“…Nevertheless, heterogeneity can produce relationship conflicts among team members, resulting in poor performance. Amason and Sapienza (1997) and Dunne et al (2016) found that a collaborative style is negatively and not significantly related to innovativeness. This result could be aligned with the idea that, in general, entrepreneurs have a greater need for autonomy and independence (Knörr et al, 2013).…”

“…Ensley et al (2003Ensley et al ( , 2006 focused on the impact of entrepreneurial leadership behaviour on new venture performance. In this sense, researchers have provided a treatise on the importance of leadership by arguing that the effectiveness of a leader is a major determinant of the success or failure of a group, an organization or even an entire country (Dunne et al, 2016;Fiedler, 1996). In this regard, Bass and Bass (2008) suggested that leadership and management seem to have a substantial effect on some organizational outcomes, such as innovation processes (Kang et al, 2015;Norbom and Lopez, 2016), entrepreneurship (Elenkov and Manev, 2005;Ensley et al, 2006;Simsek et al, 2015;Zhou, 2016) and community entrepreneurs (Lyons et al, 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of cultural leadership factors (charismatic/value-based, team oriented, participative, humane, autonomous and self-protective) on the rates of opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach The study integrates insights from institutional and cultural leadership theories to provide a fresh perspective to advance comparative entrepreneurship research. To test the hypotheses, the authors conduct a multiple regression analysis with observations from 34 countries, using data (from the year 2013) from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for the dependent variable and from Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness to create leadership factors as independent variables. Findings The results show that all the types of leadership considered in the study have a relevant effect on entrepreneurial activity. However, charismatic leadership has a greater effect on entrepreneurial activity, particularly on opportunity entrepreneurship. The research also shows that autonomous leadership has a negative impact on entrepreneurial activity, although, when it is moderated by the humane dimension, this relationship changes. Practical implications Since the alternative dimensions facilitate or inhibit the generation of new firm creation, it is critical for researchers, teachers and leaders to learn about and to foster such leadership types. Originality/value This research covers a gap in the cross-cultural evidence presented in the literature and suggests the integration of the concepts leadership and entrepreneurship.

“…Os líderes e gestores entendendo que as pressões para aumentar os lucros, não podiam mais ser atendidas pelas reestruturações que marcaram os anos 90 (NARAYANAN; YANG; ZAHRA, 2009) o interesse e pesquisas, sobre o empreendedorismo cresceram. Dunne et al (2016) encontraram evidências de que mesmo os pequenos líderes empreendedores que são inspiradores, que negociam competitivamente e que lideram organizações eficazes estabelecem ambientes que seriam mais propensos a produzir inovações.…”

O caso trata dos dilemas de Vabo e Amanda referentes ao desenvolvimento de uma equipe forte, com líderes eficazes, em uma empresa que vinha crescendo exponencialmente. Dada uma nova escala de operação, um novo tamanho de time e os desafios de manter a cultura e continuar crescendo, era necessário reavaliar o papel dos principais líderes, suas interdependências e seus impactos na formação dos líderes do futuro. O caso é recomendado para disciplinas de Liderança, Empreendedorismo e Cultura Organizacional em cursos de pós-graduação stricto e latu senso em Administração de Empresas. Espera-se que, ao final da discussão do caso, os participantes possam: (a) familiarizar-se com a interdependência entre valores, crenças, sonhos, histórico de vida e comportamentos do líder; (b) identificar diferentes estilos de liderança, observando suascaracterísticas, idiossincrasias e vulnerabilidades; (c) perceber as diferentes necessidades de liderança em cada estágio de desenvolvimento do negócio, bem como as potenciais consequências de cada estilo de liderança no crescimento, pessoas e cultura da empresa; (d) ampliar seu autoconhecimento, fortalecendo suas escolhas, carreira e liderança.

“…Despite the difference in their environments, all organizations seek to have success in their business and improvement in their performance so as to have the ability to compete and reach to what is best, special and differentiated. Studies have shown that leadership style in organizations is one of the most important factors affecting the success of its business, so the absence of a good, successful and qualified leadership is reflected negatively on the performance and production, and hinders the organization from achieving its goals (Robinson et al, 2008;Avolio et al, 2009;Dunne et al, 2016). Unlike what might be achieved in the presence of a successful, conscious and effective leadership.…”

This research represents an empirical investigation of the impact theorized by a laissez fair leadership approach on organizational innovation through studying its effect on administrative and technical innovation. Also, this study probes the role played by organizational structure within this context through further examination to address the mixed results reported in the literature, while contributing to understanding the interplay of these variables within the health services sector. For the purpose of this research, the authors drew on a random sampling technique to gather data from Jordanian hospitals. Data used for this research represents 270 employees working in the Jordanian health sector. Structure equation modelling technique was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate positive effect of laissez fair leadership on technical and administrative innovation, similar to organizational structure positive impact. Also, the research results were found to support the notion that organizational structure mediate the relationship between laissez fair leadership and innovation. Finally, implications of this research for practitioners and researchers are formulated.
