Prof. Dr. Chong Chin Wei – DBA/PhD/MPhil Malaysia 26th December 2012 MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION Are you born to be a leader? Are you a “natural”? Or is leadership a set of behaviors and competencies that anyone can develop, given the right experiences, circumstances, and training? Since the 1960s, researchers have examined whether there is a relationship between the basic agreed-on factors that make up personality and leadership. The Big Five personality factors are Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion, which some researchers have labelled the CANOE personality model as an easy aid to remembering each factor (Bligh, 2009). As Tejeda (2001) asserts, “the past two decades have witnessed a great deal of scholarly attention transformational leadership behavior, which is currently the most widely accepted leadership paradigm” (as cited in Rubin, Munz, & Bommer, 2005, p.845). Transformational leadership behavior represents the most active/effective form of leadership, a form in which leaders are closely engaged with followers, motivating them to perform beyond their transactional agreements. Barling, Weber, and Kelloway (1996) demonstrated that some transformational leadership behaviors can be trained. Thus, an understanding...

...What is Transformational Leadership? Is there a relationship between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence? Introduction For more than three decades, the paradigm of transformational leadership has attracted a vast amount of academic interest. A large number of empirical studies lend credibility to this interest by linking aspects of transformational leadership to a range of positive organisational and individual outcomes (Bass, 1997; Bass & Avolio, 1994; Lowe, Kroeck & Sivasubramaniam, 1996). Due to these desirable effects, a significant amount of research has also been undertaken in trying to understand factors that predict or contribute to transformational leadership behaviours. For this reason, the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership is one that has attracted much attention. The following paper examines this proposition in more detail. In order to gain a more detailed understanding of transformational leadership and its relationship with emotional intelligence, the paper first examines the two subjects as standalone concepts. In determining if and how a relationship exists, the paper subsequently brings the two constructs together so that a critical examination and analysis of the research available can be undertaken. Lastly, after examining the case for and against a relationship, a conclusion is drawn from the analysis presented. Transformational Leadership The notion of transforming leadership was first introduced...

Maria Tims ⁎, Arnold B.

On the basis of leadership theories and the job demands–resources model, we predicted that a transformational leadership style enhances employees' work engagement through the mediation of self-efficacy and optimism, on a day-to-day basis. Fortytwo employees first filled in a general questionnaire, and then a diary survey over five consecutive workdays. The results of multilevel analyses offered partial support for our hypotheses. Daily transformational leadership related positively to employees' daily engagement, and day-levels of optimism fully mediated this relationship. However, daily self-efficacy did not act as a mediator. These findings expand theory and previous research by illuminating the role of transformational ...

Mokgolo1 Patricia Mokgolo2 Mike Modiba3 Affiliations: 1 Department of Human Resources Management, University of South Africa, South Africa Learning and Development Unit, Tromso Management Consultants CC, Boyne, South Africa 2 Orientation: The implementation of transformational leadership in public services after national elections has been well recorded in other parts of the world. However, this is not the case in South Africa. Research purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine whether transformational leadership has a beneficial relationship with subordinate leadership acceptance, job performance and job satisfaction. Motivation for the study: Leadership is a critical issue that the public sector needs to address in order to survive and succeed in today’s unstable environment. According to Groenewald and Ashfield (2008), transformational leadership could reduce the effects of uncertainty and change that comes with new leaders and help employees to achieve their objectives. Research design, approach and method: The sample comprised 1050 full-time employees in the public sector based in head offices. The measuring instruments included the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the Leadership Acceptance Scale (LAS), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Job Performance Survey (JPS).

...the competitive landscape. This landscape is characterized by 1) increasing business risk, 2) decreasing ability to forecast, 3) fluid organizational and industrial boundaries, and 4) a managerial mind-set that demands unlearning many traditional management practices. Researchers and practitioners have proposed that organizations with an entrepreneurial strategic posture will be able to compete in such dynamic markets. Researchers and practitioners have also called for a new type of person to lead these organizations in the new dynamic market arena. They have coined this new person as the “entrepreneurial leader.” This paper will offer an operational definition of the term “entrepreneurial leader” based on the conceptual literature in leadership, entrepreneurship and the results of a pilot study. Executive Summary This paper attempts to explain that today’s markets can be best described as dynamic in nature. Regardless if the organization is established or a new venture they need to be able to deal with a dynamic market that is primarily revolutionary rather than evolutionary in nature. Researchers and practitioners have proposed that organizations need to have an entrepreneurial strategic posture that allows them to compete in such a dynamic market. An entrepreneurial strategic posture means that the organization needs to be innovative, risk-taking and proactive. Researchers and practitioners have also called for a new type of person to lead these organizations in the new dynamic...

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 © James Long, 2004 Abstract Within the healthcare industry, there is an issue of major significance that may result in inadequate levels of staffing to meet patient demand. It has been estimated that at the current rate, hospitals will be forced to function with a nursing vacancy rate of 20 % in the not-toodistant future. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect that leadership style has on the job satisfaction level of nurses. It has been indicated that job satisfaction levels negatively correlate with employee attrition rates (Vandenberghe, Stordeur, & D'hoore, 2002). Using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 5X Short (revised) and the Abridged Job Descriptive Index/Abridged Job in General (AJDI/AJIG) psychometric assessments, nurses job satisfaction levels were compared to the leadership classification of their immediate...

...Transformational leadership is defined as a leadership approach that causes change in individuals and social systems. In its ideal form, it creates valuable and positive change in the followers with the end goal of developing followers into leaders. Enacted in its authentic form, transformational leadership enhances the motivation, morale and performance of followers through a variety of mechanisms. These include connecting the follower's sense of identity and self to the mission and the collective identity of the organization; being a role model for followers that inspires them; challenging followers to take greater ownership for their work, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of followers, so the leader can align followers with tasks that optimize their performance.... Background James MacGregor Burns (1978)[1] first introduced the concept of transforming leadership in his descriptive research on political leaders, but this term is now used in organizational psychology as well. According to Burns, transforming leadership is a process in which "leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation". Burns related to the difficulty in differentiation between management and leadership and claimed that the differences are in characteristics and behaviors. He established two concepts: "transforming leadership" and "transactional leadership". According to Burns, the transforming approach creates significant change in...
