Data were collected from 820 teachers of 71 junior high schools in Taiwan. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation analysis, stepwise regression, and structural equation modeling. Finally, the findings of this study are as followings: 1. The perceptions from the junior high school teachers about empowering leadership behavior are positive. Furthermore, “participation and autonomous decision-making” is the highest. 2. The perceptions from the junior high school teachers about organization innovative management are positive. Besides “organizational climate of innovation” is the highest. 3. The perceptions from the junior high school teachers about school effectiveness are positive. “campus planning and facilities” is the highest in addition. 4. To describe the differences of the background of junior high school principals’ empowering leadership behavior, organizational innovation management, and school effectiveness. 5. There are significant correlations between school effectiveness and principals’ empowering leadership behavior as well as between organizational innovation management and school effectiveness. 6. The sub-level of the principals’ empowering leadership and organizational innovation management can apparently predict the school effectiveness. 7. The results from structural equation model indicated that there is a positive indirect effect between principals’ empowering leadership behavior and school effectiveness when organizational innovation management served as a mediating variable. At last, according to the results, this study provides the conclusion and the suggestions particularly for the institution of educational administration and junior high schools.

Abstrakt Transformativt ledarskap och empowering ledarskap undersöktes i en kvantitativ studie där 89 medarbetare vid ett större skogsföretag i Sundsvall besvarade en enkät och skattade sina chefers ledarskapsbeteende. En principal komponentanalys visade stöd för att det var två olika typer av ledarskap, och multipla hierarkiska regressionsanalyser visade stöd för att effekterna av transformativt ledarskap och empowering ledarskap var ledarskapseffektivitet och tillfredställelse med arbetsledningen. Resultatet av studien överensstämde väl med tidigare internationell ledarskapsforskning och indikerar att det går att predicera vilka effekter ett ledarskap hade på medarbetarna och därmed indirekt på medarbetarnas prestationer.

[pt] Esta tese propõe que a liderança empoderadora tem um importante papel no engajamento de profissionais com alta qualificação, e, como consequência, sobre o seu desempenho e resultados alcançados pelas organizações, particularmente em empresas de serviços. O trabalho desenvolve um modelo teórico que associa a liderança empoderadora com o engajamento de profissionais da área de ensino, e através de sua mediação, com atitudes e comportamentos de alunos no segmento do ensino técnico. Estas premissas são investigadas empiricamente através de um estudo de campo, realizado a partir de dados levantados em uma amostra de 71 coordenadores de programas de ensino técnico, 404 docentes desses mesmos programas, e 577 discentes matriculados nos cursos. Os dados foram analisados através da aplicação de análise de regressão multivariada e testes de mediação. Os resultados sugerem que a liderança empoderadora tem impacto direto no engajamento de docentes do ensino técnico, e indireto na satisfação de discentes com o ensino, e em sua atitude em relação ao programa cursado. / [en] This thesis proposes that empowering leadership plays an important role in engaging highly qualified professionals, and consequently, on their performance and results achieved by organizations, particularly service companies. This work develops a theoretical model that associates empowering leadership with the engagement of professionals in education, and through its mediation, with attitudes and behaviors of students in professional education. These premises are investigated empirically through a field study, based on data collected from a sample of 71 coordinators of professional programs, 404 faculty from these programs, and 577 students enrolled in the courses. Data were analyzed through the application of multivariate regression analysis and mediation tests. The results suggest that empowering leadership has a direct impact on the engagement of faculty in professional schools, and indirectly affects the satisfaction of students with teaching, and their attitude towards the programs.

