The Financial Crisis of 2008 not only impacted Wall Street but also the finance and insurance sectors in Taiwan. The significance of this financial downturn was such that even one of the largest and the most time-honored ¡§A¡¨ International Group could not escape hardship. The firm in question was a recipient of U.S. financial bailout by funding by the U.S. government. Due to the need to repay the loan, the ¡§N¡¨ Taiwan Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the U.S. ¡§A¡¨ International Group faced a major threat to its very existence: complete liquidation by the ¡§A¡¨ International Group. The parent ¡§A¡¨ International Group made the irrevocable decision to sell the ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company, as the only means by which a portion of the bailout loan could be covered. The impact of this decision was immediately felt in Taiwan. But the sale process nearly three years and finalized as a merger with a local investment firm. Considerable organizational change occurred within the ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company post-merger. It continued throughout the acquisitions period of the ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company by other entities. Through in-depth interviews with different levels of employees and actual customers of the ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company, the study analyzed how transformational leadership formed, and then actuated the organizational change which was to take place. In addition, this study offers a clear understanding of the connection between organizational change and overall performance by individual cases-by-case basis. The ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company faced a three-year reversal-of-fortunes during the merger period.

By implementing numerous plans in all key areas of the company, business production rose 283% within the subsequent six months, and regained the ¡§Top 3 Spot¡¨ in Taiwan¡¦s competitive insurance marketplace. This study is based on the ¡§N¡¨ Insurance Company. A transformational model is presented which originated from research on related business materials and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, the leadership is examined regarding how organizational change was affected, how leadership penetrated the entire organizational structure, and how it lead to a rapid transformation resulting in substantial benefit through a singular vision. It is hoped that this study will provide some practical strategies and valuable experiences of the role of transformational management during a time of financial calamity.

Leadership has been a foundational component of secondary agricultural education and teachers are recognized as the program leader; furthermore, agriculture teachers are expected to develop leadership in their students. However, research examining the leadership style of agriculture teachers has not been fully vetted. The purpose of this study was threefold: to examine transformational leadership in secondary agricultural education from philosophical, qualitative, and quantitative perspectives. The study was conducted through a qualitative case study of an agricultural education program at the local level and through a quantitative study of secondary agricultural educators at the national level. The philosophical portion of the study gave an overview of the agricultural education model and the transformational leadership approach. A dynamic model was developed for agricultural education which places an emphasis on the leadership approach of the agricultural educator. The Transformational Leadership and Community Impact (TLCI) Model was developed to provide a more holistic approach for operating a high quality secondary agricultural education program. The qualitative portion of the study was a case study to examine the leadership styles of two agriculture teachers in a high quality secondary agriculture program. The transformational leadership approach of Bass and Avolio provided the framework to explore the leadership styles of the agriculture teachers as perceived by those closely associated with the agriculture program. The results of this case study suggest that the transformational leadership style of the agriculture teachers was a positive and effective way to lead. The quantitative portion of the study sought to identify the preferred leadership style of a random sample of agricultural educators across the nation who taught secondary agriculture during the 2008-2009 school year. Data were collected online using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Descriptive statistics were used for reporting the demographic and personal characteristics of respondents. Mean scores were calculated to determine the leadership style and leadership factors of the agriculture teachers. The study concluded that secondary agricultural educators were more transformational in their preferred style in contrast to transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles. The highest mean score for a factor in transformational leadership was Individualized Consideration and the highest mean score for a factor in transactional leadership was Contingent Reward.

Extending Hambrick¡¦s(1994) concept of behavioral integration, a real ¡§team¡¨ doesn¡¦t focus on its team-orientation design, but on the interaction among its members. The concept of behavioral integration describes the key process of interaction among team members. Owing to the characteristics of task and social emotional interdependence, some work units need to work as teams to complete their task. The article concludes related surveys, and constructs a theoretical framework. Using survey data from 100 basic work units, the researcher tests the structural model by applying structural equation method (SEM). Although not every hypothesis has been supported by sample, transformational leadership is positively related to team behavioral integration. Besides, the relation between behavioral integration, team conflicts and learning is found.

