Book excerpt: U.S. public institutions of higher education are unique work environments that employ millions of faculty, staff, and administrators. Reported research on human resource issues for non-academic employees within higher education, however, is scarce. Given that staff who work in higher education are increasingly being asked to perform at higher levels with equal or fewer resources, research is needed as to how these outcomes can be achieved. The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent non-academic middle manager participative and supportive leadership behaviors are related to employee perceptions of meaningful work (conceptualized as growth satisfaction, empowerment, person-job fit, and affiliation commitment) and to employee learning goal orientation, organizational citizenship behavior, and intention to turnover. A population of 4,235 employees within a large public institution of higher education in the southwestern part of the United States was asked to participate in an online survey. The survey was comprised of items from eight validated instruments with 45 items and additional demographic information. Respondents totaled 1,333 (31.5%). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Cronbach̕ s alpha coefficient for reliability, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling techniques. Results of the study led to revisions of the initially proposed constructs via exploratory factor analysis, giving rise to seven constructs: Cooperative Leader Behavior, Work Fulfillment and Identity, Work Influence and Affiliation, Learning Goal Orientation, Personal Industry, Interpersonal Helping, and Intention to Turnover. Evaluation of the structural model for the revised constructs, with one added path, resulted in good fit (chi^2=3246.397 [796]=4.078, p=.000; CFI=.941; TLI=.936; RMSEA .048; SRMR=.051). Cooperative Leader Behavior was significantly and positively related to employee perceptions of Work Fulfillment and Identity (beta=.517, p

Download or read book The Relationship Between Employee Perceptions of Transformational Leadership Behaviors in Their Supervisors and Creativity written by Shivicka Jain and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has demonstrated the importance of workplace creativity and innovation. Enough studies have focused on creativity climate at the aggregate levels, while research on perceptions of creativity climate at the individual level is less frequent. Transformational leadership style has been found to impact the climate and creative thinking of employees, but no studies have focused on the direct relationship between creativity climate and transformational leadership style. To address these gaps, the focus of this study was to examine the direct relationship between employee perceptions of transformational leadership style and creativity climate. A sample of 63 Canadian and U.S. participants working in multinational corporations was collected for this study. Results indicated that employees perceived a significant impact of transformational leadership style on creativity climate, supporting the study’s hypothesis. It also showed that employees felt higher organizational motivation and felt their organization produced higher creative and productive outputs. The findings from this study extend the available literature by focusing on the relationship between transformational leadership style and creativity climate that has yet to be examined through employee perception. The results, implications, and limitations of the findings are further discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dark Side of Organizational Behavior aims to gather all the micro- and meso-level topics about the dark side of organizations that may guide management practitioners, researchers, and students. The history before the modern human civilization is full of multiple types of conflicts, wars, struggles and violence. Modernization project has constructed a desired reality of human being and has somehow concealed the dark side of human interactions. Through this outlook, this book explores the realities of the dark side of organizations and how these realities may have the potential to change previous assumptions about business life. The field of organizational behavior is dominated by the positive aspects of the business life, but conflict, war, struggle, and violence have always been a part of history. It is not possible to isolate organizational participants from negative emotions like hostility, dislike, hate, jealousy, rage and revenge. A manager may devote most of their time to cope with conflicts, deviant behaviors, ambitious individuals, gossips and dysfunctional rivalry among employees. It is evident that negative events and interactions among employees cost more time and energy for a manager than the positive side of organizational life. Therefore, exploring the realities of the dark side of organizations may have the potential to change previous assumptions about business life. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of organizational studies and behavior, human resource management, employment relations, and organizational psychology.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhancing employees' performance has always been a major concern for leaders and Human Resources (HR) practitioners in public and private sectors. Employees are regarded as the most valuable asset of an organization and the key to growth and development. Moreover, leaders have a significant and essential influence on employees' performance. In this regard, authentic leadership theory is considered a newly emerging and promising theory in the field of leadership. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between employees' perceptions of authentic leadership and positive employees outcomes, such as work engagement and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), in the petroleum industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as to assess the mediating role of psychological empowerment between authentic leadership, work engagement and OCB. The petroleum industry makes a vital contribution to the national and global economy and as such, small changes in the performance of the petroleum industry can have a great impact from both the local and international perspectives. The study is guided by the following general research question: Is there a relationship between authentic leadership, work engagement and OCB among UAE nationals in the petroleum industry, with psychological empowerment as the mediating factor? This relationship is examined using a non-experimental, quantitative approach. A total of 367 UAE nationals working in one of the major petroleum companies in the UAE were selected as survey participants, and 189 employees fully completed the online survey. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of basic demographics and previously validated scales to measure employees' perceptions of authentic leadership, work engagement, OCB, and psychological empowerment. In addition, the collected data were analyzed through several statistical techniques, suh as structural equation modeling (SEM) and statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS). The study assumed that there is a positive relationship between the independent and dependent variables based on the literature review and developed theoretical framework. The findings suggest that first, there is a positive and significant relationship between authentic leadership and positive organization outcomes, namely work engagement and OCB. Second, authentic leadership is positively and significantly related to psychological empowerment. Third, psychological empowerment acts as a mediator between authentic leadership, work engagement and OCB. In summary, authentic leaders in the UAE's petroleum industry have a significant impact on organizational performance as a result of the positive influence of leaders on employee behaviors. Consequently, several practical and theoretical implications of the findings, as well as future research recommendations are discussed.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The effect of leadership behavior on work performance is highly context sensitive. We address this notion by investigating leadership behavior in one important but understudied organizational context--namely, professional service firms (PSFs). We examine how partners' leadership behavior in a PSF relates to employee self-leadership, creative climate, and work performance (N = 442). The results show that partners' consideration leadership behavior is positively related to employees' perceived work performance. Moreover, partners' consideration and intellectual stimulation leadership behavior are especially important drivers of self-leadership and creative climate in a PSF, which in turn are positively related to employees' work performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