[pt] Esta tese propõe um modelo teórico que integra e associa as perspectivas transformacional, transacional (BASS, 1985), instrumental (ANTONAKIS e HOUSE, 2014) e empoderadora (PEARCE e SIMS, 2002) da liderança com a geração de capacidades dinâmicas e obtenção de vantagem competitiva em equipes de projeto. Com base em teorias de motivação e sua articulação teórica com as perspectivas de liderança, foi proposto um modelo hierárquico onde comportamentos de liderança ressaltados nas perspectivas estudadas são propostos como ações complementares associadas mecanismos de motivação intrínsecos e extrínsecos para formar competências globais de liderança, e por via dessas competências influenciarem o desempenho de equipes. O estudo também propõe uma associação entre as competências de liderança do gerente de projeto e as capacidades dinâmicas da equipe, assim como das capacidades com o desempenho das equipes. O modelo conceitual foi testado estatisticamente em 50 equipes de consultoria que atuam em projetos da empresa Elogroup, e avaliado através da modelagem estrutural baseada em mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS) e de técnicas de bootstrapping para calcular a significância dos efeitos estimados. Verificou-se os efeitos positivos das competências de liderança abordadas por este estudo no desempenho de equipes de consultoria, avaliado em termos da satisfação de clientes e da capacidade das equipes de criarem novos projetos junto a um mesmo cliente, mas não no lucro bruto obtido nos projetos. Os resultados da análise não mostraram qualquer efeito estatisticamente significante dos comportamentos de liderança transformacional, transacional, instrumental e empoderadora nas capacidades dinâmicas das equipes. / [en] This thesis proposes a theoretical model that articulates the conceptual connections between the transformational, transactional (BASS, 1985), instrumental (ANTONAKIS and HOUSE, 2014) and empowering (PEARCE and SIMS, 2002) perspectives of leadership in generating dynamic capacities and obtaining competitive advantage in project teams. Based on theories of motivation and its theoretical articulation with the perspectives of leadership, a hierarchical model was proposed where leadership behaviors highlighted in the studied perspectives are presented as complementary actions associated to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation mechanisms to form global leadership competencies, and via these competencies influence the performance of project teams. The study also proposes an association between the leadership competencies of the project manager and the team dynamic capabilities, as well as these capabilities with the performance of the teams. The conceptual model was statistically tested in 50 project teams from Elogroup consulting company, evaluated using structural modelling based on partial least squares (PLS) and bootstrapping techniques to calculate the significance of the estimated effects. The positive effects of the leadership skills addressed by this study were verified on the performance of consulting teams, evaluated in terms of client satisfaction and the team s ability to create new projects with the same client, but not on the gross profit of the projects. The results of the analysis did not show any statistically significant effect of transformational, transactional, instrumental and empowering leadership behaviors on the dynamic capabilities of the teams.

The purpose of this study is to examine the cross-cultural endorsement of paternalistic leadership, an emerging non-western leadership theory, using data from GLOBE project. Using multigroup confirmatory factor analyses we found measurement equivalence of a scale derived from GLOBE’s data, which enabled us to compare the endorsement of paternalistic leadership dimensions across 10 cultural clusters and 55 societies. Our study revealed that there are significant differences in the importance societies give to each dimension, suggesting that paternalism as leadership style is not universally nor homogeneously endorsed. Furthermore, results suggest that different patterns of endorsement of each of these dimensions give rise to idiosyncratic shades of paternalistic leadership across societies. Implications for theory and future research on international business are discussed. / Paternalistic leadership is a flourishing area in leadership literature, traditionally assumed to be culture bounded. However, empirical evidences have suggested that rather than national cultures, the conditions under which paternalistic leaders are effective can be related to the fit between the style of a leader and that of his or her followers. In the present research, we focus on paternalistic leadership and contrast it with empowering leadership, as two opposite ways on how leaders influence followers, to explore the individual conditions under which both styles can be effective. Adopting a follower-centered approach, we base our arguments on person-supervisor (P-S) fit theory and regulatory focus theory to propose that leadership effectiveness may be contingent to followers’ own values and motivational needs. We expected paternalistic leadership behaviors (e.g, authority, benevolence, support) to supply motivational needs for predominantly prevention-focused followers, and empowering leadership behaviors (e.g. empowerment, encouragement and autonomy) to supply motivational needs for predominantly promotion-focused followers. Using data collected from two experimental studies and a business simulation, we found support for these ideas, showing that fit increased followers’ perception of attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, such as in-role and creative performance.

