Best practices of successful leadership approaches and behaviors have been unidentified when addressing low-toxicity work environments. The purpose of this qualitative narrative case study was to develop a deeper understanding of how leaders selected and applied specific leadership strategies and behaviors in nontoxic workplace environments. Data were collected from 10 participants in New Hampshire using a purposive sampling technique and semistructured interviews based on Alvarado’s triangular model of workplace toxicity. This study was structured using a narrative approach to explore ways positive leaders practically implemented styles and behaviors to mitigate workplace toxicity. All participants met this study’s qualification parameters; they had past experiences with toxic leaders that shaped their personal leadership styles. NVivo was used to compare and analyze data from all interview transcripts entered for recurring themes. These themes were coded according to how answers connected to a specific research question, and findings were collated across interviews to form results. Three major themes emerged from the data: experience with toxic leadership, leadership approaches to toxicity, and leadership behaviors toward toxicity. Insights from this study may help company leaders avoid lawsuits, low productivity levels, and high staff turnover due to toxic workplace elements left unattended or ineffectively managed. The study may contribute to positive social change by generating practical models of and suggestions for creating a less toxic work environment, thereby creating healthier and happier employees, which increases public wellbeing and company success. Workplace Toxicity, Leadership Behaviors, and Leadership Strategies by Titin Atmadja MA, Southern New Hampshire University, 2012 BS, Hesser College, 2008 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Management Leadership and Organizational Change Walden University May 2019 Dedication More than to anyone else, I dedicate this work to the memory of my mother, Hoeriyah-Karlijn, the great matriarch of the Atmadja family of Java-Indonesia. When I was a child, she told me that if I did not go to school, I would be poor and have no future. As a result, as a child, I was afraid to be poor and have no future, even though I didn’t know what that meant. I read and I read, and I earned good grades, as she cleverly pulled our family business, a local farm, into the international market producing rice, cocoa, and cloves. With this dissertation that I dedicate to her, I follow the educational tradition she established. I join her, my late father, and my sister—four people in two generations—by receiving a doctorate. We will never be poor, and we will always have a future. Acknowledgments Thank you, Dr. Rich Schuttler. It was my honor to be with you as you approached your goal of graduating 1,000,000 students.

  • Measuring Transformational Leadership in Establishing Nursing Care Excellence
    healthcare Article Measuring Transformational Leadership in Establishing Nursing Care Excellence Sarah E. Moon 1,*, Pieter J. Van Dam 2 and Alex Kitsos 3 1 Australian Institute of Health Service Management, University of Tasmania, Hobart, TAS 7005, Australia 2 School of Medicine, College of Health and Medicine, University of Tasmania, Hobart, TAS 7005, Australia; [email protected] 3 Wicking Dementia Research & Education Centre, University of Tasmania, Hobart, TAS 7005, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 October 2019; Accepted: 1 November 2019; Published: 4 November 2019 Abstract: Transformational leadership (TL) is known to be essential to achieving Magnet® recognition, an internationally prestigious status for nursing care excellence. Since its inception in the 1980s, empirical studies have identified benefits of implementing the Magnet® Model involving improved patient care and nursing workforce outcomes. However, little is known about the leadership styles of nurse managers (NMs) working in a regional Australian context, which may hinder achieving Magnet® status. To close the knowledge gap, a self-administered survey was conducted to measure leadership styles of NMs at a large health organization comprising hospitals with a wide range of service profiles in regional Australia using a validated tool—the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-6S). One-way of variance (ANOVA) was used to identify statistical significance between respondents’ demographic characteristics (e.g., age, education, gender) and their MLQ-6S scores. Respondents (n = 78) reported their leadership styles as more transformational, compared to transactional or passive/avoidant leadership styles. The findings indicated that NMs’ higher education (p = 0.02) and older age (p = 0.03) were associated with TL styles, whereas passive/avoidant leadership was generally reported by female (p = 0.04) and younger (p = 0.06) respondents.

