“…Yet its dimensionality has been questioned (Bycio et al, 1995), and Berger et al (2012) showed that transformational leadership can be measured as a unidimensional construct. Thus, we used the German version of the HSA-TFL short-scale (8 items, Cronbach's α = 0.93).…”

The purpose of this paper is to clarify how leadership is able to improve team effectiveness, by means of its influence on group processes (i.e., increasing group development) and on the group task (i.e., decreasing task uncertainty). Four hundred and eight members of 107 teams in a German research and development (R&D) organization completed a web-based survey; they provided measures of transformational leadership, group development, 2 aspects of task uncertainty, task interdependence, and team effectiveness. In 54 of these teams, the leaders answered a web-based survey on team effectiveness. We tested the model with the data from team members, using structural equations modeling. Group development and a task uncertainty measurement that refers to unstable demands from outside the team partially mediate the effect of transformational leadership on team effectiveness in R&D organizations (p < 0.05). Although transformational leaders reduce unclarity of goals (p < 0.05), this seems not to contribute to team effectiveness. The data provided by the leaders was used to assess common source bias, which did not affect the interpretability of the results. Limitations include cross-sectional data and a lower than expected variance of task uncertainty across different job types. This paper contributes to understanding how knowledge worker teams deal effectively with task uncertainty and confirms the importance of group development in this context. This is the first study to examine the effects of transformational leadership and team processes on team effectiveness considering the task characteristics uncertainty and interdependence.

“…This scale has good psychometric properties (Berger, Yepes, & Quijano, 2007;Berger, Romeo, Yepes, & Guardia, 2012) with Cronbach"s α coefficient of .95. The HSA-TFL Short-scale is a one-dimensional scale for screening based on Bass" (1985) four theoretical dimensions with eight items, two for each theoretical dimension: individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and idealized influence.…”

Título: Adaptación y validación de la versión española de la "Survey WorkHome Interaction -NijmeGen" (SWING) en países hispanohablantes. Resumen: El propósito de este estudio es adaptar y validar la "Survey Work-Home Interaction -NijmeGen" (SWING), desarrollada por Geurts y colaboradores, a países de habla hispana (SWING-SSC). Con el fin de analizar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario, se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) con una muestra de 203 empleados de diferentes países de habla hispana. La validez de criterio se puso a prueba mediante el examen de las correlaciones entre el SWING-SSC y otras variables teóricas relevantes: salud, conflicto de rol, claridad de rol y apoyo del supervisor. Finalmente, se puso a prueba la fiabilidad analizando la consistencia interna de las escalas. Los análisis realizados indican que el SWING-SSC tiene buenas propiedades psicométricas. Además, los resultados apoyan la relación del constructo con la salud, el conflicto de rol, la claridad de rol, y el apoyo del supervisor. Este estudio ofrece evidencia de una medida del equilibrio entre trabajo y vida que contribuye al fomento de las condiciones adecuadas en el lugar de trabajo, para reducir el conflicto entre las dos esferas de la vida profesional y personal, y para fomentar las relaciones positivas. Palabras clave: Survey Work-Home Interaction SWING; equilibrio vidatrabajo; análisis factorial confirmatorio; salud; características del puesto. Abstract:The purpose of this study is the adaptation and validation of the "Survey Work-Home Interaction -NijmeGen" (SWING) developed by Geurts and colleagues to Spanish speaking countries (SWING-SSC). In order to analyze the questionnaire"s psychometric properties, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out with a sample of 203 employees from various Spanish-speaking countries. Criterion related validity was tested by examining correlations between the SWING-SSC, and the theoretically relevant variables: health, role conflict, role clarity and supervisor support. Finally, reliability was tested analyzing the internal consistency of the scales. The analyses carried out indicate that SWING-SSC has good psychometric properties. In addition, the present results support the relation of the construct with health, role conflict, role clarity, and supervisor support. This study offers evidence for a sound work-life balance measure that contributes to encourage adequate conditions in the workplace, to reduce the conflict between the two spheres of professional and personal life, and to enhance positive relationships.

“…Taking into account the current situation of a serious economic crisis in the healthcare sector at large, being efficient in given strategic goals has acquired a crucial importance (Berger, Romeo, Guardia, Yepes & Soria, 2012). In this context, the qualitative results allow us to describe the current leadership in the CHS and lead us to ponder whether this is truly leadership or if we are talking about simple management of these entities.…”

Public Healthcare Organizations: Leadership or Management?

This article studies the type of leadership that managers are currently exercising in the Catalan health system in Catalonia. A questionnaire (MQL-5X) was sent to 120 people occupying management positions in healthcare centers and hospitals as well as 14 others who also hold such positions in these healthcare centers and hospitals, were interviewed. The mixed methods research design attests that the Catalan health system is managed through a structure of simultaneous transformational and transactional leadership. However, the efficacy of this system is conditioned purely by the communicative competence that a manager may or may not possess, as the system itself makes no effort to encourage transformational leadership. Transformation leadership inspires positive change, conveys a clear vision and enhances morale, motivation and job performance. It galvanizes a team into changing their expectations and perceptions and motivates them to work towards common goals. En este articulo se estudia el liderazgo que los directivos del sistema catalán de salud de Cataluña están ejerciendo actualmente. Para ello, se ha pasado el cuestionario MQL-5X a 120 personas que ocupan cargos de dirección en centros sanitarios y hospitales y se han realizado 14 entrevistas a éstos. El diseño mixto de la investigación permite afirmar que en la sanidad catalana actual se dirige con un liderazgo transformacional y transaccional simultáneamente, pero la eficacia del mismo viene condicionada por la competencia comunicativa que la persona posea, ya que el propio sistema no deja aflorar un liderazgo transformacional que movilice y entusiasme a sus colaboradores. El liderazgo transformacional inspira hacia el cambio positivo, transmite una visión clara y exalta la moral, la motivación y el rendimiento en el trabajo; estimula al equipo para que cambie sus expectativas y percepciones y los motiva a trabajar hacia objetivos comunes.