Introduction: An interconnected world is impelling workforce composition towards cultural heterogeneity. Since leadership is a cultural construct, leaders should display those styles that enable them to function effectively in culturally varied conditions. Cultural intelligence could assist leaders in this respect. Purpose: To investigate the role cultural intelligence plays in the leadership style (empowering and directive leadership) and leadership effectiveness domain, so as to aid leader selection and development. Method: A systematic review of the cultural intelligence literature, coupled with content and thematic analysis, allowed for the knowledge to be organised per the concept, definition and truth statement (validated hypotheses) elements of the general body of scientific knowledge framework. Correlation and regression analysis of cross-sectional survey data, from 1140 respondents, were used to assess relationships between leader cultural intelligence, leadership styles (empowering and directive) and leadership effectiveness. Results: Nine concepts associated with, and 24 different definitions of cultural intelligence, were identified. Sixty percent of hypotheses on cultural intelligence have been confirmed as truth statements. The relationship between leader cultural intelligence and empowering leadership demonstrated a large practical effect. This relationship was underpinned primarily by metacognitive and motivational cultural intelligence. The relationship with directive leadership carried a medium practical effect, and was strongest at the motivational and cognitive cultural intelligence levels. The part played by subordinates’ cultural identity in the display of empowering and directive leadership by culturally intelligent leaders was insignificant; rather, leader cultural intelligence was the dominant informant of these leadership styles. Finally, leader cultural intelligence did not impact the relationship between empowering leadership and leadership effectiveness. Although it did negatively affect the directive leadership and leadership effectiveness relationship, the moderation had no practical effect. Conclusions: The concepts associated with cultural intelligence are: accomplishment, culture, expatriates, experience, fit, intelligence, motivation, supervision and training. Cultural intelligence definitions remain mostly based on those of the seminal authors. The majority of truths cover just six themes. Leadership style (empowering and directive) is a function of leader cultural intelligence. Although leader cultural intelligence extends beyond subordinates’ cultural identity in predicting empowering and directive leadership, it does not influence their relationships with leadership effectiveness. / Graduate School of Business Leadership (SBL) / D.B.L.

Ce mémoire vise principalement à déterminer l’effet médiateur de la justice organisationnelle entre le leadership d’habilitation des supérieurs immédiats et la détresse psychologique des employés. Deux objectifs principaux sont poursuivis. Le premier consiste à identifier l’impact du leadership d’habilitation sur la détresse psychologique. Le second objectif vise à déterminer le rôle médiateur de la justice organisationnelle, plus précisément la justice distributive, la justice procédurale, la justice interpersonnelle et la justice informationnelle, entre le leadership d’habilitation exercé envers un subordonné et la détresse psychologique. Les données secondaires qui nous permettent de faire les analyses statistiques nécessaires ont été recueillies dans le cadre d’une étude réalisée dans le secteur de la fabrication métallique industrielle (FMI) du Québec. Un total de 741 employés ont été sondés à l’aide de questionnaires. Des analyses d’équations structurelles ont permis de compléter nos analyses. Les résultats indiquent que le leadership d’habilitation seul ne permet pas de réduire les niveaux de détresse psychologique d’un subordonné. Cependant, les hypothèses concernant le rôle médiateur de la justice distributive et de la justice procédurale ont été confirmées. Pour conclure, ces résultats montrent que le leadership d’habilitation jumelé à la perception d’un haut niveau de justice distributive ou procédurale a un impact significatif sur la diminution de la survenance de détresse psychologique. Ainsi, il est dans l’intérêt des organisations du secteur de la fabrication métallurgique au Québec d’influencer les supérieurs immédiats d’appliquer un leadership d’habilitation tout en portant une attention particulière à la distributive des ressources ainsi qu’à l’élaboration des procédures. / The main objective of this research is to determine the mediating effect of organizational justice between the empowering leadership of immediate superiors and the psychological distress of employees. Two main objectives are pursued. The first is to identify the impact of empowering leadership on psychological distress. The second objective aims to determine the mediating role of organizational justice, more precisely distributive justice, procedural justice, interpersonal justice and informational justice, between the empowering leadership exercised towards a subordinate and psychological distress. The secondary data that allow us to make the necessary statistical analyzes were collected as part of a study carried out in the industrial metalworking sector of Quebec. A total of 741 employees were surveyed using questionnaires. Analyzes of structural equations completed our analyzes. The results indicate that empowering leadership alone does not reduce a subordinate’s levels of psychological distress. However, the hypotheses concerning the mediating role of distributive and procedural justice have confirmed. To conclude, these results show that empowering leadership combined with the perception of a high level of distributive or procedural justice has a significant impact on the reduction of the occurrence of psychological distress. Thus, it is in the interest of organizations in the metalworking sector of Quebec to influence the immediate superiors to apply empowering leadership while paying particular attention to the distribution of resources as well as to the elaboration of procedures.

