“…A previous analysis of the effect of transformational leadership on the public sector has shown a beneficial impact on achieving individual performance, such as in the case of public sector employees in Iran (Karimi et al, 2023), nurses (Bell e, 2013), Danish high school teachers (Jacobsen and Bøgh Andersen, 2015), Danish nursing homes (Lauritzen et al, 2022) and Chinese civil servants (Fan et al, 2023). As leadership is context-driven and there is a need to study the impact of transformational leadership from a perspective other than the Western context, we propose the following hypothesis.…”

PurposeEmerging research on public administration theory has highlighted the need for public sector managers to become better leaders by inspiring and motivating them to align themselves with their organisation's mission and vision. Therefore, transformational leadership has become increasingly appealing in public administration. This study investigates how transformational leadership affects the job performance of those in the Maldives' civil service. Furthermore, it tests the mediation effect of organisational commitment on the relationship between transformational leadership and the job performance of those working in the Maldives' civil service.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a quantitative and cross-sectional design to collect data from 370 employees from different Maldives civil service offices. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, and structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The mediating effect was tested using bootstrapping.FindingsThe results reveal that transformational leadership did not significantly affect job performance. While a mediation effect was present, the effect size was within a small range.Originality/valueThe results of this study has important implications for the Maldives' civil service from a human resource management perspective and provides insights to policymakers on how to improve leadership in Maldives' civil service institutions. Furthermore, this study contributes significantly to the existing research in understanding the effect of transformational leadership on public sector organisations in Asia and from a developing country's perspective.

“…IWB does not just happen, in several studies, leaders have the potential to increase the innovation of their followers through various mechanisms that exist in the organization (Karimi et al, 2023;Mishra et al, 2019). Social exchange theory (P. M. Blau, 2017) explains the relationship between leadership support and IWB.…”

“…Supervisors who are considered to support creative ideas, facilitate employee access to the resources needed to implement creative ideas and help solve problems experienced by employees (S ˇkerlavaj et al, 2014). Conversely, when supervisors are perceived as less supportive, task resources, social and financial restrictions force employees to make a trade-off between generating and implementing ideas (Karimi et al, 2023;S ˇkerlavaj et al, 2014). Based on these matters, we hypothesize:…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine perceived supervisory support (PSS) and the impact of the antecedents of sharing knowledge, namely, clan culture (CC) as well as trust in innovative work behavior (IWB). Design/methodology/approach This research focuses on small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) employees, especially SMEs located around tourist attractions in Indonesia. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires. The distribution of the questionnaire was carried out in two ways, namely, the offline and online systems via the Google form. Data analysis tool using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings reveal that PSS, knowledge sharing (KS), CC as well as trust are positively related to IWB. In addition, it was also found that KS was proven to mediate CC relationships as well as the trust which had a positive relationship with IWB. Research limitations/implications The research design uses cross-sectional data. This means that the measurement of variables is based on self-reports and is carried out at one time, which can lead to method bias that can affect the results of the study. Thus, further research is recommended to collect data longitudinally, which will make the findings stronger. Practical implications Theoretically, this study extends previous research by outlining a set of organizational elements that tend to influence KS behavior and their impact on IWB in the SMEs context. Social implications Managers and owners of SMEs need to create a CC because the creation of a family or CC will more easily foster a culture of sharing knowledge within the organization, which will ultimately increase IWB. Originality/value This study emphasizes that it is not only internal factors within employees that can foster IWB but there are external factors that play an important role in increasing IWB, such as CC, PSS, trust and KS. And to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to include all the constructs in one model and the context of SMEs.

“…However, leadership behaviour is recognized as a signi cant factor that determines success or failure [39]. According to a study poor public leadership style is responsible for 80% of public health failures, The extant empirical evidence suggests that different traditional leadership styles have varying impacts on public health delivery [40,41].…”

Background: This research depicts the linkage of public leadership on public health delivery (PHD) and collaborative administration. The research is also focused to examine the effect of public leadership on public health delivery through the intervening variable of collaborative administration by using both social information processing theory and collaboration theory. Methods: This research is based on quantitative method. Data was collected from 464 public hospital administration in the context of Pakistan. This study evaluated data using SPSS, AMOS and PROCESS Macro. Results: Public leadership has a positive profound effect on public health delivery and collaborative administration, and that collaborative administration significantly promotes public health delivery. The outcomes also exposed that public leadership has substantial influence on public health delivery through intervening collaborative administration. Conclusions: Whilst public leadership demonstrated positive outcomes on public health delivery and collaborative administration, there is a need for more rigor studies on collaborative governance leadership, collaborative ethics and collaborative norms in the public health service.