  • Impact of Laissez-Faire Leadership on Role Ambiguity and Role Conflict: Implications for Job Performance
    International Journal of Innovation and Economic Development Volume 4 ISSN 1849-7020 (Print) Issue 1 ISSN 1849-7551 (Online) April, 2018 Pages 29-43 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.18775/ijied.1849-7551-7020.2015.41.2003 DOI: 10.18775/ijied.1849-7551-7020.2015.41.2003 Impact of Laissez-Faire Leadership on Role Ambiguity and Role Conflict: Implications for Job Performance 1Mohammed Al-Malki, 2Wang Juan 1,2 School of Economics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan, China Abstract: The paper explores the ways to achieve superior job performance and cooperation among employees. The conceptual review suggests that leadership styles have an influence on role conflict and role ambiguity, which in turn impact job performance and cooperation. A questionnaire survey was prepared and conducted on the sample of Saudi Arabia companies’ employees. The data was analysed using SPSS. The quantitative analysis consisted of descriptive statistics calculation, assumption testing, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings of the research suggest that role conflict and role ambiguity have a negative influence on increasing job performance. Another finding of the paper shows that increasing job performance positively impacts on job cooperation. Laissez- faire leadership impact on role ambiguity and role conflict is not significant. The findings of the research can be useful for the managers and leaders in terms of explaining the nature of role stressors and how they should be dealt with to increase the productivity of employees. The research paper builds on the theory of leadership and contributes to the leadership - performance body of work. Keywords: Laissez-faire leadership, Role ambiguity, Role conflict, Job performance, Cooperation 1.

  • Jean Lipman-Blumen: Bush: Perhaps the Most Toxic Leader of Our Time
    Jean Lipman-Blumen: Bush: Perhaps the Most Toxic Leader of Our Time http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jean-lipmanblumen/bush-perhaps-the-mo... March 11, 2013 As President George W. Bush exits the White House, the trail of destruction he leaves behind bears many earmarks of a toxic leader. Toxic leaders, by virtue of their dysfunctional personal qualities and destructive behavior, inflict serious and enduring harm on their followers, as well as many others who happen to cross their path. In fact, the "quick and dirty" measure of toxic leaders is that they leave us worse off than they found us. Few could deny that the label "toxic leader" seems custom-made for our forty-third president, who turns over the keys to the Oval Office in just a few days. Bush has left the US in disarray domestically and has diminished our position internationally. Mostly, he has done this through a combination of incompetence, arrogance, and stubbornness, characteristics which President Bush shares with many other toxic leaders. Incompetence draws toxic leaders into poor decisions. Arrogance keeps toxic leaders from recognizing the inadequacy or downright destructiveness of their choices. And stubbornness makes toxic leaders persist on their poisonous course even when others shine a spotlight on its toxicity. But these traits aren't even the worst of toxic leadership. Incompetence, arrogance, and stubbornness actually fall on the mild end of the "toxic" spectrum, compared to those of other deliberately evil leaders. If incompetence, arrogance, and stubbornness were the only claims against Bush, it would be tragic enough. Unfortunately, Bush has earned the title of a full-fledged toxic leader by violating the basic standards of human rights of both ordinary American citizens, as well as our alleged opponents.

  • Impact of Toxic Leadership on Counterproductive Work Behavior with the Mediating Role of Psychological Contract Breach and Moderating Role of Proactive Personality
    Monografico DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25115/eea.v39i4.4879 Volumen:39-4 // ISSN: 1133-3197 Impact of Toxic Leadership on Counterproductive Work Behavior with the Mediating role of Psychological Contract Breach and Moderating role of Proactive Personality MUHAMMAD BILAL KAYANI1, IMRAN IBRAHIM ALASAN2 1 LIMKOKWING UNIVERSITY OF CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY, CYBERJAYA, MALAYSIA E-mail: [email protected] 2LIMKOKWING UNIVERSITY OF CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY, CYBERJAYA, MALAYSIA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper focused the conceptualizations of toxic leadership and analyzes the relationship between toxic leadership and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). The mediating role of psychological contract breach was measured between the toxic leadership and counterproductive work behavior, also by analyzing the moderating effect of proactive personality. The selected sample for research comprised of 355 nurses serving in public sector of Pakistan and questionnaire was used as a research tool. Findings of the data revealed that toxic leadership is having a positive significant relationship with CWB and a negative with PCB in partial mediation model. PCB was found to be positively associated with CWB whereas Proactive personality was identified for weakening the relationship of PCB and CWB. The results of the study elaborated that firms ought to illuminate unmistakably to managers about the antagonistic outcomes brought about by toxic oversight, and may join rules or approaches to rebuff toxic practices. Given the counterproductive impact of toxic leadership, more information is exclusively required regarding causes of toxic leadership and the paper concluded with recommendations for future research and action. Keywords: Toxic Leadership, Psychological Contract Breach, Counterproductive Work Behavior, Proactive Personality JEL classification: J53, M10, M59.

