Although ‘new’ leadership models (e.g. authentic, ethical, and servant leadership) suggest theoretical differences, empirical research has shown considerable overlap among these models and longer standing ones such as transformational leadership. With extant literature questioning the added empirical value of these newer models, this paper aims to distil the best evidence about transformational leadership into a ‘primer’ that can help practitioners use evidence-led practices in their leadership development. To do so, we briefly review major leadership models, highlight evidence for empirical redundancy between new leadership models and transformational leadership, and discuss meta-analytic findings between transformational leadership and outcomes of leadership. Our review suggests that these newer leadership models add little incremental validity beyond transformational leadership in predicting various leadership outcomes. Moreover, transformational leadership demonstrates medium to large effect sizes on a range of individual, team, and organisational outcomes. Taken together, our findings suggest that organisations can benefit by focusing their resources on transformational leadership development, rather than on the latest leadership fad.","PeriodicalId":47369,"journal":{"name":"HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44005632","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}

We have all been affected by the pandemic and its consequences for work, life and beyond. A central feature of national lockdowns was to protect the public, hence many of us had to work fully from home. This is an experience that we will probably never see again in our lifetime. Most certainly, working from home has shifted the debate on organisational life regardless of industry, role and national context. We have now significant experience of remote working (Li, Ghosh, and Nachmias 2020) with specific desires regarding future work patterns. As we emerge from the pandemic, remote working has become more normalised, more entrenched, and more desired by most professionals. Many scholars highlighted the transition to flexible online working caused by the pandemic and the benefits associated with this form of working (i.e. Shirmohammadi, Au, and Beigi 2022; Teevan 2021; Li, Ghosh, and Nachmias 2020; McGuire, Germain, and Reynolds 2021). The pandemic and stay-at-home orders created uncharted territory for remote working and how to manage employees in a hybrid working environment. It puts Human Resource Development (HRD) professionals at the centre of organisational design to address unprecedented changes at work. As the dust settles, the question is to what extent this emerging, novel form of organising work can be maintained in the longer-term. We have all seen reports in the news that many organisations have called employees back to the office, indicating a desire to revert to the ‘normal way of working’. There is certainly a strong desire to normalise the working environment, with some organisations endorsing the productivity benefits accruing from physical interactive working environments. For example, the CEO of Goldman Sachs expressed his scepticism about the efficiency of remote working whilst others have shown a longer-term openness to embracing flexible working through redesigning their work settings. This shows that the business environment is currently a frenzied zone. A state of excitement for some and a state of fear for others. On the one hand, we have the newbies (new to work-life balance) who have shown an unwillingness to compromise. After months of remote working, they have now become veterans (experienced in flexible work) (Li, Ghosh, and Nachmias 2020) with a desire to maintain a flexible working pattern post pandemic. Interestingly, working remotely for a long time has created several work habits that many professionals are not willing to give up easily. We all know that remote working reduces distractions and commute times, thus providing greater flexibility to employees. For some others, remote working has helped satisfy personal lifestyle goals by relocating to more affordable locations. For others, flexible working offers a more productive pattern of work.

An important element of many organisational practices today, action learning has been researched widely and consistently over several decades. The purpose of this study was to elaborate upon the changing landscape of action learning research and practice through a systematic literature review. Employing selection criteria to control for the quality of the articles, we identified 65 empirical action learning studies published 2008–2021. Five key themes were identified to be most prominent in terms of presence and quality: action learning in higher education, action learning research, entrepreneurial action learning, critical action learning, and virtual action learning. In an analysis of the five key themes, we used Coghlan and Coughlan’s four quality criteria for research on action learning: engagement with problems, collaboration with organisational members and stakeholders, reflection on the iterative cycles of an action learning process, and actionable outcomes. This systematic review presents the changing landscape of action learning research and practice manifested in five themes and provides an informed outlook, with expanded scopes and possibilities, to envision the future.","PeriodicalId":47369,"journal":{"name":"HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL","volume":"26 1","pages":"378 - 404"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44549796","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}

HRD professionals learn to challenge their political context through CHRD teaching and research in the ‘safe space’ of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Yet, the increasingly global discourse of New Public Management (NPM), associated with what we call new performance measurement, constrains engagement with CHRD. This paper demonstrates the impact of NPM and research performance measurement on HRD scholarship, CHRD agendas, HRD professional development and HRD practice through discourse analysis of Impact Case Studies and their underpinning research as presented in the UK government’s 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). Use of national research evaluations with a focus on impact is currently spreading across the globe, and so is of international significance. We identify that although CHRD is consistently adopted in underpinning academic research publications it does not transfer into written impact cases. We conclude that context has the power to silence CHRD, and we challenge CHRD scholars to seek alternative formats to inform practice that do not disguise potential negative impacts. We also caution that silencing critical academic voice diminishes the ability of pedagogic curriculum to challenge and enhance HRD practice.","PeriodicalId":47369,"journal":{"name":"HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL","volume":"26 1","pages":"356 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47317780","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}

We particularly examined how this relationship is mediated by organizational trust (OGT) and organizational pride (OP). Data were collected from 144 Lebanese workers who completed measures of VL, OCB, OGT, and OP. Data were analysed using sequential mediation analysis. Significant relationships were found between VL and OCB, while we identified a sequential mediation of OGT and OP between VL and OCB. Thus, organizations wishing to foster OCB need to develop a clear business vision, strengthen trust, and develop practical measures of pride to ensure a high level of OCB that in turn positively impacts organizational outcomes. Through the lens of the social exchange theory (SET), this research makes an original contribution towards the role of VL in supporting OCB through developing trust and pride at the organizational level. We also provide insightful organizational recommendations related to the results.","PeriodicalId":47369,"journal":{"name":"HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL","volume":"26 1","pages":"264 - 291"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43631443","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}
