rapidly, it is still a great challenge to achieve internal collaboration across geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers. Two factors that have been identified to improve productivity are inclusive group attitudes in the team and the right leadership from the team leader. Although there are strong indications that each of these concepts would have a favourable effect on team member performance, we set out to explore how they function in combination. More specifically, we hypothesise that inspirational motivation from a team leader can compensate for a lack of inclusive group attitudes in the form of team openness to language diversity. We also predict the positive effects of “inspirational motivation” leadership to be stronger than those of the “management by exception” style of leadership. Using responses from 174 team members and their 23 team leaders in the research and development department of a Danish manufacturing organisation, we confirm our hypotheses. This provides clear guidelines for HRM interventions in organisations using global virtual teams.     

变革型领导和交易型领导理论研究综述

领导方式对企业管理具有重要影响。变革型领导与交易型领导不同的内在维度导致二者在员工工作绩效、员工满意度、组织承诺、组织变革与创新等方面有着不同的作用。多数学者认为变革型领导在各方面较交易型领导都更为优秀,然而部分学者却证明领导方式与企业组织文化的匹配性才是决定组织管理成功与否的重要因素。摒弃对交易型领导的偏见,选择适合的领导方式对企业的发展具有重要的现实意义。     

谦卑与领导有效性：变革型领导的中介作用

谦卑于组织领导中的作用受到了学者们的广泛关注。本文通过对21家企业378名下属的调查问卷探讨了谦卑的领导与领导有效性之间的关系,并探讨了任务导向和关系导向的变革型领导在谦卑与领导有效性之间的中介作用。多元回归结果表明,谦卑能够有效预测变革型领导以及领导有效性,其中,关系导向和任务导向的变革型领导分别在谦卑与领导有效性中起到完全中介和不完全中介作用。     

运用情绪智力提高领导力:文献分析与评价

越来越多的研究表明,情绪智力与有效领导之间存在积极的关系。本文首先介绍了20世纪90年代以后出现的几种主要的情绪智力理论,对近年来西方学者关于情绪智力和领导力关系的研究进行了系统综述,分析了情绪智力与变革型领导、交易型领导、放任型领导之间的关系,讨论了该领域的研究现状和进一步发展的方向。     

组织变革和领导行为匹配：民营企业视角

改革开放,特别是"十五"以来,中国民营经济取得了长足的发展,在不断扩大规模的同时,企业的管理质量也在提高,逐渐摆脱家长式的管理,处在一个过渡的时期。民营企业在其企业生命周期的不同阶段,其人力资源有着不同的特点,按照专有性和价值高低不同,分为四个层次,再结合领导力的匹配和相互作用问题,从魅力型的领导到参与型领导的过渡。本文从人力资源的角度,结合经典激励、动机理论做一个理论推演,在这样一个过程当中,需要变革型领导和交易型领导的综合作用,来推进中国民营企业管理模式和当代世界先进管理方法的接轨。     

基层领导干部领导行为有效性及其作用机制

基于294名基层领导干部的实证调查数据,本文建立结构方程模型进行分析。结果表明：变革型领导行为对下属的工作卷入和部门绩效表现具有显著正向预测作用,工作卷入在变革型领导与部门绩效表现之间具有部分中介作用;消极例外管理交易型领导行为对工作卷入具有显著负向预测作用,工作卷入在消极例外管理和部门绩效表现间具有完全中介作用。分层回归的结果表明：变革型领导在权变奖励对部门绩效表现的预测作用中具有增量效应。结果证明变革型领导的普遍有效性和交易型领导有效性的权变性。     

论变革型领导对员工创造力的影响

员工创造力是企业创新的基础与源泉,它是员工的个性品质、认知能力等内在因素和工作情境因素的特殊综合。在激发员工创造力的过程中,变革型领导通过员工的内在动机、对工作环境特别是对创新支持环境的感知、心理授权等中介变量的作用来影响追随者的创造性。在现实的管理情境中,可以通过对领导者进行变革型领导培训,通过选聘、培训、薪酬等管理方式筛选与培养高创造力的员工。     

Assessing public leadership styles for innovation: a comparison of Copenhagen,Rotterdam and Barcelona

This article explores which leadership qualities public managers regard as important for public innovation. It is based on a survey of 365 senior public managers in Copenhagen, Rotterdam and Barcelona. Five perspectives on leadership were identified and tested using a number of items. Some of these proved to be more robust than others. Analysis of the three cities reveals a nuanced set of leadership styles, which include a transformational style, and one that is more dedicated to motivating employees, risk-taking and including others in decision-making. This suggests the need for more research on leadership and public-sector innovation.     

Do transformational-oriented leadership and transactional-oriented leadership have an impact on whistle-blowing attitudes? A longitudinal examination conducted in US federal agencies

The benefits of effective leadership practices have often been examined. However, little is known about how these practices impact the perceptions of agency employees regarding whistle-blowing. For instance, only two cross-sectional studies were found to examine an association between transformational leadership (the most often studied leadership practice) and whistle-blowing attitudes. To extend these studies, we examined the relationship between transformational-oriented leadership behaviours and whistle-blowing attitudes using panel data. The findings revealed that transformational-oriented leadership increased the extent to which employees in agencies felt they could disclose wrongdoing without facing retaliation. Transactional-oriented leadership was also found to have a positive effect on these whistle-blowing behaviours; however, the effect size was smaller. The implications of these findings are thoroughly discussed in the article.     

Hubristic Start-up Founders – The Neglected Bright and Inevitable Dark Manifestations of Hubristic Leadership in New Venture Creation Processes

The hubris tradition of research has been criticized for limiting its scope by associating hubris predominantly with detrimental leadership behaviours. To counteract this bias, we provide a more nuanced exploration of hubris and consider both beneficial and detrimental manifestations of hubris in start-up founders’ leadership behaviours. Our analysis, based on qualitative data from expert interviews and two case studies, indicates that, whilst hubristic start-up founders are likely to fail overall, they also excel in creating and communicating visionary scenarios, steering employees through critical situations, and extracting commitment from third parties. These under-researched ‘bright’ manifestations of hubris allow start-up founders to lead their venture towards a stage, in which their visionary power and resilience become crucial prerequisites for economic progress. Our findings extend knowledge on hubristic leadership, offer new directions for the hubris tradition of research, and open up avenues for future research with a more balanced view of hubris.     

变革型领导风格、组织即兴与组织创新的关系研究

在当前日益激烈的竞争环境下,创新是一个企业获取核心竞争力的关键因素,而变革型领导风格和组织即兴对组织创新成果产出有着重要的影响。本文在梳理国内外相关文献的基础上探讨了变革型领导风格和组织即兴对组织创新的作用机理与机制。本文采用问卷调查法,选取了我国长三角和珠三角150家科技型中小企业作为实证研究对象,共发放问卷260份,收到有效问卷198份,并采用多元回归分析的方法来分析和定量探讨变革型领导风格和组织即兴对组织创新的影响关系。研究结果表明:总体而言,变革型领导和组织即兴对组织创新具有正向的影响,同时组织即兴在变革型领导与组织创新之间起着部分中介作用。
