“…First, they are highly interrelated. Leadership is fundamentally about setting direction, managing meaning, and creating change (Avolio, Sosik, & Berson, 2013). Second, we could not find any theory or research that speaks directly to examining social media’s impact on leadership, teamwork, or culture.…”

Social media are a broad collection of digital platforms that have radically changed the way people interact and communicate. However, we argue that social media are not simply a technology but actually represent a context that differs in important ways from traditional (e.g., face-to-face) and other digital (e.g., email) ways of interacting and communicating. As a result, social media is a relatively unexamined type of context that may affect the cognition, affect, and behavior of individuals within organizations. We propose a contextual framework that identifies the discrete and ambient stimuli that distinguish social media contexts from digital communication media (e.g., email) and physical (e.g., face-to-face) contexts. We then use this contextual framework to demonstrate how it changes more person-centered theories of organizational behavior (e.g., social exchange, social contagion, and social network theories). These theoretical insights are also used to identify a number of practical implications for individuals and organizations. This study's major contribution is creating a theoretical understanding of social media features so that future research may proceed in a theory-based, rather than platform-based, manner. Overall, we intend for this article to stimulate and broadly shape the direction of research on this ubiquitous, but poorly understood, phenomenon.

“…A wealth of research exists indicating that TL is positively related to performance (Avolio et al, 2012;Liao and Chuang, 2007;Nguni et al, 2006). For example, a meta-analyses of 25 years of research based on 113 primary studies has provided strong support for positive associations between TL and IP (Wang et al, 2011).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of transformational leadership (TL) on employees' individual performance (IP) through the mediating role of affective commitment (AC). More specifically, it aims to understand how (a) TL relates to employees' AC, (b) TL relates to employees' IP, (c) employees' AC relates to IP and (d) employees' AC mediates the relationship between TL and employees' IP. Design/methodology/approach-Four hundred and seventy-six Turkish healthcare professionals participated in this study. The mediation effect of AC in the relationship between TL and employees' IP was tested by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings-The results indicate that AC mediates the relationship between TL and employees' IP. In others words, transformational leaders promote employees' AC which, in turn, increases their IP. Practical implications-This study suggests that organizations should select, develop and invest in leaders who adopt a TL style because they build a climate of admiration, loyalty, respect, participation and involvement for employees which will in turn enhance their commitment and performance. Originality/value-This study responds to calls for researches to explore the mediating mechanism in the TL process (Judge et al., 2006), as the mediation effects explain the conditions in which TL is related to the favorable outcomes.

“…Success may also be defined as a level of fulfillment and satisfaction with one's career accomplishments as a leader (Greenhaus, Parasuraman, & Wormley, ) or judged on multiple dimensions depending on value systems like ethical leadership (Brown, Treviño, & Harrison, ). Others emphasize leadership as influence, suggesting leader success should be measured by positive change in behavior of followers of the leader (Avolio, Sosik, & Berson, ) or by the follower reactions to the leader's style (Kaiser et al., ). Broader still would be an approach that defines leader success by the success of the organization as a whole in terms of fulfilling its strategic mission or by financial metrics (Hambrick & Mason, ).…”

We propose an integrated model of leadership potential, the highpotential designation process, and leader success that is intended to clarify the theoretical and practical relationships among these concepts. Drawing on research in the areas of social judgment and cognition, cognitive abilities, personality, leadership development, and motivation and on practice-oriented observations and writings, we