  • THE ALLURE of TOXIC LEADERS: WHY FOLLOWERS RARELY ESCAPE THEIR CLUTCHES By: Jean Lipman-Blumenissues: January / February 2005
    THE ALLURE OF TOXIC LEADERS: WHY FOLLOWERS RARELY ESCAPE THEIR CLUTCHES by: Jean Lipman-BlumenIssues: January / February 2005. Categories: Leadership. • Share on LinkedIn • Share on googlePlus • Share on facebook • Share on twitter • Share by email Toxic leadership is a growing — and costly — phenomenon. Yet individual and organizations can stop the insidious spread of toxicity, by understanding why we are seduced by the false promises of toxic leaders, and by setting up organizational defence mechanisms to counter the spread of toxicity. This author has some excellent suggestions. This article is based on her book, The Allure of Toxic Leaders: Why We Follow Destructive Bosses and Corrupt Politicians – and How We Can Survive Them, Jean Lipman-Blumen (New York: Oxford University Press), 2005. A curious paradox surrounds toxic leaders wherever they take the stage, from the executive suite to the religious pulpit. It is this: While most of us followers complain about toxic leaders, nonetheless, we almost always stay the course. How do we explain that paradoxical scenario, evident in virtually every society from earliest recorded history? Why do we followers not only tolerate, but so often prefer, and sometimes even create toxic leaders – in for-profit corporations, non-profits, government, even educational and religious institutions? Why do we permit so many toxic leaders to hold sway in virtually all arenas of human endeavour? As you might suspect, there are no easy answers here. Yet, a major part of the answer can be pieced together from three enduring sources: the internal needs and human condition of the followers; the interactions between followers and their own environments; and followers’ relationships with toxic leaders.

  • The Workplace Bullying Institute Guide to American Union Action on Abusive Conduct Gary Namie, Phd Member UAW Local 1981, AFL-CIO
    1 The Workplace Bullying Institute Guide to American Union Action on Abusive Conduct Gary Namie, PhD Member UAW Local 1981, AFL-CIO December 2015 WBI defines workplace bullying as: Repeated, health-harming mistreatment by one or more people of an employee: abusive conduct which takes the form of verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, humiliation, sabotage of work, or some combination of one or more forms. According to the scientific 2014 WBI U.S. Workplace Bullying Survey, 27% of all adult Americans have directly experienced bullying (7% currently), 21% witness it. Thus 48% are affected by it – 65 million workers! It’s an epidemic. Abusive conduct is also known as workplace bullying, mobbing, psychological violence, psychological harassment, lateral violence, emotional abuse, social misery and psychological terrorization. Employers prefer the euphemisms incivility and disrespect. Only one in five cases of bullying are eligible for complaints based on anti-discrimination laws or employer policies. At this time, no U.S. state has enacted legislation to make abusive conduct actionable. Bullying is the dominant stressor in a toxic workplace. Bullying, a personalized form of assault, causes: twice the rate of suicidal ideation compared to rate in non-bullied members, debilitating anxiety, clinical depression, PTSD or trauma-like symptoms, life-threatening cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases, compromise to the immune system, musculoskeletal problems, chemical brain changes that impair memory and regulation of emotions, and accelerated aging from chromosomal damage. Bullying/abusive conduct is an occupational health hazard. Because of bullying’s adverse impact on worker health and safety, personal dignity, well being, and right to perform without oppression by others, it is a Union concern.

  • Workplace Bullying and Harassment
    Law and Policy Remedies for Workplace Bullying in Higher Education: An Update and Further Developments in the Law and Policy John Dayton, J.D., Ed. D.* A dark and not so well kept secret lurks the halls of higher education institutions. Even among people who should certainly know better than to tolerate such abuse, personnel misconduct in the form of workplace bullying remains a serious but largely neglected problem.1 A problem so serious it can devastate academic programs and the people in them. If allowed to maraud unchecked, workplace bullies can poison the office culture; shut down progress and productivity; drive off the most promising and productive people; and make the workplace increasingly toxic for everyone who remains in the bully dominated environment.2 A toxic workplace can even turn deadly when stress begins to take its all too predictable toll on victims’ mental and physical health, or interpersonal stress leads to acts of violence.3 Higher education institutions are especially vulnerable to some of the most toxic forms of workplace bullying. When workplace bullies are tenured professors they can become like bullying zombies seemingly invulnerable to efforts to stop them while faculty, staff, students, and even university administrators run for cover apparently unable or unwilling to do anything about the loose-cannons that threaten to sink them all. This article examines the problem of workplace bullying in higher education; reviews possible remedies; and makes suggestions for law and policy reforms to more effectively address this very serious but too often tolerated problem in higher education. * This article is dedicated to the memory of Anne Proffitt Dupre, Co-Director of the Education Law Consortium, Professor of Law, Law Clerk for the U.S.
