Leader Behavior
-what a leader does
Leader Results/Effectiveness
-consequences of what a leader does
Leadership
-gains commitment
Management
-gains compliance
What Leadership is not
-not seniority/hierarchy based -not just a title -not just personality/charisma -not just management
Leadership
-group process that involves interactions between leaders, followers and the situation -leaders influece task goals, strategies and follower motivation/behavior
3 approaches
-trait -behavioral -contingency
Narcissism
-key ingredient to leader success --grandiose sense of importance --lack of empathy --excessive admiration --exploitative, manipulative, arrogant
Narcissism and Leadership
-positively related to supervisor-rated transformational leadership and "visionary boldness" -negatively related to "socialized vision," reduced group level info exchange and team performance
Narcissism and Leadership correlations
-.16 with leadership emergence: moderated by length of acquaintance -.-3 with leadership effectiveness, self-report is .29, curvilinear relationship
Effects of Bad Leaders
-1/3 of employees report destructive leadership -costs $23.8 billion for companies due to turnover, absence, reduced performance etc
Destructive Leadership
-harmful acts against followers committed by leader, supervisor or manager -physical, verbal, active, passive, direct, indirect
GLOBE project
-understand how societal culture influences leadership and organizational effectiveness -cultural environment shapes views, expectations, customs regarding power, leadership and leadership styles
GLOBE Dimensions: Charismatic/value based
-similar to transformational leadership
GLOBE Dimensions: Team-oriented
-team building and common goals among team members
GLOBE Dimensions: Participative
-involving others in decision making
GLOBE Dimensions: Humane-oriented
-supportive/considerate and compassion/generosity
GLOBE Dimensions: Autonomous
-independent and individualistic attributes
GLOBE Dimensions: Self-protective
-security of self and group through status enhancement and face saving
Trait Approach
-"Some people are just more cut out to be a leader" -early research, atheoretical
Resurgence of Trait approach - leadership emergence
-constructs that predict: intelligence, need for dominance, self-monitoring
Bono & Judge (2004) Meta-Analysis
-traits are weak predictors of leadership behavior
Judge, Colbert, & Ilies (2004) Meta-analysis
-intelligence is a weak predictor of leadership emergence and effectiveness
Judge & Cable (2004) Meta-Analysis
-physical height is a weak predictor of leadership emergence
Eagly & Karau (1991) Meta Analysis
-gender is a moderate predictor of leadership emergence
Behavioral Approach
"effective leaders enact different behaviors from ineffective leaders" -strong meta-analytic support/data
Ohio State studies
-measured many leader behaviors -found 2 factors of leader behavior: -initiating structure (task-focused behaviors) -consideration (person-focused behaviors)
Initiating Structure
-emphasizes meeting work goals & accomplishing tasks, organizing work, communicating work tasks
Consideration
-friendly, supportive, caring, asking about where followers live, compassion
Meta-analytic data for Ohio State Studies (Judge, Piccolo, Ilies; 2004)
-correlation between consideration/initiating structure r=.14 -non-common method effects are small (consideration has larger common method bias)
Problems with Ohio State Studies
-some behaviors don't fit well in either category -disagreement about whether factors were independent -effectiveness of behaviors varies across situations
Contingency Approach
-"relationship between leader behavior and leader effectiveness depends on situation"
Fiedler's Theory
1. Leaders have stable and inflexible leadership style (dispositional) 2. Situation favorability determines leader success -enhance leader success through: selecting a different leader, changing situation
Fiedler's Leadership Style
-leaders are task oriented v. relationship oriented -measured via Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) Scale, most difficult person to get along with -low LPC: task oriented -high LPC: relationship oriented -LPC has low construct validity
Fiedler's Situational Favorability
-Leader-member relations: leader & member get a long well -task structure: task is structured v. vague -Position power (of the leader): amount of authority leader has
Low LPC leaders success
-situational favorability needs to be very good, not too interpersonal -can be very bad, all is bad but task is very important
High LPC Leaders success
-most successful under moderate situational favorability
Fiedler's empirical support - Low LPC Leaders
-perform best in high situational favorability only -struggle in moderate favorability
Fiedler's empirical support: High LPC Leaders
-perform above average in very high situational favorability (not predicted by theory)
Graen's Leader-Member Exchange (LMX)
-focus on quality of relationship between leader and member -partition followers into 2 groups: -in: favorites, trusted confidants -out: non-favorites, keep formal relationship
LMX 7
Seven item questionnaire that provides a reliable and valid measure of the quality of leader-member exchanges. Meaures 3 dimensions of leader-member relationships: trust respect obligation
Empirical Support for LMX
-average correlation between leader and member perceptions of LMX is r=.29 -LMX is correlated with job performance -some measures have poor discriminant/convergent validity eg. Satisfaction with supervisor
Liden & Maslyn's new LMX 4 factor Scale
-affect: mutual interpersonal attraction -loyalty: mutual amount of public support -contribution: what each member contributes to the goals of the organization -professional respect: each member's reputation for excellent work
Transactional Leadership
-engage followers in economic, political, or psychological exchange (money, votes, loyalty) -rewards/punishments -gets job done
Transformational Leadership
-leader articulates vision for better future, reframes issues to align with leader's and follower's values, develops followers by giving active roles in the change effort -inspires -facilitates change -positive impact
Transactional leadership fails when...
-relationship is not mutually beneficial -honesty, fairness, commitment not valued
Transactional Motivation
-no close bonds -only rewards motivate to do work
Transformational motives
-persuasion, emotional attachments, inspiration
Measruing Transactional-formational Leadership: Podsakoff Leader behavior Scale
-6 factors of transformational leadership: 1. ID & articulate visioin 2. provide appropriate model 3. foster the acceptance of group goals 4. high performance expectations 5. provide individualized support 6. intellectual stimulation -1 factor of transactional: contingent rewards
Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 2 factors of transactional
-Management by exception (active): leader takes corrective action before follower creates serious difficulties -Management by exception (passive): corrective action after follower creates problems
Meta-Analysis for Transactional-formational leadership
-correlation between transactional/formational is r=.68 -correlation between transformation and laissez-faire (non-leadership) is r= -.5 -correlation between transactional and laissez-faire is r= -.38 -not so different -non-common method effects smaller, common method effect higher fo…
Why is transformational leadership related to follower behavior?
-mediators: LMX, job characteristic perceptions
Servant Leadership
-group approach that emphasizes serving others, building community, sharing power and teamwork
4 factors of Servant Leadership
-Empowering people: motivation based on empowerment -Humanity: puts one's own accomplishments into perspective -Authenticity: expresses "true self," consistent) -interpersonal acceptance: does not judge, understand where people are coming from
Evidence for Servant Leadership
-self-reported OCB = .37 -self-reported performance = .24
Ethical Leadership
-demonstrating normatively appropriate conduct and promoting this to followers through communication, decision making, and reinforcement -needs more evidence
