Outcome Criteria

Despite the well-known positive consequences of transformational coaches in sport, there is still little research exploring the mechanisms through which coaches’ transformational leadership exerts its impact on athletes. Multilevel SEM was used to examine the relationship between coaches’ transformational leadership style, a task-involving climate, and leadership effectiveness outcome criteria (i.e., players’ extra effort, coach effectiveness, and satisfaction with their coach), separately estimating between and within effects. A representative sample of 625 Spanish male soccer players ranging from 16 to 18 years old and nested in 50 teams completed a questionnaire package tapping the variables of interest. Results confirmed that at the team level, team perceptions of transformational leadership positively predicted teams’ perceptions of task climate, which in turn positively predicted the three outcome criteria. At the individual level, players’ perceptions of transformational leadership positively predicted teams’ perceptions of task climate, which in turn positively predicted teams’ extra effort and coach effectiveness. Mediation effects appeared at the team level for all the outcome criteria, and at the individual only for extra effort. Transformational leadership is recommended to enhance task climate, in order to increase players’ extra effort, their perceptions of the effectiveness of their coach, and their satisfaction with his/her leadership style.

The Relationship

The Middle East is a growing, lucrative marketplace that has recently captured the interest of the world for political as well as economic reasons due to the War in Iraq, which began in 2003. This exploratory study examines the relationship between retail small/medium enterprises (SMEs) that are family business owned, organizational commitment, and management and employee perceptions of customer service on a number of dimensions. The results suggest that managers and employees of family-owned businesses in the Middle East behave in ways similar to those in Western countries; however, there are differences, probably related to cultural characteristics. The Middle East is a richly diverse region, a myriad of unique cultures. As the market becomes more sophisticated, the importance of service quality increases. Global retailers can benefit from this study by better understanding the managers and employees in the region and the pivotal role of the family on business. Implications for practice are discussed.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on how investments in research and development (R&D) and advertising affect the performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) during recessions. Design/methodology/approach – Contingency theory is applied to a data set of 376 Italian clothing SMEs during the period 2000-2010 to test whether investment in R&D and advertising impacts financial performance differently when contingent factors (such as market share, financial leverage and business model change) are taken into account. Findings – Empirical results confirm that market share and leverage moderate the effects of investments in R&D and advertising (i.e. intangibles) on performance, and also that changes in business models are an important contingent factor that explains performance. Specifically, the paper ascertains that a novelty-centered business model, together with investments in intangibles, positively affects performance during recessions. Originality/value – This study offers an input to the debate on how SMEs develop and sustain their competitive advantage during the recession. It contributes to existent theory by showing whether and how contingencies, such as a firm's market share and leverage, moderate the relationship between performance and investments in R&D and advertising in SMEs. Second, it addresses the call for additional data “about the strategic effects of business models and how they influence the positioning of firms in their competitive environment” (Amit and Zott, 2008, p. 20) by introducing business model change/innovation as a new contingency factor and by empirically testing its effects on “objective measures of firm performance” (Bock et al., 2012, p. 301).

Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between individual focused and group focused Transformational Leadership and outcomes measured in terms of extra effort, effectiveness and satisfaction through an empirical survey in three Indian industry segments. Transformational leadership is a leadership form which is fully evolved. Leadership is essentially motivating others but not coercing them. The focus of transformational leadership is to change the thought process of the followers to enable them to contribute their might for the organization instead of seeking rewards from the organization. Transformational leadership was explained in detail by James M Burns and was further elaborated by Bass and Avolio as consisting of five leadership constructs ie idealized influence related to the leader’s behaviors, idealized influence related to the leader’s attributes, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Process- Correlation between Transformational leadership and its impact in motivating people has been an interesting subject to evaluate. Bass and Avolio developed MLQ ( Multi factor leadership questionnaire ) to carry out such a study. This survey was carried out in a large Indian Paper and Paperboard manufacturing division, a tobacco division and an agri division of an enterprise of repute in which about 326 managers participated and the survey findings were subjected to statistical analysis. Findings-Transformational leadership is reputed to enhance employee satisfaction, motivation, technological innovation, and leader effectiveness ratings. While all of these have been proved by the survey quoted above, it was interesting to note the relationship between Individual focused leadership and Group focused leadership and the outcomes measured in terms of extra effort, effectiveness and satisfaction. Research limitations-In the empirical survey carried out, participants were males which is a limitation caused by non availability of lady managers. Originality/value-The current research compared the individual constructs of the Leadership style in terms of Individual focused leadership and Group focused leadership and each of the outcomes in detail and established their relationship.

The Relationship

The paper examines the relationship between ownership concentrations and tax avoidance for small–medium enterprises (SMEs) in India. With a panel dataset built from small- and medium-sized enterprise surveys over the period between 2013 and 2014, we find that SMEs with concentrated ownership have a negative association with tax avoidance. The result is more pronounced for SMEs headquartered in states/provinces with stronger economic and institutional environment. The results also indicate that for any two SMEs with similar levels of ownership concentration, the SME with higher capital needs is more likely to avoid taxes.
