Confluence of Workplace Spirituality and Leadership

Recent interest in the subject of workplace spirituality and leadership emphasizes the integrative potential of spirituality in the workplace as a means of increasing cohesiveness and leadership effectiveness. Relatively little attention has, so far, been devoted to how spirituality could act as a force of developing leadership effectiveness within organizations. Since workplace spirituality and leadership together are in a developing phase of postmodern discourse, the bridge between the two needs to be narrowed down by identifying the reasons for the evident disconnection between workplace outcomes and leadership spirituality and probing possible moderators and mediators of this relationship. The chapter encapsulates the existing research evidence on spirituality and leadership effectiveness to identify the future research agenda in the area. The review reveals that workplace spirituality and leadership share a significant positive relationship and that improving the core areas of spirituality can improve various dimensions of leadership.

Guidelines for Effectively Studying the Behavior of Leaders in the Tourism Sector Using Interactionism Model from a Strategic Management Perspective

The interactionism model is strongly connected to the theory of leadership effectiveness as a secondary concept of psycho-behavioral science that is extensively used today to support leaders in various professions, including tourism management, implying that strategic leadership qualities are a behavior capable of adapting to change and guiding the organization to reach its highest goals. Hence, this article explains the theoretical relationship between the interactionism model, leadership effectiveness theory, and McKinsey 7s framework concepts in tourism management and proposes an integrated research framework as a guideline for Thai scholars to investigate leadership behavior in the future under the conditions of tourism management. This study suggests combining the two ideas using a structural model analysis (SEM) framework due to its findings. The situational leadership effectiveness is categorized as part of the interactionism model, which focuses on two dimensions of leadership behavior: LPC psychological element and situational governance. It has been augmented by leaders’ circumstances or the working environment because of the study's context-specific situations, namely, tourist management. Consequently, a connection between leadership and strategic management was discovered.

Integrating HRM and Leadership: A Proposed Framework for Effective Leadership in Contemporary Organization

Despite the bulk of studies in the domain of leadership, there is still a dearth of agreement over what makes leaders effective. The objective of the present study is to address this gap by devising a model for leadership effectiveness in light of previous studies. The basic premise of the framework presented in this study is the same as Contingency leadership theory (Fiedler, 1964; 1967). To be successful, managers need to implement different leadership styles in different situations and that a particular leadership style would be most effective in specific circumstances. It is proposed that managers need to implement transactional or transformational leadership style and adopt associated HRM practices depending upon the level of LMX relationship which might lead to effective leadership in an organization. Effective people management requires that HR practices should be applied by a manager with a matching and consistent leadership style. Leadership effectiveness is enhanced if a manager uses a leadership style with supportive HR practices that best matches a particular group of subordinates. Moreover; uncovering the underlying relationship between HRM and leadership will help refine current methodological approaches in this area, guiding theoretical improvement and policy development related to HRM and leadership.

Machiavellian Leader Effectiveness

Research on the effectiveness of Machiavellian leaders has found contradictory results. By linking socioanalytic and trait activation theory to the Machiavellianism and leadership literature, we argue that political skill may explain these findings by moderating the relation between Machiavellianism and leadership effectiveness. Using a multisource design and moderated mediation analyses with 153 leaders, 287 subordinates, and 153 superiors, we show that leaders who are both strongly politically skilled and high on Machiavellianism successfully enact transformational leadership, mediating improved leader effectiveness. However, when leader political skill is low, high Machiavellianism is negatively associated with (subordinate-rated) transformational leadership, resulting in lower leader effectiveness ratings by superiors. We discuss these results in light of current research on Machiavellianism in leadership and work contexts.
