The increasingly competitive global economy has pushed companies to exploit their available resources as a ways of achieving competitive advantage. Leadership is critically important because it has a huge impact on the condition of the organization. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship among Leadership Commitment (LSC), Organizational Performance (ONP), and Employee Engagement (EYE) via their effects on a set of mediating variables of Employers Branding (EYB), Strategic Alignment (SGA), Organizational Agility (ONA), and Human Resource Practices (HRM). A conceptual model of these relationships was developed on existing theories. Data were collected from 26 petrochemical companies" managers to be analyzed as identifiers of the latent variables in the model. This process was completed using the principles of structural equation modeling (SEM) which required confirmatory factor analysis on the measurement model and path analysis on the structural model. The analysis finds that Leadership Commitment directly affects Organizational Performance and Employee Engagement. The study also finds that Employers Branding, Strategic Alignment, Organizational Agility, and Human Resource Practices are an intervening factor between Leadership Commitment, Organizational Performance, and Employee Engagement. In addition, Strategic Alignment does not directly relate to human resource practice-it does so indirectly via Employers Branding and Organizational Agility. This result suggests that an increasing behavior of leader who commit to staying with their company, working toward organizations" target success, focusing on achieving goals, and also working toward the success of organizational change, appears to influence the value of organizational performance as well as the engagement levels of employees.

“…Therefore, there is little empirical evidence available about what kinds of decisions female managers make to achieve business excellence. Even though some attempts have been made to identify differences in male and female leadership styles, there remain many unanswered questions (Amagoh, 2009;Appelbaum et al, 2003;Yammarino et al, 1997).…”

The paper presents the results of a 2009 survey of 136 Spanish small service businesses.Male and female owners of travel agencies were interviewed to indicate their crisis readiness and measures taken to confront the crisis. Gender based differences in strategic decision-making were detected. Whereas men and women were equally successful to overcome the crisis, their strategies differed. Women were on average significantly younger, employed measures focusing on price, kept social measures intact and employed to a lesser extent drastic measures to reduce costs (layoffs, dismissals). Men used drastic measures most. The differences in strategic choice can be attributed to a gender specific leadership style.

This research has been conducted to investigate critical factors affecting the operational excellence (OPX) of service firms in Jordan. The main factors of interest are leadership, human resource management practices, operations strategy, and involvement culture. This research considered different service sub-sectors including banks, ICT, insurance, aviation, hotels and medical care.A research questionnaire was developed to test the hypotheses, with 700 questionnaires distributed by hand and email. A total number of 368 were returned, representing a response rate of 53%. Multiple regression tests were then executed to examine the research hypotheses. The multiple regression test showed a high positive impact of the research variables on operational excellence with (R = 83.2%) and (R 2 =69.2%) where the highest contribution was from 'operations strategy', and the lowest contribution was by 'leadership'. At the same time, when the research factors were tested individually, they all showed high positive impact on operational excellence. It has also been noticed that there are variations in perceptions across services subsectors: hotels recorded the highest mean value across all factors.In the light of the findings of this research, which are consistent with previous literature, the researchers propose some recommendations to be considered by both academics and practitioners in the field.
