Participants are assigned to teams, with one person appointed as the leader. The leader has the power to commit to a monitoring option, which replaces the default equal sharing rule with one that distributes team revenue in proportion to individual investments. Additionally, the leader can announce a claim to a portion of the team revenue, which is paid before shares are distributed. Theoretically, there are multiple equilibria involving monitoring and full investment, characterized by the largest claim the non-leaders are willing to cede to the leader. We appeal to fairness concerns and repeated interaction in order to provide sharper predictions that pivot around a `fair claim'. In the experiments, leaders are mostly unsuccessful at increasing team production as they claim too much or forgo the monitoring option too often, especially when it is costly to monitor. When there is no cost, nearly half of the leaders successfully increase team production towards full investment, by relying on constant monitoring and resisting the temptation to issue unfair claims. These results highlight the potential for opportunistic incentives to undermine efficiency-enhancing leadership, even when the leader can commit to her decisions.","PeriodicalId":332114,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Leadership (Topic)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128961269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our model, the effects of trade disruptions are stronger with more distance to the leader and more openness. A collapse today (less distance, more openness) similar to the IWTC (more distance, less openness) decreases the capital stock thrice as much (12% instead of 4%).

We analyze the opportunity costs in terms of a potentially reduced publication productivity associated with becoming a dean in the German institutional setting where deans are non-professional expert-leaders who temporarily take the dean position. Theoretically, we distinguish between two different effects that relate deanship and publication productivity: a resource effect where publication productivity during and – as a result of potentially having developed a taste for service –also post deanship decrease as a result of a reduction of the available time for research and a self-selection effect where pre-deanship publication productivity is lower than that of peers who are not about to become dean. Based on a dataset of 1,110 business and economics researchers from German-speaking universities, we find evidence for a resource effect with leadership in academia reducing research productivity during and also post deanship. We find no evidence of a negative self-selection effect in the sense of less successful researchers being more likely to take the position of a dean. Reduced research productivity during and post deanship as compared to those researchers that never became dean is driven by those researchers who become dean in later periods of their career, i.e., presumably by those who deliberately shift their focus away from research and towards a stronger engagement in the scientific community in their late career years. Early career deans, on the contrary, seem to see their deanship more as a transitory role and are able to compensate the reduced resources during deanship, and they also do not suffer from a reduced publication productivity post deanship.","PeriodicalId":332114,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Leadership (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125382599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In transitional societies fragmentation of the political élite leads to slackening of the vertical intra-élite control, as well as to the erosion of hierarchical envelopes of the power resource organization; as a result, various forces pretend to the positions of domination in the political system of the country, or maybe some region. In these conditions the role of personal aims and ambitions is high. The need to study the nature of leadership in the transitive system appeared in the process of studying the factors that influence deviant behavior of individual elements of the political system or its subsystems. The problem for research is whether the leader can be a factor that exerts influence on the direction of development of the transitive system.","PeriodicalId":332114,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Leadership (Topic)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126981589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(i.e., empirical relationships between quantitative results and the actions taken). We argue that, on the contrary, virtues are crucial for competent decision-making, mainly if we take a dynamic, long-run view of the organization. We then analyze virtues, knowledge, and the relationship between them, to show the interrelationships between prudence, practical wisdom and justice. We argue that the unity of virtues, while it is a desirable end, may have to be acquired through practice, and that, for that purpose, justice has to be the main priority. Justice will then help to develop prudence and, with the other virtues incorporated as well, provide a better future for the organization in all its aspects.","PeriodicalId":332114,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Leadership (Topic)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131119589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to avoid common method variance, two sources of data were collected from the restaurant operation supervisors and their subordinates separately. Hypotheses of the study contended that Korean leadership style, in particular the relational dimensions, i.e. relationship with the superiors (upward adaptability), peers (lateral harmony) and subordinates (downward benevolence), would enhance subordinates’ creativity. It is postulated that subordinates would role model after their supervisors’ relational behaviors and work collectively and harmoniously with their working group, underpinned by the Korean unique “cheong”, “woori” emotional phenomena and the “can do” competitive spirit. In the process, the subordinates would de-individualize and adjust their behavior to meet their supervisors’ and group business goals. Consequently, the subordinates would make it their priority to think of better and improved creative ways to execute. The results of regression analyses revealed that the relational dimensions of the Korean leadership style were positively related to subordinates’ creativity, and the subordinates\" perceived supervisor support was shown to fully mediate. Implications of the study results were discussed along with study limitations and future directions of research.","PeriodicalId":332114,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Leadership (Topic)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117290923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
