Book Leadership and Organizational Outcomes

Download or read book Leadership and Organizational Outcomes written by Engin Karadağ and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of leadership on organizational outcomes and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret leadership literature and suggest new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the editors compile various studies examining the relationship between the leadership and thirteen organizational outcomes separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

Book Management and the Worker

Download or read book Management and the Worker written by William J. Dickson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the official account of the experiments carried out at the Hawthorne Works of the Eastern Electric Company in Chicago. These were divided into test room studies, interviewing studies and observational studies. The test room studies were experiments into what variables in a workplace environment might affect worker fatigue. The findings of these tests led to extensive interviewing on the attitudes of the workers. The final phase of the Hawthorne experiment focused on social factors, using techniques of cultural anthropology to observe small working groups. The results of these experiments profoundly influenced the Human Relations movement.

Book Exploring the Relationship Between Transformational Leadership and the Effects on Employee Job Satisfaction in the COVID 19 Pandemic Era

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Transformational Leadership and the Effects on Employee Job Satisfaction in the COVID 19 Pandemic Era written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the ways organizations function. Social distancing has altered the ways organizations traditionally operated and caused significant challenges for employees, leading to employee turnover. Employee turnover is important to address because high attrition can extensively affect companies, directly and indirectly, resulting in increased hiring, training cost, lost production, reduced profits, and overall lower employee morale. Grounded in Bass’s model of transformation leadership, the purpose of this mixed-methods grounded theory study using an integration of quantitative and qualitative research was to explore the existence of an association between transformational leadership and employee job satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic era in a local government organization in Washington state. There were six research questions that directed the study around the dimensions of transformational leadership. Through a purposeful sampling technique, 20 employees from a division in this government organization participated in this study. Data were collected through two surveys in Survey Monkey, which were transferred to SPSS, and through open-ended interviews, done through Zoom Video Communications Inc., transcribed, and transferred to NVivo software for data analysis and interpretation. Seven themes emerged from the analysis: support, communication, leadership, telework, empowerment, safety, and trust. The study was also triangulated, which demonstrated the study’s validity between the quantitative and qualitative data. The general results of this study showed a statistically significant association between transformational leadership and employee satisfaction. While the literature review and data analysis present a convincing case for transformational leadership and employee satisfaction in general, elements of intellectual stimulation and idealized influence (behaviors) were not significant. This indicated that not all the dimensions of transformational leadership correlated with improving employee job satisfaction which appears to be an anomaly of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Book The Relationship of Perceived Servant Leadership and Job Satisfaction from the Follower s Perspective

Download or read book The Relationship of Perceived Servant Leadership and Job Satisfaction from the Follower s Perspective written by Sherri C. Hebert and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine the relationship between employees' perceptions of servant leadership characteristics in their organizations and their level of personal job satisfaction. The perception of servant leadership was measured using the Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) developed by Dr. James Laub. This study measured job satisfaction on two levels: overall job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction. The Mohrman-Cooke-Mohrman Job Satisfaction Scale (MCMJSS) was used to measure overall job satisfaction, and sections from both tools were combined to measure intrinsic job satisfaction. The participants' responses were further examined against demographic variables of gender, education level, age, level in the organization, and employment sector. Twelve organizations from both public and private sectors participated in this study. The study results indicated a significant relationship between perceptions of servant leadership and overall and intrinsic job satisfaction.

Book The Influence of Perceived Constructive and Destructive Leadership on Employee Well being and Ill being  the Mediating Role of Self conscious Emotions

Download or read book The Influence of Perceived Constructive and Destructive Leadership on Employee Well being and Ill being the Mediating Role of Self conscious Emotions written by Ashley O'Donoghue and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the influence of experienced leadership (i.e. transformational, abusive) on positive and negative follower well-being (i.e. job satisfaction, engagement, workaholism, burnout) and the mediating role of follower affect and the self-conscious emotions shame, guilt, and pride. Data used in this study was collected from two diverse studies, with Study 1 having obtained data from a Japanese multi-national firm (n=183), and Study 2 including data from an Irish local government emergency response organisation (n=237). The findings from my analysis showed that, as predicted, follower perceptions of transformational leadership positively and significantly predicted follower well-being outcomes of job satisfaction and engagement, and negatively predicted the follower ill-being outcome of burnout in both studies. The predicted negative relationship between perceived abusive supervision and follower job satisfaction and engagement was supported in Study 2, while the positive influence of abusive supervision on follower ill-being outcomes of workaholism and burnout was supported in both studies. Follower perceptions of a constructive or destructive leadership style had broadly the same relationship with follower positive and negative emotions in both studies. The research further confirmed follower emotions of pride and positive and negative affect (PANA) as emotional pathways through which constructive and destructive leaders influence follower well-being (i.e. engagement) and ill-being (i.e. workaholism-working compulsively and burnout) in Study 1. The research findings make three distinct contributions to the leadership and well-being literatures. Firstly, the research confirms the role of diverse leadership styles in influencing follower well-being and ill-being outcomes, thereby addressing calls to help understand 'when, how, and what kinds of leadership behaviours influence engagement' and well-being outcomes (Bakker, Albrecht & Leiter, 2011, p.14; Wu & Hu, 2009). Secondly, the research responds to calls for future leadership research to broaden the measurement criteria to enable us to understand how leaders and leadership are related to emotional constructs (Dasborough, Ashkanasy, Tee, & Herman, 2009; Hiller, DeChurch, Murase, & Doty, 2011) and to calls to identify the pathways through which leadership influences follower well-being and ill-being (Hansbrough, Lord, & Schyns, 2015; Skakon et al., 2010). Thirdly, the findings in both studies identify when leaders influence follower well-being and ill-being through the pathways of follower emotions. The research findings establish the important role of the leader in follower well-being (job satisfaction, engagement) and ill-being (workaholism, burnout), and identify the leader as positively or negatively influencing follower positive and negative emotions across both studies. The hypothesised mediating effects of follower emotions between perceived leadership style and well-being and ill-being outcomes was found only in Study 1. This highlights the need for future research to consider the role of the work environment when measuring the antecedents of well-being and ill-being at work. Overall, the research findings identify the important role of the leader in influencing follower emotions and well-being and ill-being at work and establish the abusive leader as a job demand placing emotional demands on the follower, and the transformational leader as a job resource, uplifting and supporting the follower with implications for theory and practice. Keywords: abusive supervision, transformational leadership, affect, shame, guilt, pride, employee well-being, job satisfaction, engagement, workaholism, burnout.
