Download or read book Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression written by Nathan A. Bowling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars, addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression. Of note, the book encompasses the various labels used by researchers to refer to workplace aggression, such as 'abusive supervision', 'bullying', 'incivility' and 'interpersonal conflict'. This approach differs from those of previous books on the topic in that it does not focus on a particular type of workplace aggression, but covers an intentionally broad conceptualization of workplace aggression - specifically, it considers aggression from both the aggressors' and the targets' perspectives and includes behaviors enacted by several types of perpetrators, including supervisors, coworkers and customers.

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 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.

Download or read book Media Richness and the Relationship Between Direct Reports and Supervisors written by Jennifer Fairweather and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that the relationships employees have with their supervisors or managers is one element that may influence employee engagement and retention (Reina et al., 2018). As part of building a positive relationship, communication may be a key factor of influence (Divleli & Ergun, 2015). In today’s workplace, supervisors are often using technology to communicate with their direct reports. With the increasing use of technology to communicate there could be influences on the perceived relationship employees have with their managers (Colbert et al., 2016). As an example, some studies have shown that lesser rich technology media that are in written format, such as email and text messages, may be less effective in augmenting quality interactions (Colbert et al., 2016; Mackenzie, 2010; Stich et al., 2018). There are leadership theories that describe differences in styles that influence effective supervision. The full range leadership model provides a hierarchy of leadership styles that offer different approaches toward supervision (Bass & Avolio, 1994). Specifically, within the full range leadership model, the transformational leadership style may be an effective approach toward engaging employees (Antonakis et al., 2003) that could also be influenced by technology media (Hambley et al., 2007). The purpose of this convergent mixed methods study was to describe the perception of how media richness, when using technology to communicate, influences the relationship direct reports have with their supervisors. To address the research question, a survey was used with a sample of direct reports who frequently receive communication from their supervisors in different formats. The results from the study suggest that technology media influences the perceived relationship between direct reports and their supervisors. According to the results of this study, technology media may be especially helpful in bolstering the availability of supervisors which may positively influence other elements of the supervisory relationship. The results further suggest that it may be important for all leaders to choose technology media that is personalized and preferred by the employee while also using the most effective media for the type of message. Finally, leaders should understand the concerns that employees may have around privacy and overuse of technology media.

Download or read book Strategic Human Resource Management in China written by Min Min and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents and explains how strategic human resource management (SHRM) and high performance work systems (HPWS) have been adopted among indigenous enterprises, namely state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and domestic private enterprises (DPEs) in China, from both management and employee perspectives. The book examines the mutual relationships between employees and their supervisors/ managers through social exchange theory. It explains how and why employees develop their perceptions and relationships with their immediate supervisors/managers in the working environment and the consequent effects on their attitudes and behaviour at work. Given the importance of the Chinese economy in the world, and the impact of its ‘open door’ policy and economic and management reforms, this book will provide valuable insight into China’s SHRM and HPWS.
Download or read book Understanding the High Performance Workplace written by Neal M. Ashkanasy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks the crucial question: When does high performance supervision become abusive supervision? As more organizations push to adopt high performance work practices (HPWP), the onus increasingly falls on supervisors to do whatever it takes to maximize the productivity of their work teams. In this rigorous, research-based volume, international contributors offer insight into how and when seemingly-beneficial workplace practices cross the line from motivation to abuse. By reviewing critical issues in both high performance work practices and abusive supervision, it illuminates the crossover between these two modes of work, and forges a path for future scholarship.
