This book was released on 2012 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the authentic leadership of supervisors and future time orientation of employees as antecedents of employee feedback-seeking behavior. I also proposed two different mediating mechanisms to explain why authentic leadership and future time orientation could lead to employee feedback seeking, while boundary conditions were also examined. This research comprises two studies. Despite an increasing number of studies showing a positive relationship between characteristics of feedback source and feedback-seeking behavior, little is known about the influence that leaders exert on promoting follower feedback-seeking behavior when they serve as feedback sources. In study 1, I developed a model to fill this void by linking authentic leadership with feedback seeking. Specifically, I hypothesised that authentic leadership was positively related to employee feedback seeking behaviour and was mediated by both perceived instrumental value and image cost of feedback seeking. In addition, power distance was hypothesized to moderate the relationships between authentic leadership and the mediators. Testing the model with data from a sample of 237 supervisor-follower dyads, results revealed that (1) there was a positive relationship between authentic leadership and feedback seeking from the supervisor, (2) perceived instrumental value and perceived image cost mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and feedback seeking, (3) power distance moderated the positive relationship between authentic leadership and perceived value in such a way that the relationship was stronger for people higher, rather than lower, in power distance, (4) power distance moderated the negative relationship between authentic leadership and perceived cost in such a way that the relationship was weaker for people higher, rather than lower, in power distance. Drawing upon psychological ownership theory, Study 2 hypothesized a positive influence of future time orientation on feedback seeking from various sources (i.e., supervisors and co-workers). I also hypothesized job-based psychological ownership to be a driving force for feedback seeking and as an underlying mechanism through which future time orientation was positively related to feedback seeking from supervisors and co-workers. In addition, transformational leadership was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between future time orientation and job-based psychological ownership. Tested with data from a sample of 228 subordinate-supervisor dyads from China, the results revealed that (1) future time orientation was positively related to feedback seeking from supervisors and co-workers, (2) job-based psychology ownership was positively related to feedback seeking from supervisors and co-workers and mediated the relationship between future time orientation and feedback seeking form various sources. - provided by Candidate.

Book excerpt: This important new book explores the psychological motives that shape the extent and nature of people's cooperative behavior in the groups, organizations and societies to which they belong. Individuals may choose to expend a great deal of effort on promoting the goals and functioning of the group, they may take a passive role, or they may engage in behaviors targeted towards harming the group and its goals. Such decisions have important implications for the group's functioning and viability, and the goal of this book is to understand the factors that influence these choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This twenty-sixth volume of Research in Organizational Behavior presents a set of well-crafted and thoughtful essays on a series of research topics. They range from efforts to redirect the study of leadership, to analyses of interpersonal relationships, to considerations of cross-cultural issues in organizing work, to discussions of institutional and environmental forces on organizational outcomes. Each of these essays includes a thorough review of the relevant literature, and more importantly, pushes that literature forward with new conceptual analysis and theory. In short, these essays continue the spirit of "rigorous eclecticism" that has exemplified the annual publication of ROB. As a collection, this year's set of essays provides a healthy advance for the field of organizational behavior. They are examples of serious scholarship that extend and challenge our current thinking about organizations and the behavior of its participants.

