“…Dessa forma, as escolas enfatizam diferentes aspectos tais como traços e comportamentos dos líderes, fontes de poder e características dos seguidores, bem como dinâmicas relacionais que promovem ou favorecem o exercício do papel de líder, isto é, de agente capaz de influenciar seguidores a perseguir objetivos transformadores dos contextos em que atuam. Tal busca parte do pressuposto de que a liderança pode ser explicada e até mesmo favorecida por esse conhecimento, se aplicado ao desenvolvimento de líderes (Yukl, 2012). Assim, os estudos científicos sobre o tema vêm incrementalmente avançando o conhecimento sobre esse complexo processo, que constitui um importante catalisador das realizações coletivas e de excelência nas organizações.…”

Resumo Este trabalho investiga a produção científica contemporânea sobre a liderança publicada no The Leadership Quarterly (LQ), o principal periódico internacional dedicado exclusivamente ao tema. O estudo se baseia na aplicação do método bibliométrico aos 368 artigos publicados pela revista nos últimos seis anos, e examina sua autoria, origem e orientação teórica, bem como suas citações e cocitações. O resultado da análise indica que as Novas Teorias sobre a Liderança (Liderança Carismática, Transacional e Transformacional) e a Teoria das Trocas Líder-Seguidor (LMX) são os corpos teóricos dominantes no periódico. Esses trabalhos se orientam, majoritariamente, pela abordagem positivista e aplicam metodologias quantitativas de pesquisa. Essas observações são discutidas quanto às suas implicações para a difusão da produção científica sobre a liderança no contexto nacional e internacional.

“…Moreover, extensive research on leadership behavior during the past half century has yielded many different behavior taxonomies and a lack of clear results about effective behaviors. The research on effects of broadly defined leader behaviors has limitations that make the results difficult to interpret (Yukl, 2012). In addition, other studies have moved away from the concept of the selfinterested leader, centering on specific variables that are also present in different leadership styles, such as the work of Owens and Hekman (2012) who explore the concept of humility in leaders.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between altruistic leader behaviors, organizational learning capability and organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach – The sampling frame consists of several databases or listings of business that consider people as a key element of the organization and are considered by their employees to be good firms to work for or organizational environments where human resources management has high priority (n=251). The authors use structural equation modeling to test if the relationship between altruistic leader behaviors and organizational performance is mediated by organizational learning capability. Findings – Results suggest that organizational learning capability fully mediates between altruistic leader behaviors and organizational performance. Thus, organizational learning capability plays a key role in explaining how altruistic leader behaviors affect organizational performance, essentially because it facilitates the creation of a creative, participatory and dialogue-based environment that promotes organizational learning. Research limitations/implications – The database used in the study is very heterogeneous. Future research might delimit the database by organization size or sector. Qualitative studies may also improve our understanding of the relationships studied and enable other concepts to be included. Practical implications – This study provides evidence of the positive relationship between altruistic leaders and performance. However, recruiting and fomenting altruistic leaders is not sufficient on its own to improve performance, and should be accompanied by implementing other facilitating factors of organizational learning such as dialogue or experimentation. Originality/value – In recent years some studies have linked leadership with organizational learning. However, this is one of the first studies to concentrate on altruistic leader behaviors as such, a concept that has received scant mention in the literature despite its importance in a number of leadership styles, and its relevance today as an alternative to the egotistic leader. The authors offer empirical evidence of the role of altruistic leader behavior as an antecedent of organizational learning capability and subjective measures of performance.

“…It is worth noting that few previous studies have tested different effects of specific leadership skills on subordinate innovativeness. It is worth considering this point, because leadership includes multiple specific skills that have different effects on individual behaviors [45,46]. By examining the effects of two core leadership skills, emotional healing and conceptual skill on project members innovative behavior, we can be more certain that the effect of emotional healing and conceptual skill are different, more generally, emotional healing has a positive linear impact on project members innovative behavior and there will be an inverted U-shape relationship between conceptual skill and project member innovative behavior.…”

“…Relationship-oriented leadership needed skills focus on improving the quality of the relationship with followers, whereas, task-oriented leadership needed skill focus on the task to be accomplished [5]. Conceptual skill is a core skill of task-oriented leadership and emotional healing skill is a core skill of relation-oriented leadership (Yukl, 2012). Therefore, in this paper, we focus on two core leadership concepts found in the functional perspective literature, namely emotional healing and conceptual skill [6,7] (Dacher, 1999;Sturnick, 1998).…”

How Does Project Supervisor Maintain Sustainability of Project Members? A Study from Leadership Perspective

2018

Project members' innovative behavior is crucial to their sustainability and successful implementation of the project. This research develops a conceptual model to explore the effect of project supervisor leadership skills on member's innovative behavior. The model is examined by a sample of 437 project members in Taiwan. The results show that project supervisors' emotional healing positively influences members' innovative behavior through affect-based trust in their supervisor and supervisor conceptual skill has an inverted-U impact on members' innovative behavior through cognition-based trust in their supervisor. This paper further discusses implications of these conclusions for additional research on the association between leadership skills and innovative behavior.
