Can Leaders Influence a Learning Organization? An Exploratory Study of the Relationship Between Leadership, Organizational Learning Capability and the Mediating Role of Trust

Grover, Ira Ann 13 September 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to study how organizations maintain their competitive advantage in today’s turbulent and highly competitive business environment, by striving to become a learning organization. The impact of factors such as leadership (both transformational and transactional leadership) and trust on an organization’s learning capability is empirically examined. This research adds to the existing body of literature in two ways. First, it argues that a transactional leadership style can influence learning, despite research spanning the last decade that has focused on transformational leadership theory as the dominant model of effective leadership. Therefore, the importance of both leadership styles, each having valuable differential effects is emphasized in this study. Second, the previously untested role of trust as mediating the relationship between leadership and organizational learning capability is examined. It is argued that without supervisor trust, the opportunities for a learning organization to reach its full potential and to subsequently develop learning capabilities is reduced. Findings from this study support the influence of both leadership styles on learning. Trust in one’s supervisor was also found to fully mediate the relationship between leadership and learning.

The Impact of Leader Style on Job Performance- Take Psychological Contract as the Moderator

Tsai, Shu-chun 29 March 2010 (has links)
Abstract Due to personal experience, I¡¦m interested in the impact of the leading style on the employees. When I was reading related research, I found that the leading style didn¡¦t show positive correlation on job performance when using the relation-oriented and job-oriented as the independent variable. Modern research support transactional leadership and transformational leadership. Therefore I took leading style as the independent variable, job performance as the dependent variable and the moderating variable is psychological contract. Descriptive statistics, reliability, factor-analysis, Pearson correlation and regression were chosen for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The result is shown as the following: 1. Transactional leadership and transformational leadership have positive impact on job performance. 1.1 Transactional leadership and transformational leadership have positive correlation impact and significant impact on task performance. 1.2 Transformational leadership has positive correlation impact and significant impact on contextual performance. 2. Psychological contract has different impact on job performance. 2.1 On task performance 2.1.1 Balanced contract has positive correlation impact and significant impact on task performance. 2.1.2 Relational contract has positive correlation impact and no significant impact on task performance. 2.1.3 Transactional contract has negative correlation impact and no significant impact on task performance. 2.2 On contextual impact 2.2.1 Balanced contract has positive correlation impact and significant impact on task performance. 2.2.2 Relational contract has positive correlation impact and no significant impact on task performance. 2.2.3 Transactional contract has negative correlation impact and no significant impact on task performance. 3.Psychological contract has positive correlation with leading style and job performance. 3.1Relational contract has negative moderating effect between transformational leadership and task performance. 3.2 Relational contract has negative moderating effect between transformational leadership and contextual performance.

A Practical Study on Commanding Behavior and Power Bases of Female Naval Officers¡ÐSamples taken from female officers serving on warships of the R.O.C Navy

Sun, Jyh-Whei 15 August 2001 (has links)
A Practical Study on Commanding Behavior and Power Bases of Female Naval Officers¡XSamples taken from female officers serving on warships of the R.O.C. Navy Abstract In recent years, due to the popularity of education and the variation of traditional concepts, employment opportunities are wide open to women. In other words, it has become the main stream to welcome ¡§woman power¡¨ into all walks of life. There is no exception for the Ministry of National Defense (MND). In the past, professional officers were all males. Military academies admitted only male students. A few years ago, the MND, adjusting to the world trend, made major academies open to female students in order to cultivate female officers who would be serving in the military. In 1994, for the first time, the following academies admitted female students: the Military Academy, the Naval Academy, the National Management College and the Chung-cheng College of Science & Engineering. Now, female officers have been an important part of the military personnel. Since modern politics, society and technology have become more and more complicated, how to successfully lead is a branch of art and science. The commanding modes of female military officers have formed a newly-rising research field and need to be studied continuously. The essence of leadership is derived from influence, which means ¡§power¡¨ in the broad sense. This study is based on two theories. One is the theory of transformational leadership and transactional leadership advocated by Bass in 1985. The other is the power bases advocated by French & Raven in 1959. This study is focusing on the commanding behavior and power bases of female naval officers serving on warships. Through the study with logical analyses and practical experiments, it is hoped that female Naval officers can clearly understand how they practise their leadership and power. Furthermore, the study can help them establish their own successful and unique commanding styles. Questionnaires and interviews were done with female officers who had been serving in the Navy for one or two years. There are three important points found as follows: (1) Regarding the factors of the transformational leadership and transactional leadership, no significant difference is shown between male and female Naval officers. Officers of both sexes use both types of leadership although female officers have a slight preference for transformational leadership. (2) In practising power bases, officers of both sexes are almost the same although female officers have a little tendency to use reference power and expert power. (3) The relation between commanding behavior and power bases of female naval officers is significantly positive. Key words: transformational leaderhsip & transactional leadership, power bases, Female officers

The Influence of the Principal's Leadership Style on Teachers' Use of Technology in the Instruction of Secondary Mathematics and English

Schulter, Daniel Joseph January 2006 (has links)
The study sought to advance knowledge between leadership style and teacher's use of technology. This quantitative research study investigated the relationship between principal leadership style determined by the MLQ (Bass & Avolio, 1989) and the perceived Role Messages (Katz & Kahn, 1978) teachers' receive about the use of technology in English and Mathematics. The Role Messages teachers receive from the principal influence the teachers' use of technology. A qualitative instrument, The Role Message Perception Interview for Administrator (RMPI-A) was used to confirm principal's leadership style in the transformation, transactional, and passive/avoidant areas.A transformational leader builds trust, inspires teachers, acts with integrity, encourages innovative thinking, and coaches people to move the teachers to a higher level of commitment. A transactional leader is more concerned with monitoring for mistakes and rewarding achievement. A passive/avoidant leader chooses to use his time dealing with crises and avoids involvement (Bass & Avolio, 1994). Sixty-three teachers of Mathematics and English at each of the five urban high schools responded to the Perceived Role Message Survey for Teachers (RMPS-T), a 56-question survey about the use of technology. The principal's leadership style was compared to their teachers' perception among the five high schools. The responses by teachers on the RMPS-T for the transformational sub-section showed significant differences among teacher responses on school culture (p = 0.0159), there were no other significant differences among transformational sub-sections. On the transactional sub-section showed significant differences among teacher responses on evaluator monitors (p = 0.122), and differences among the my principal rewards me sub-section, but not significant (p = 0.009). On the passive/avoidant the sub-section there were no significant differences.The study sought to show connection between teachers' gender, age, subject taught, the number of college credits earned, and the number of hours of professional development when compared to the number of uses of technology. The findings showed a difference among teacher responses based on gender, but not significant. There were no other significant differences. The results will assist high school principals in understanding how leadership style can impact the use of technology.