Download or read book Self Improvement written by Robert N. Johnson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there any moral obligation to improve oneself, to foster and develop various capacities in oneself? From a broadly Kantian point of view, Self-Improvement defends the view that there is such an obligation and that it is an obligation that each person owes to him or herself. The defence addresses a range of arguments philosophers have mobilized against this idea, including the argument that it is impossible to owe anything to yourself, and the view that an obligation to improve onself is overly 'moralistic'. Robert N. Johnson argues against Kantian universalization arguments for the duty of self-improvement, as well as arguments that bottom out in a supposed value humanity has. At the same time, he defends a position based on the notion that self- and other-respecting agents would, under the right circumstances, accept the principle of self-improvement and would leave it up to each to be the person to whom this duty is owed.
Download or read book An Alternative Explanation for Transformational Leadership Effectiveness written by Lei Wang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies have provided a limited understanding of why and how transformational leadership relates to effectiveness. These studies have tended to focus on the transformation of subordinates' motivations and self-concepts in an effort to explain leadership effectiveness. Yet, transformational leadership can sometimes require leaders to adjust by aligning themselves with their subordinates (e.g., individualized consideration). This dissertation seeks to contribute to the literature by studying whether proactive feedback-seeking behavior by transformational leaders reflects their attempt to obtain information from subordinates to adjust and adapt their actions accordingly. More specifically, this dissertation investigates whether transformational leaders exhibit more proactive feedback-seeking behavior and if so, when this behavior leads to greater leadership effectiveness, particularly in terms of subordinate performance.^The dissertation seeks to address the aforementioned issues by investigating three key questions. First, how does perceptual and informational uncertainty influence the association between transformational leadership and leader proactive feedback-seeking behavior? Second, how does leader proactive feedback-seeking behavior influence subordinates' leader categorization processes and interactional justice perceptions, which in turn should influence leadership effectiveness? Third, does the political skill of leaders enhance their ability to leverage more benefits and outcomes from proactively seeking feedback from subordinates? To test the nine hypotheses proposed in this study, a survey was conducted among a total of 60 supervisors, who collectively had 204 subordinates, in four small and medium-sized Chinese firms.^Hierarchical ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to test the hypotheses. The overall results from hypothesis testing reveal that five of the nine hypotheses were fully supported. Specifically, when a leader displays higher levels of transformational leadership, he or she is perceived as exerting more proactive feedback-seeking behaviors. Such a perception on behalf of the leader's subordinates tends to lead to two consequences: a decrease in the discrepancy between the subordinates' prototype of leaders and their recognition of the actual leader, and an increase in their perception of interactional justice. Consequently, the changes in these two aspects will influence subordinates' attitudes toward their leaders (i.e., trust, identification, and satisfaction), which ultimately determines subordinate performance.^The four hypotheses that were not supported all deal with the proposed moderation effects, and the results of the post hoc analyses suggest the different roles that might be played by these failed moderators. Finally, the theoretical implications of these findings, the limitations of the present study, and directions for future research are discussed.
Download or read book The Future of Leadership Development written by Susan Elaine Murphy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

Download or read book The Eight Roles of the Medical Teacher written by Ronald M. Harden and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be an essential read for all new teachers or trainers in medicine and the healthcare professions, while encouraging the more experienced teacher to review their educational responsibilities. It looks at teaching from the perspective of the functions or roles of a teacher. While aiming to maintain both brevity and clarity it adopts a personal style and approach in order to provide a flavour of what it means to be a teacher. The authors describe the eight key roles for the teacher or trainer. For maximum effectiveness and job satisfaction it is important for every teacher to establish their roles in an education programme and to know how to contribute most effectively. This book is written to assist with these goals. All teachers should have an understanding of the eight roles but cannot be expected to be an expert in all of them. A consideration of these roles illuminates what is expected of a teacher and illustrates how to maximise potential. All the chapters contain brief overviews, key take-home messages, a summary of the role responsibilities of all teachers, ‘expert’ teachers and ‘master’ teachers, and suggestions for consideration by the teacher as to their personal role. At the end of each chapter is a list of references of the topics addressed in the chapter. The text includes short narratives from 38 teachers around the world as well as personal anecdotes to provide an additional insight into the roles a teacher fulfils. The first chapter highlights the importance of the teacher in an educational programme and how the teacher is critical to the success of the learner. The second chapter provides an overview of the eight roles and how they are interconnected. The subsequent chapters describe in turn each of the roles, highlighting what is expected of a teacher, what is required of an expert teacher, and what is anticipated of a master teacher who is an innovator in the field relating to a particular role. The final chapter reviews the eight roles in the context of the day-to-day work of the teacher and how these roles are changing.
