Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, grade: 1,0, University of Economics, Prague (Faculty of Business Administration), course: Management for doctoral students, language: English, abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of transformational leadership on employee well-being in remote work environments. As several studies suggest, there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and employee well-being, but it is rather complex as it is influenced by specific mediating and moderating factors. Since the ongoing COVID-19 crisis forced many teams into remote working conditions, also leadership was predominantly performed virtually. This leads to adapted requirements for the promotion of employee well-being. This paper seeks to identify those adjustments. Thus, a conceptual model was constructed to illustrate the relationship of transformational leadership and employee well-being, which was then applied to remote work environments to propose relevant adaptations.

Book excerpt: Leaders of organizations have faced many challenges with respect to remote work during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The purpose of this research was to examine the most productive work environment for employees post-pandemic, the role leadership plays in the success of remote work, and how employees view remote work. This research was limited to one small community bank that had experience with employees working in a traditional office setting then working remotely to adhere to COVID-19 protocols. This study focused on middle management and below, excluding senior management from the research. The conclusion of this research was that most employees want to work remotely opposed to a traditional office setting, which can achieve higher job satisfaction and lower employee turnover. Current employees of the small community bank were surveyed and interviewed to explore their experiences, organizational culture, thoughts on leadership’s decision, and the impact of remote work due to the pandemic. Organizations that have leaders who listen to what their employees want when it comes to remote work will result in greater work performance. This research demonstrated the importance of evaluating employees post-pandemic to analyze their most productive work setting.

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 excerpt: Traditional face-to-face office environments are gradually being replaced by virtual interaction and remote management. This physical separation can create circumstances in which conventional management approaches may no longer be appropriate. This research develops a model that explains how transformational leadership combined with the application of relational psychological contracts and open management communication could positively influence employee organizational commitment and intent to stay for teleworkers. The research design for this qualitative study was based on triangulation of evidence from multiple management literature sources in combination with secondary evidence from a systematic literature review and an ethnographic study (i.e., employee interviews). The results show that a specific work strategy building upon transformational leadership, relational psychological contracts, and open management communication is positively associated with increased organizational commitment for remote employees.
Download or read book Transformational Leadership and Its Effectiveness in the Mental Health Setting written by Michael Pineda and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positive change in the workplace is essential to bring out success. Positive change that is driven based on motivation, empowerment, and support leads to better job performance and lower burnout rates. The concept of Transformational Leadership has been out for years, but is it really utilized? Is it uniform? Transformational leaders inspire their followers to promote positive change, great outcomes, and better job performance. In essence, transformational leaders utilize goal-oriented techniques, thus creating a supportive and healthy environment. Studies have shown the effectiveness of transformational leadership; however, minimal empirical research has shown the effectiveness of such leadership theory in the public sector, specifically in Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) also known as DMH. This research paper aims at looking at its potential effectiveness in the public sector. This writer's interest stems from his current employment and how transformational leadership is not consistent. Research implies the relationship amongst transformational leadership and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction refers to how pleased an employee is at their employment. Lastly, transformational leadership leads to job fulfillment and pleasure. It focuses on the intrinsic motivation and personal development of the followers. Findings suggest that a public organization needs to have consistent transformational leadership in order to create success in carrying out the organization's mission and goal.

Download or read book Transformational Leadership and Employee Championing Behavior During Organizational Change written by M. Nazmul Islam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The research aims to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on employee championing behavior and to determine the mediating effect of work engagement in the context of organizational change. Design/methodology/approach: This is a quantitative approach, which is based on cross-sectional data. In total, 300 available cases are processed through structural equation modeling in order to infer the results. Findings: The results indicate that transformational leadership is significantly related to championing behavior during organizational change. Moreover, work engagement fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and championing behavior in the context of organizational change. Practical implications: Managers should emphasize the practice of the transformational leadership approach, as well as should stress the antecedents of work engagement in order to foster the employee championing behavior in the context of organizational change. Originality/value: The research contributes to the change management and human resource management literature by providing a plausible explanation of the mediating role of work engagement in connecting transformational leadership and employee championing behavior in the context of organizational change.

Book excerpt: Today the geographic distance between workers is increasing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the distributed work environment by specifically focusing on leader behavior and its impact on subordinate outcomes. This study asked if the traditional core set of leadership behaviors is effective in distributed work environments, and how those behaviors impact employee outcomes such as commitment and satisfaction with supervision. Several fundamental and explored questions included: Do essential management behaviors such as consideration and initiating structure materialize differently in face-to-face versus remote situations, what type of leadership will have the most positive impact on employee's perceptions of satisfaction with supervision and organizational commitment, and does this differ according to the amount of face time between the manager and employee? Correlational data results did not support the hypotheses that face to face interaction scores were positively correlated with affective commitment, or satisfaction with supervision. Face to face interaction was not negatively correlated with continuance commitment. Non-remote employees reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction with supervision than remote employees. There was a significant difference between remote and non remote employees with non remote employees reporting higher levels of career advancement than remote employees. There was a stronger relationship between initiating structure and satisfaction with supervision when spatial distance was high. It appears that spatial distance acted as an enhancer. Two scales, company support for remote management and remote management specific behaviors, were analyzed to obtain preliminary data for future research.

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.
