This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to overstate the importance of the leader-member exchange relationship. Employees who share a high-quality relationship with their leader are more likely to earn a higher salary, climb the ranks more quickly, and report higher life satisfaction levels than their peers who have a less copasetic leader-member relationship. While Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) research addresses the impact that the leader-member relationship has on the individual employee experience, much of this scholarship overlooks or obscures the vital role that communication plays in the development and maintenance of workgroup relationships. Much of extant literature also glosses over the role that communication plays in workgroup collaboration. Using a communicative lens, this text illustrates the complex theoretical underpinnings of LMX theory, such as the importance of social interaction and relationship building and maintenance necessary to achieve organizational goals. We explore how an employee’s relationship with their leader also shapes their peer relationships and their overall standing within their workgroup. Further, the text examines the potential dark side of LMX theory, such as the tendency towards demographic and trait and state similarity. Employing a communicative perspective emphasizes the extent of position and personal power both leaders and members have in engineering the quality of the relationship they desire. Integrating and applying once disparate lines of academic literature, this book offers employees, students, and teacher-scholars pragmatic yet research-based insights into developing and maintaining successful, healthy workplace relationships.
Download or read book A Study of Emotional Intelligence Leader Member Dyads and Employee Outcomes in the British National Health Service written by Hannah Hesselgreaves and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to develop a model that explained the relationships between emotional intelligence (as a model of individual differences), the quality of hierarchical relationships (utilising leader-member exchange theory), and a selection of employee outcomes, of which stress was of particular interest. This model was tested using a sample of hospital staff within one national health board in Scotland. A cross sectional survey design was chosen. The sample consisted of 122 dyads from five hospitals. Each study variable was measured using previously validated measures. The key independent variables were emotional intelligence, measured using the ECI-2 (Boyatzis, Goleman, & Rhee, 1999) and leader-member exchange, using the LMX-7 (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995). Both were rated by supervisors and employees. The main dependent variables were stress, performance, organisational commitment, and job satisfaction. LMX was also tested for its hypothesised mediating effects on the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress, as was social support. Perceived organisational support, relationship tenure, and liking were control variables, to isolate the effects the key independent variables. Dyadic responses were matched and paired to analyse unique leader-member exchanges. Data were analysed using stepwise regresson analysis, and for the tests of mediation, 6 hierarchical regression analysis was employed. There were several main findings. Emotional intelligence (EI) was found to positively relate to the quality of leader-member exchange, suggesting that emotional intelligence may inform the development and management of hierarchical relationships. Emotional intelligence did not have a direct relationship with stress. EI also predicted performance, but not job satisfaction or organisational commitment. Percieved organisational support explained more variance in these outcomes that emotional intelligence of leader-member exchange quality. Leader-member exchange did influence the way in which stress was experienced, particularly the frequency with which employees felt job pressure. This relationship was non-linear. However, stress severity had a negative linear relationship with LMX, describing that LMX was related to lower stress intensity. LMX was positively related to performance. Finally, a hypothesised interaction between EI and LMX was not supported, suggesting that individual differences did not moderate the extent to which LMX impacted stress outcomes. It is considered that an interaction effect was not found because of the limited range in ratings of emotional intelligence and leader-member exchange. This study responds to an identified gap in the organisational behaviour literature, contributing to the exploration of how leader-member relationships are influenced by notions of individual differences such as emotional intelligence, and how outcomes at individual and organisational levels can be affected, particularly in large public sector organisations.

Book excerpt: This book provides the most thorough view available on this new and intriguing dimension of workplace psychology, which is the basis of fulfilling, productive work. The book begins by defining work engagement, which has been described as ‘an opposite to burnout,’ following its development into a more complex concept with far reaching implications for work-life. The chapters discuss the sources of work engagement, emphasizing the importance of leadership, organizational structures, and human resource management as factors that may operate to either enhance or inhibit employee’s experience of work. The book considers the implications of work engagement for both the individual employee and the organization as a whole. To address readers’ practical questions, the book provides in-depth coverage of interventions that can enhance employees’ work engagement and improve management techniques. Based upon the most up-to-date research by the foremost experts in the world, this volume brings together the best knowledge available on work engagement, and will be of great use to academic researchers, upper level students of work and organizational psychology as well as management consultants.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Leader Member Exchange written by Talya N. Bauer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leader-member exchange (LMX) is the foremost dyadic theory in the leadership literature. Whereas contemporary leadership theories such as transformational, servant, or authentic leadership theories focus on the effects of leader behaviors on employee attitudes, motivation, and team outcomes, relational leadership theory views the dyadic relationship quality between leaders and members as the key to understanding leader effects on members, teams, and organizations. This approach views trust- and respect-based relationships as the cornerstone of leadership. LMX has grown from a new theory in the 1970s to a mature area of research in 2015. Interest in this theory has increased rapidly over the past four decades, and the pace of research in this area continues to accelerate dramatically. The Oxford Handbook of Leader-Member Exchange takes stock of the literature to examine its roots, what is currently known, what research gaps may exist, and what areas are in need of the most urgent research.

Download or read book Leading with Feeling written by Cary Cherniss and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader's moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a minus. This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal with critical challenges and opportunities. Featuring commentary from the leaders themselves describing how they handled each situation, it helps managers better understand not just what emotional intelligence is, or how to measure it, or how it is linked to bottom-line results: it also shows how real leaders used their emotional intelligence to deal with real situations. The book distills the leaders' experiences into nine strategies that can help any leader or potential leader to be more effective. Each chapter concludes with activities that help readers to apply immediately each of those strategies.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leader-member exchange (LMX) is a dyadic concept that describes the content and quality of a relationship between leader and follower. In order to better understand LMX as a dyadic construct, I investigate both leader and follower contributions to the leader-member exchange relationship. The current study proposes to make four contributions to LMX research: (a) evaluating ability-based emotional intelligence (EI) as a common antecedent of follower LMX, job satisfaction, and behavioral engagement (i.e., a composite of job performance, citizenship, and withdrawal), (b) proposing LMX as a relational construct that mediates the effects of EI on job satisfaction and behavior at work, (c) evaluating the role of LMX reciprocity (i.e., the extent to which leader contributions to the LMX relationship are matched by follower LMX contributions and vice versa) in predicting follower job satisfaction and behavioral engagement, and (d) providing initial evidence for the interrelationships among both leader and follower EI, LMX perceptions, job satisfaction and behavioral engagement, within the framework of Kenny, Kashy, and Cook0́9s (2006) Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). Results from two studies suggest: (a) follower ability-based EI is a robust predictor of self-reported job satisfaction and behavioral engagement (even after controlling for cognitive ability and Big Five personality traits), (b) LMX is not an important mediator of EI effects, although it strongly and independently predicts both job satisfaction and behavioral engagement, (c) LMX reciprocity effects are inconsistent, and (d) pilot data on the APIM imply strong actor effects of LMX on behavioral engagement but more modest partner effects of LMX provisions on one0́9s partner0́9s satisfaction and behavior. Implications for incorporating both EI and LMX as independent antecedents of job satisfaction, job performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and withdrawal are discussed.
