Abstract

The concept of sustainable leadership is increasingly gaining popularity among organizational scholars. However, empirical evidences for the effectiveness of sustainable leadership are still lacking. This study investigated whether and how diverse elements of sustainable leadership influence the effectiveness of organization. Analyzing the large data collected from the employees of diverse U.S. federal agencies, this study found that sustainable leadership practices explained a significant variance of diverse aspects of organizational effectiveness. However, the different elements of sustainable leadership influenced the different aspects of organizational effectiveness to a different degree. The results showed that the relative strengths of the effects of each element of sustainable leadership differed across different aspects of organizational effectiveness. For example, promoting work/life balance was the most significant predictors of employee satisfaction, while its effect diminished when investigated against other aspects of organizational effectiveness.

可持续领导：对其对组织有效性影响的实证研究1

可持续领导的概念越来越受到组织学者的欢迎。然而，可持续领导有效性的实证证据仍然缺乏。本研究探讨永续领导的不同要素是否及如何影响组织效能。本研究分析了从美国不同联邦机构的员工收集的大量数据，发现可持续的领导实践解释了组织有效性的各个方面的显著差异。然而，可持续领导的不同要素在不同程度上影响了组织有效性的不同方面。结果表明，可持续领导各要素的相对强度在组织效能的不同方面存在差异。例如，促进工作/生活平衡是员工满意度的最重要预测因素，而当与组织效率的其他方面进行调查时，其效果就会减弱。
