Abstract

Leadership has been extensively studied in organizational contexts, with numerous theories examining how leaders influence success and employee engagement. Most recently, integrating organizational purpose—the core reason for an organization’s existence—into leadership has garnered substantial interest, resulting in the underdeveloped concept of Purpose-Driven Leadership. This paper presents a systematic review of Purpose-Driven Leadership in organizations. We employed the PRISMA guidelines and searched WoS and SCOPUS, identifying 58 relevant research papers for inclusion in our review. The success of Purpose-Driven Leadership, as a nexus of individual and organizational purposes, hinges on defining and implementing an organizational purpose that resonates at all levels, based on the inverted pyramid of purpose, from overarching organization to individual roles. Our review suggests several positive outcomes associated with Purpose-Driven Leadership. These include increased work engagement, where employees are more invested in their roles; enhanced organizational commitment, reflecting stronger loyalty to the organization; improved employee performance, demonstrating higher productivity and effectiveness; and overall organizational performance. Additionally, this leadership approach promotes a cohesive and motivated workforce by aligning individual goals with the broader organizational purpose, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Several moderators were also identified, including effective purpose communication, impact perception, autonomy, and balance of work–life.
探索目的驱动型领导:组织背景下的理论基础、机制和影响
领导力在组织环境中得到了广泛的研究,有许多理论探讨了领导者如何影响组织的成功和员工的参与。最近,将组织目标--组织存在的核心理由--融入领导力的研究引起了人们的极大兴趣,由此产生了 "目标驱动型领导力 "这一尚未充分发展的概念。本文对组织中的 "目的驱动型领导力 "进行了系统综述。我们采用了 PRISMA 准则,搜索了 WoS 和 SCOPUS,确定了 58 篇相关研究论文纳入综述。目标驱动型领导力是个人和组织目标的结合点,其成功与否取决于组织目标的定义和实施,该目标应能在从总体组织到个人角色的倒金字塔型目标的基础上,引起各个层面的共鸣。我们的研究表明,"目的驱动型领导力 "能带来若干积极成果。这些成果包括:工作投入度提高,员工对自己的角色更加投入;组织承诺增强,反映出员工对组织的忠诚度更高;员工绩效改善,显示出更高的生产力和效率;以及组织整体绩效提高。此外,这种领导方法还能使个人目标与更广泛的组织目标保持一致,培养协作和创新文化,从而促进员工队伍的凝聚力和积极性。研究还发现了一些调节因素,包括有效的目的沟通、影响感知、自主性和工作与生活的平衡。
