“…Additionally, Liu et al (2017) determined the positive influence of inclusive leadership positively concerning mental models of teams where the reflection of teams plays the role of a moderator. Liu et al (2015) more comprehensively found a positive and significant link between inclusive leadership and the creativity of employees. Jin et al (2017) recommended that a higher degree of inclusiveness in employees’ minds has more probability of performance improvement.…”

This study investigates the effect of inclusive leadership on innovation performance with a mediating role of employee innovation behavior and the moderating role of psychological empowerment (PE). Supervisors and employees of Saudi manufacturing firms are the participants of this study. This study used a quantitative research technique with a cross-sectional approach and a self-administrative survey questionnaire to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using the Smart PLS 3 software. The results depict that inclusive leadership has a significant positive impact on the firm’s innovation performance. Employees’ innovation behavior has a significant mediating effect on the association of inclusive leadership and innovation performance. Findings revealed that PE has an important moderating role in the association of inclusive leadership and innovation performance. The findings of this study contribute to the body of knowledge by finding that inclusive leadership has a significant effect on the firm’s innovative performance and PE is crucial to enhance innovation performance.

“…Neurological variables can provide more comprehensive information about "what leaders do and why" (Waldman et al, 2011). Neuroleadership can be seen as an applied field of social cognitive neuroscience that aims to analyse and understand the behaviour of leaders (Badenhorst, 2015;Liu et al, 2015).…”

In a post-pandemic era, managers and leaders have a role to enable the changes needed to make workplaces happier and more productive. This paper aims to analyse the role of neuroleadership in the application of happiness management. Two research questions are proposed: what do we know about neuroleadership? and what role can neuroleadership play in happiness management? A mixed methodology is applied. A bibliometric technique is used to identify the main topics studied in neuroleadership. An in-depth analysis and logical reasoning are applied to propose a neuroleadership research roadmap and to present some research pathways for neuroleadership for happiness management. A neuroleadership research roadmap is proposed, considering the approaches, practices/actions, and purposes. It is observed that the consideration of the management of emotions and cognitive processes in the work environment is attracting interest to develop a leadership focused on making better workplaces. A new line of action focused on the management of happiness is emerging. In addition, neuroleadership is presented as a new way of understanding management. Their combined application can mark a before and after in business management, and for that, a proposal of future research lines and questions is developed. This paper presents four future research pathways—perspectives, reasons, adoption and implementation, and results—for studying neuroleadership for happiness management.

“…From a neurological perspective, transformational and charismatic leaders were shown to display similar activation of brain regions when they expressed positive emotions (Liu et al ., 2015). Strong activity was found in the left prefrontal cortex of transformational leaders with high psychological capital (indicative of happiness, contentment, enthusiasm and interest) (Peterson et al ., 2008) as opposed to activity in the right frontal cortex of individuals with low psychological capital.…”

“…Although the term “embody” has been used to represent constructs in behavioral management previously, like “supervisor's organizational embodiment” (see Stinglhamber et al ., 2021), it has not been applied in the word's true sense involving the body or parts of the body. Moreover, as ON continues to grow as a research area in management, opportunities exist to study general brain activity associated with transformational leadership's effectiveness (Liu et al ., 2015). Leadership is a complex behavioral process that involves the emotions of the leader, follower behaviors and the operating context, all of which influence the leader's brain and bodily responses.…”

PurposeThis research employed two neurophysiological techniques (electroencephalograms (EEG) and galvanic skin response (GSR)) and machine learning algorithms to capture and analyze relationship-oriented leadership (ROL) and task-oriented leadership (TOL). By grounding the study in the theoretical perspectives of transformational leadership and embodied leadership, the study draws connections to the human body's role in activating ROL and TOL styles.Design/methodology/approachEEG and GSR signals were recorded during resting state and event-related brain activity for 52 study participants. Both leadership styles were assessed independently using a standard questionnaire, and brain activity was captured by presenting subjects with emotional stimuli.FindingsROL revealed differences in EEG baseline over the frontal lobes during emotional stimuli, but no differences were found in GSR signals. TOL style, on the other hand, did not present significant differences in either EEG or GSR responses, as no biomarkers showed differences. Hence, it was concluded that EEG measures were better at recognizing brain activity associated with ROL than TOL. EEG signals were also strongest when individuals were presented with stimuli containing positive (specifically, happy) emotional content. A subsequent machine learning model developed using EEG and GSR data to recognize high/low levels of ROL and TOL predicted ROL with 81% accuracy.Originality/valueThe current research integrates psychophysiological techniques like EEG with machine learning to capture and analyze study variables. In doing so, the study addresses biases associated with self-reported surveys that are conventionally used in management research. This rigorous and interdisciplinary research advances leadership literature by striking a balance between neurological data and the theoretical underpinnings of transformational and embodied leadership.
