{"title":"How Ethical Leadership Limits Organizational Deviance, and Promotes Organizational Citizenship Behavior: A Mediatory Role of Affective Commitment Complemented by Ethical Conviction and Reputation for Performance.","authors":"Habeeba Masood, D. Siddiqui","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3757448","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3757448","url":null,"abstract":"Despite numerous researches on ethical leadership, literature still lacks the researches on boundary conditions that limit its effectiveness. Thus, the present study examines the relationship between ethical leadership (EL) and organizational deviance via first-order mediation of affective commitment to the organization, as a reflection of the quality of the employee–organization relationship. Using Social learning & Exchange theories and group engagement models, we also examined the EL effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) through organizational deviance as a second-order mediator. We also propose that this relationship is conditional on the supervisor’s reputation for performance (i.e., the moral standards are coupled with work effectiveness), and Perceived Leader Ethical Conviction. For the, we modified Neves and Story (2015) model to further extend to OCB while adding a moderator. OCB was measured in both Individual & organizational context. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 286 corporate employees from different sectors, working in Pakistan, and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. The results suggested that EL seems to exert a positive impact on Affective commitment, this would in turn have a negative effect on organizational deviance. Affective commitment also seems to have a positive effect on both OCB of individuals and organizations. Understandably, organizational deviance seems to be negatively affecting both OCBs. We also witnessed a positive complementary effect of Reputation for Performance in EL and affective commitment nexus. Hence, the positive relationship between ethical leadership and affective commitment is more pronounced when leaders have a high reputation for performance. Hence, results imply that organizations have to pay attention to the moral values and standards of supervisors and leaders, as they are significant role models due to their ability to reward or punish employees.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133640933","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}

Emotional intelligence is the state of mind how a person behaves rationally and logically in variety of emotional setup. The impact of emotional intelligence varies with profile and level of jobs. The study shows that the higher EI is highly related to greater accomplishment of jobs as we proceed to superior job responsibility. In the organizational hierarchy, the mid-level professionals are in between and focal layer of both the top-down and bottom-up approach. The rapid changes of roles as a mediating agent between top management, lower management and at the same time to play the role of transforming agent of the instructions from higher-ups to the lower ends are the testimony of high emotional intelligence behavioural components. \u0000 \u0000The paper has attempted to unearth how the emotional intelligence are related to the career success particularly for the mid-level executives in the north-eastern region. This paper is empirical in nature based on primary as well as secondary information. The study result reflects that emotional intelligence has significant impact on achieving subjective career success among the respondents in the study region. However, the intensity of the impact (R2 value) may vary with the changing prospective of organizational climate and other temporal factors.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129886073","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}

Popova","doi":"10.17323/jle.2019.9934","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17323/jle.2019.9934","url":null,"abstract":"This research study is aimed at investigating distributed leadership practices in the Russian school system, of which professional teacher associations (PTA) constitute a distinct feature. In particular, we set out to investigate the PTA leadership potential, as well as the role and specific personal characteristics of middle leaders in the Russian school education system. These associations are formed by the school administration on the basis of subject areas, bringing together teachers of maths, history, etc. Teachers join PTAs on a voluntarily basis. The key function of such organisations consists in the implementation of innovative educational approaches and techniques. In order to analyse their leadership potential, we carried out a sociological survey among the employees of high-profile secondary schools (gymnasiums and lyceums) situated in the major Russian city of Ekaterinburg. The research methodology comprised structured interviews with 110 respondents, along with in-depth interviews with 2 school directors, 4 school deputy directors and 6 heads of professional teacher associations. Our results show that the fundamentals and principles of distributed leadership are actively implemented in Ekaterinburg schools. The school administrations encourage the creation of professional teacher associations grouped around subject areas, delegating to these structural units the functions of improving the quality of teaching the respective subjects and disseminating educational innovations, at the same time as fulfilling the requirements of the state and regional education authorities. Such associations are headed by middle leaders, who are nominated by their colleagues and whose candidacy is approved by school seniors, taking into account their professional achievements, experience of leading pedagogical innovations and the presence of the right personal qualities necessary for productive collaborative work. These people perform the role of mediators, operating at the interface between various levels within the school. Although viewed as a school’s personnel reserve for the positions of principals and head teachers, our respondents consider themselves to be ‘more teachers’ or ‘innovators in education’ than administrators. The development of the leadership qualities of such professionals in the Russian school system is shown to be hindered by a ‘glass ceiling’ – a certain limit in their career growth. This discouraging factor results in some middle school leaders searching for professional self-realization opportunities outside the school system, in the spheres of business, science or culture that are believed to provide more opportunities for self-advancement.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128811464","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}

{"title":"Exploring Millennial Leadership Development: A Rapid Evidence Assessment of Information Communication Technology and Reverse Mentoring Competencies","authors":"Alissa E. Harrison","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2866879","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2866879","url":null,"abstract":"Building organizations that promote innovative leadership development require forward-thinking direction from the upper-most levels of an organization. Currently, many executives adhere to the tenets of a traditional model which develops leaders who serve the organizational goals. An essential element of a firm’s competitiveness is the ability to attract, retain, and develop high potential employees. In reviewing primary literature, this paper focuses on empirical studies that respond to the research question, how can managers use innovator competencies to affect developing innovative Millennial leaders? A rapid evidence assessment (REA) offers a methodology for quickly gathering and assessing evidence to determine the need for future research. Based on evidence from a REA of 11 primary studies, the review suggests that information computer technology (ICT) and reverse mentoring promote horizontal competency development. Additionally, the research indicates that ICT and reverse mentoring encourage vertical or the stages of leadership competency development that influence innovation. In combining Prahalad and Hamel’s (1990) theory of a firm’s core competency with Howe and Strauss’ (2007) generational cohort theory, this study offers insights for organizational leaders in developing the future innovator workforce leaders. Implications presented of ICT and reverse mentoring for Millennials in today’s competitive organizational environment serve to bridge the gap between needed leadership competencies and building these needed innovator skills in this cohort. With findings that suggest that generational characteristics are associated with ICT and reverse mentoring, this review contributes to theory by extending the understanding of organizational innovation through developing Millennial leader competencies. Future research should investigate how other competencies factor to position organizations to develop a more strategic and innovative workforce.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131183276","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}