L’intérêt quant à l'habilitation des employés persiste étant donné les nombreux avantages associés à un personnel habilité. Les recherches empiriques démontrent que les employés psychologiquement habilités sont plus performants (Ahearne et al., 2005), s'engagent à des comportements extra- roles (Den Hartog & De Hoogh, 2009; Raub & Robert, 2010), sont plus satisfaits (Vecchio et al., 2010), sont plus intrinsèquement motivés (Chen et al., 2011; Zhang & Bartol, 2010), et sont plus engagés envers leur travail (Hassan et al., 2012; Konczak et al., 2000; Mare, 2007; Tuckey et al., 2012). Malgré les résultats positifs de l’habilitation des employés, les interventions ne parviennent pas à atteindre les résultats attendus. De plus, rares sont les recherches qui examinent l’habilitation du point de vue des leaders. Donc, employant la perspective des leaders, cette étude tente de combler cette lacune en élucidant les facteurs qui contribuent à mieux comprendre pourquoi certains dirigeants habilitent les employés tandis que d’autres ne le font pas. À cette fin, les facteurs relationnels et de personnalité des leaders, ainsi que contextuels au travail et leur relation avec les practiques d’habilitation ont été examinés sur un échantillon de dirigeants au sein de sept ministères gouvernementales d'une province canadienne. Il a été constaté que plus le leader se définit par un concept de soi inclusive dans ses relations au travail, plus il/elle a tendance à habiliter ses subordonnés. Les attributs de personnalité, soit de l'honnêteté-humilité (positivement), d’identité morale (positivement) et le désir de dominer (négativement) ont également servi à prédire le comportement d'habilitation du leader. L'insécurité positionnelle s’est avéré prévoir négativement les comportements d’habilitation des leaders. En outre, il a été constaté que les dirigeants avec un sens de pouvoir plus élevé sont plus susceptibles d’habiliter leurs employés, contrairement à ce que prédit la littérature sur le pouvoir, perçu comme une force corruptrice (Kipnis, 1972; Maner & Mead, 2007). À l'inverse aux attentes, le trait d’implication de la culture organisationnelle s'est avéré non lié au comportement d’habilitation des leaders. Cette constatation correspond aux recherches sur le pouvoir et sa suppression des influences contextuels en faveur des traits internes du leader (Galinsky et al., 2003). En effet, le sentiment de puissance et le concept de soi collectif sont apparus comme les deux variables étudiés les plus importantes pour prédire le comportement d’habilitation des leaders. Cette étude a des implications considérables pour le domaine du leadership. Pour une main d’oeuvre plus habilitée, il est recommandé que les programmes de leadership tentent à développer un concept de soi plus inclusive chez leurs leaders, pour ensuite leur céder accès au pouvoir. / Interest in employee empowerment persists given the wide range of positive individual and organizational outcomes associated with an empowered workforce. Psychologically empowered employees perform better (Ahearne et al., 2005), undertake extra-role behaviour (Den Hartog & De Hoogh, 2009; Raub & Robert, 2010), are more satisfied (Vecchio et al., 2010), are more intrinsically motivated (Chen et al., 2011; Zhang & Bartol, 2010), are more committed (Hassan et al., 2012; Konczak et al., 2000; Mare, 2007), and are more engaged (Tuckey et al., 2012). Despite these positive outcomes communicated to leaders, interventions fail to reach the expected results. Yet, existing research rarely examine empowerment from the view of the leader. This study attempts to fill this gap by elucidating on factors that contribute to our understanding of why certain leaders empower whereas others don’t. To that end, relational, personality and situational variables and their relationship with leader empowering behaviour were examined on a sample of leaders within seven ministries of a Canadian provincial government. It was found that the more inclusive the leader self-defines in his/her relationships at work, the more likely he/she is to empower subordinates. The personality attributes of honesty-humility (positively), moral identity (positively), and desire for dominance (negatively) were also found to be associated to leader empowering behaviour. Positional insecurity was found to negatively predict leader empowering behaviour. Furthermore, results reveal that leaders with a higher sense of power are more likely to empower, in divergence with the literature on power as a corrupting force (Kipnis, 1972; Maner & Mead, 2007). Also, contrary to expectation, the involvement trait of organizational culture was found to be unrelated to leader empowering behaviour. This finding is consistent with the research on power and it’s suppressing of contextual influences in favour of more internal traits to the leader (Galinsky et al., 2003). Leader sense of power and collective self-concept emerged as the two most important variables predicting leader empowering behaviour. This study has significant implications for the field of leadership. For a more empowering organization, it is recommended that leadership programs work to develop a more inclusive self-concept in their leaders, following which, they can be entrusted with more power.
