Abstract

This study draws on three well-established streams of leadership research: transformational leadership, servant leadership, and five-factor personality theory and applies them to the labor union context. The study tested the relationship between these theories and both leader and union effectiveness. The sample consisted of 240 respondents who rated the leadership of 60 participants in the 2018 and 2019 Harvard Trade Union Program. Results indicated that the best predictors of both leader effectiveness and union effectiveness were the transformational and servant leadership styles. In contrast with other research, the five-factor personality variables (extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness, and agreeableness) had no significant relationship with leadership effectiveness after controlling for the leadership style models. Only two of the five personality variables, extraversion and emotional stability, were related to union effectiveness after controlling for the effects of transformational and servant leadership. Discussion includes implication for labor educators.

有效的工会领导:来自哈佛工会项目的证据

本研究借鉴了变革型领导、仆人型领导和五因素人格理论这三大领导力研究流派，并将其应用于工会情境。该研究测试了这些理论与领导和工会效率之间的关系。该样本由240名受访者组成，他们对2018年和2019年哈佛工会计划的60名参与者的领导力进行了评分。结果表明，变革型领导风格和服务型领导风格对领导效能和工会效能的影响最大。与其他研究相比，在控制了领导风格模型后，外向性、尽责性、情绪稳定性、开放性和亲和性五因素人格变量与领导有效性的关系不显著。在控制了变革型领导和仆人型领导的影响后，五个人格变量中只有外向性和情绪稳定性两个变量与工会有效性相关。讨论包括对劳动教育者的启示。

期刊介绍： The Labor Studies Journal is the official journal of the United Association for Labor Education and is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing research on work, workers, labor organizations, and labor studies and worker education in the US and internationally. The Journal is interested in manuscripts using a diversity of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, directed at a general audience including union, university, and community based labor educators, labor activists and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. As a multi-disciplinary journal, manuscripts should be directed at a general audience, and care should be taken to make methods, especially highly quantitative ones, accessible to a general reader.
