Abstract: In recent years, transformational leadership as a health-related factor has become a focal point of interest in research and practice. However, the pathways and mechanisms underlying this association are not yet well understood. In order to gain knowledge on how or why transformational leadership and employee well-being are associated, we investigated the mediating effect of the work characteristics role clarity and predictability. The study was carried out on 618 employees working in the health-care sector in Germany. We tested the mediator effect using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that role clarity and predictability fully mediate the relation between transformational leadership and negative indicators of well-being. These results give credit to the notion that work characteristics play an important role in identifying health-relevant aspects of leadership behavior. Our findings advance the understanding of how to enhance employee well-being and have implications for the design of leadership-related interventions of workplace health promotion.

The Impact

The relationships between transformational leaders and several follower outcomes have been well investigated, but the mechanism through which these leadership behaviors relate to such outcomes is relatively unexplored. By investigating the mediating role of interactional justice, using structural equation modeling analyses, and data collected from supervisors and direct reports at various organizational levels, the present study provides insight into the psychological processes underlying transformational leadership and its effectiveness on follower outcomes. In line with social exchange theory, the main takeaway from the present study is suggesting that leaders, who display transformational leadership behavior in a manner perceived by followers as respectful, fair, and consistent with moral and ethical standards, may expect greater follower organizational attachment as an appropriate response to interactional justice.

The Way

Dalam lima tahun terakhir, terdapat tiga perusahaan televisi swasta nasional di Indonesia yang berhasil melakukan perubahan transformasional di tingkat korporat. Secara teori, implementasi perubahan pada organisasi semacam ini akan sulit dilakukan karena tingkat resistensi tidak sama dengan nol (Ansoff&McDonnell, 1990). Resisting Change merupakan salah satu dimensi dari kesiapan berubah yang bersifat negatif. Dua dimensi lainnya yang bersifat positif adalah Participating and Promoting Change (Hanpachern, Morgan & Griego, 1998). Holt et al (2007) mengkategorikan anteseden kesiapan berubah dalam empat perspektif: content, context, process, dan individual attributes. Dari keempat perspektif tersebut, faktor kunci kesiapan organisasi untuk berubah terletak pada faktor atribut individu yaitu karakteristik dari sumber daya manusia. Penelitian ini merupakan studi eksplorasi yang bertujuan mengetahui atribut individu apa yang dimiliki dan memampukan karyawan di tiga perusahaan tersebut siap menghadapi dan sukses mengimplementasikan perubahan. Apakah temuan sama dengan hasil penelitian sebelumnya di negeri barat yaitu efficacy dan leadership, atau ditemukan adanya atribut individu lainnya. Penelitian ini merupakan bagian pertama dari dua tahapan studi yang dilakukan secara terpisah. Pada penelitian tahap pertama yang bersifat kualitatif ini dilakukan wawancara individual secara mendalam terhadap narasumber pelaku utama perubahan pada tiga perusahaan televisi yang menjadi obyek studi. Data diolah dan dianalisis menggunakan sense-making melalui analisis baris. Hasil penelitian berhasil mengidentifikasi 15 atribut individu yang kemudian dikelompokkan menjadi empat kategori, yaitu: Psychological Capital, Transformational Leadership Behavior, Way of Thinking dan Organizational Commiment. Atribut individu yang muncul dikemukakan oleh seluruh narasumber adalah Efficacy, Resiliency, Optimism, Inspiring a Shared Vision, Enabling Others to Act, Modeling The Way, Rational Thinking dan Affective Commitment. Modeling the Way dtemukan sebagai atribut individu yang paling sering dikemukakan oleh seluruh narasumber, diikuti Affective Commitment, Enabling Others to Act dan Resiliency.

Purpose – It is widely agreed that top management's leadership behavior is a source for achieving and sustaining competitive advantage. Very few research studies analyzed the prevalence of transformational leadership style in the manufacturing environment, and importantly, the associations between transformational behaviors and manufacturing strategies in connection with flexibility, quality, delivery, and cost are not yet deeply explored in the literature. In this direction, efforts are initiated to explain the relationships between transformational leadership behaviors and manufacturing strategies in this study. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic literature review was conducted by analyzing all traditional and contemporary research studies in the fields of leadership and operations management in order to examine the link between transformational leadership and manufacturing strategies comprising of flexibility, quality, delivery, and cost strategy. Findings – It was found from the review that top-level leaders exhibit transformational leadership behaviors while implementing manufacturing strategies in their firms. In particular, transformational leaders are capable to transform the production system into flexible system, and in addition, they develop new production processes for manufacturing both new and old products. Such leaders ensure quality in all the levels of production process and support to speed up order delivery process with the help of technology. Finally, they also concentrate on reducing cost growth. Research limitations/implications – This study is bounded by its focus on Bass and Avolio's transformational leadership behaviors and Ward and Duray's manufacturing strategies comprising of flexibility, quality, delivery, and cost strategy. Originality/value – This study shows that transformational leaders, in the manufacturing environment, use manufacturing strategy as a tool to improve operational performance. Thus, they have potential to achieve and sustain competitive advantage through formulation of manufacturing strategy.

Perceptions Of Leadership

Purpose A critical assumption of the organizational leadership literature is that leaders want to engage in effective leadership behaviors (Gilbert and Kelloway, 2014). However, leaders may vary in their motivation to be effective in a leadership role, leading to different levels of performance. Drawing on self-determination theory, the authors address the question of what motivates leaders to engage in transformational leadership behaviors (Gilbert et al., 2016). The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The current study examined the effects of self-determined leader motivation for transformational leadership on aggregated follower leadership ratings using a sample of 37 leaders matched with 179 followers in two organizations. Findings Results show how leaders’ own motivation relates to followers’ perceptions of leader behavior, and specifically that, across contexts, some autonomous levels of leader motivation are positively related to follower perceptions of leaders’ active-constructive leadership and negatively related to follower perceptions of passive avoidant leadership. Research limitations/implications The research is limited by a small level-two sample size and cross-sectional design. The results suggest that some forms of leader motivation relate to follower ratings of leadership behavior. Originality/value This study is the first to examine how self-determined motivation for transformational leadership predicts follower perceptions of leadership behavior using a multilevel design.

Mediating Role

Because project teams in the construction industry shape the primary focus of the industry's project life cycle, a high-performance construction workplace facilitates employees’ technical and innovation skills through team development. Drawing on the current research in general teamwork and leadership, this study, from a theoretical perspective, extends the team condition as a hierarchical construct, incorporating six associated components. This article argues that team building and team development can be studied as ongoing processes that are crucial to project success. In order to reduce the risk of common method variance, the research analysis was completed using 94 construction teams from three different sources, within which team members rated their leader's transformational leadership behavior. The team leaders evaluated the team's conditions, and, lastly, the supervisor of each team rated the team's performance. The model shows that the team condition, which is defined as the factors that contribute to making a great team, has significant direct and indirect impacts on team performance. Furthermore, the transformational leadership behavior of team leaders showed a mediating role between the team condition and the performance.
