Provided Leadership and Selected Outcomes of Trainings in Public Organizations

Abstract

Trainings as well as their impact on employability and employees’ performance have been the subject of interest of theoreticians and practitioners of management for a long time. However, according to the literature study, the outcomes of employees’ trainings also depend on the applied style of leadership as well as on the quality of relationships between supervisors and subordinates. This paper tries to answer the question: what are the relationships between transformational leadership, the quality of supervisors’ relationships with subordinates, employees’ trainings and employability, employees’ quality and effort of work in public organizations? This aim will be achieved by presenting the results of literature study and empirical research carried out in public organizations. <font size="2"><sup>1</sup>The research project has been financed with the funds of the National Centre for Science granted under the Decision No. DEC‑2013/11/B/HS4/00561.</font>

The influence of leadership on employees' employability: a bibliometric analysis, systematic literature review, and research agenda

“…Regarding context, and work contexts particularly, researchers have studied the relationship between leadership and employability in both non-profit and for-profit organizations. Most of the studies assessed in the current study (5), were conducted in education contexts, such as universities (Camps and Rodríguez, 2011; Van der Heijden and Spurk, 2019), higher vocational education institutions (Bhattacharya and Neelam, 2018;Gustari and Widodo, 2020), and primary schools (Struzyna and Marzec, 2017), followed closely by 3 studies conducted in small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (Bozionelos et al, 2016;Stoffers et al, 2019;Epitropaki et al, 2021). Building (Van der Heijden and Bakker, 2011; Van der Heijde and Van der Heijden, 2014), and healthcare organizations, such as nonacademic hospitals (Van Harten et al, 2016), acute-care hospitals (Matsuo, 2022), and public healthcare units (Struzyna and Marzec, 2017), have been assessed in several studies.…”

“…Data were retrieved from the Web of Science database using the search string: topic "employability," document type "articles," language "English" OR "Dutch," and publication years . (Struzyna and Marzec, 2017), information and communication technology (Wang et al, 2019), food and beverage (Chughtai, 2019), automotive (Böttcher et al, 2018), insurance (Park, 2020), and mixed-industry (e.g., construction, manufacturing, finance, insurance, and communication; Yizhong et al, 2019) organizations have been assessed.…”

“…From a relational perspective, leadership associates with "a social influence process through which emergent coordination (i.e., evolving social order) and change (e.g., new values, attitudes, approaches, behaviors, and ideologies) are constructed and produced" (Uhl-Bien, 2006, p. 655). This is particularly true because the influences of training and development on employees' employability are also influenced by both leadership and the quality of the relationship between supervisors (e.g., employer or leader) and the employee (Struzyna and Marzec, 2017). From an employeremployee relationship perspective, better understanding of the leadership-employability relationship is paramount (Fugate et al, 2021), especially when talent is scarce and retraining employees is important to employers, and when investing in employability is crucial.…”

The role of training in improving employability, job satisfaction and the career success of public sector employees

“…Research conducted in the Netherlands indicated that training has a positive impact not only on the employability of employee, but also on their career advancement (Groot and Maasen van den Brink, 2000). In addition, research conducted in various industries in Malaysia found that training enhances both the internal and external employability of employees (Juhdi et al, 2010), some research in public sector organizations shows that formal on-the-job learning supported by organization leaders has a positive impact on employability (Nelissen et al, 2017;Strużyna and Marzec, 2017).Thus, it can be assumed that:…”

“…The results of quantitative research conducted within the framework of the project were also presented in the papers byStrużyna and Marzec (2017) andMarzec (2019) in which a subset of the total sample and variables presented in the paper was only utilized.…”