This research is to understand the relationships among the transformational leadership, organization political awareness, role pressure and job satisfaction from the aspect of electronic media professionals. Under the theory of Organizational behavior, ¡§leadership behavior¡¨ and ¡§organization culture¡¨ are important aspects of the organization behavior. Broadcasting organizations and news professionals are working under complex social restrains. Gallagher (1994:240) media organization news department consists of new reporters and managers. Managers have the authorities to reward and punish, and various level of access to sensitive knowledge and decision making. Managers and reporters are both members of the media organizations, once they are in the organization, they become members that depend on each other instead of unrelated individuals. They often need to cooperate through compromises. Under the influence of the new media managers¡¦ leadership style and organization political awareness, it is important to understand how to increase the job satisfaction level of the employees. In Taiwan¡¦s accelerated capitalization trend, news reporters need to have a clear focus of these issues in order to breakthrough the current bottleneck of the electronic media industry. And to promote job satisfaction and accomplish the goals of the organization. This study was sampled based on the news professionals of the electronic media organizations in the southern Taiwan region including Chia-Yi, Tainan, Pin-Tung, and southern Kaoushing area. The rapid sampling methods was used based on 155 surveys, 39 of the samples are invalid, therefore 74.8% with 116 valid samples. Utilizing factor analysis, double cycle analysis, t-test, and ANOVA analysis, the study was concluded as following: (1) There is positive relationship among transformational leadership, organization political awareness, role pressure and job satisfaction. (2) Transformational leadership has partial significant effect on organization political awareness and role pressure. (3) Transformational leadership has partial significant effect on job satisfaction. (4) Organization political awareness and role pressure has partial significant effect on job satisfaction. (5) The transformational leadership, organization political awareness, role pressure and job satisfaction have unique result when applied on different test individual.

With the intensified competition in the world¡¦s economy, the globalization of business has become the only way to ensure its growth. At the same time, expatriates actually play a very important role. Moreover, as global operations increase, so does the emphasis on adaptability outside the home country for expatriates. Experience has indicated that the problem of adaptability for expatriates is Work-Family Conflict. The fact reveals the important of research on expatriate¡¦s leadership and effectiveness. Over the last decade and a half, transformational leadership with its emphasis on vision, development of the individual empowerment and challenging traditional assumptions has become a popular model of leadership in business organizations. It means that transformational leadership in organizational settings has undergone a significant evolution in terms of both theory development and empirical investigations. In the area of transformational leadership, much attention has been given to Bass and Avolio¡¦s research. Bass and Avolio proposed that transformational leadership comprises four dimensions ¡V the ¡§Four I¡¦s¡¨ ¡G1.Charismatic Leadership 2.Inspirational Motivation 3.Intellectural Stimulation 4.Individualized Consideration. Transformational leadership is different from the traditional command-and-control approach (transactional leadership). Transactional leadership is based on bureaucratic authority and legitimacy within the organization. Transactional leaders emphasize work standards and task-oriented goals. In addition, Transactional leaders tend to focus on task completion and employee compliance, and these leaders rely quite heavily on organizational rewards and punishments to influence employee performance. On the other hand, transformational leaders motivate followers by appealing to higher ideals and moral values. Transformational leaders must be able to define and articulate a vision for their organizations, and the followers must accept the credibility of the leader. In the managerial practices, a transformational leader must: 1.Setting a good personal example, move quick and decisively. 2.Develop and communicate a vision and a plan. 3.Releasing the potential of everyone involved in the change to help them to rise to the challenge. 4.Create productive working conditions, provide employees continuous skill development and encourage them rapid learning and adaptation. Another important article of organizational behavior is organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has been seen as one of the most important variables in the study of management and organizational behavior in the last three decades. One of the key reasons is that organizational commitment is highly correlated with turnover intentions, which have an important effect on employees¡¦ behaviors. Therefore, both organizational commitment and turnover intentions are important employee attitudes in maintaining a productive workforce. In addition, many researches have indicated that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are all significant correlates of organizational citizenship behavior. Today¡¦s competitive business environment demands employees who are good citizens- individuals willing to extend themselves to help coworkers and their employers. Organizational citizenship behavior is expressed in actions that show an unselfish concern for the welfare of others. A recent study found that the extent to which employees engage in ¡§good organizational citizenship behavior¡¨ is just as important as their productivity in advancing their careers. Good behavior includes: 1.altruism 2.courtesy 3.civic virtue. In this study, we use transformational leadership as independent variables, organizational commitment as intermediate variables and organizational citizenship behavior as dependent variables. The purpose of this research is mainly to find out the relationship and difference among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Using a sample of multinational companies who have subsidiaries operating in Taiwan, we test a set of hypotheses among the variables. Then, the effective questionnaires have been analyzed by factor analysis, descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation. The results of this research indicated that: 1. Individual variables do have significant difference on transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. 2. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational commitment. 3. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 4. Organizational commitment has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 5. Transformational leadership and organizational commitment have positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. The organizational commitment is the important key to enhance the positive relation between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. According to the results, some suggestions are made for both industries and further researchers in this field. 1. To the industries: Leaders must emphasize the transformational leadership¡¦s skill, in order to increase employees¡¦ organizational commitment and present organizational citizenship behavior. 2. To the further researchers: ¡]1¡^To research the relationship between ethics and transformational leadership. ¡]2¡^To research the relationship and difference of cross-culture among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Key word: Expatriate, Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
