    sustainability Article Implementing Sustainable Human Resources Practices: Leadership Style Matters Jaewan Yang 1 and Joon Yeol Lew 2,* 1 Department of Management and Organization Studies, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 107, Imun-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02450, Korea; [email protected] 2 College of Business Administration, University of Seoul, 163, Seoulsiripdae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02504, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-6490-2257 Received: 5 February 2020; Accepted: 24 February 2020; Published: 27 February 2020 Abstract: Findings of a positive relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWSs) and organizational performance indicate that an investment in a set of well-configured HR practices can promote strategic organizational goals. However, recent strategic human resource management (SHRM) research indicates that the positive link between HPWSs and performance might not hold universally across organizations because of poor implementation of the adopted HR systems. Drawing on leadership literature, we address this implementation problem by focusing on the moderating effect of frontline managers’ three leadership styles on the association between HPWSs and employees’ perceived support for innovation. Data collected in mainland China (429 employees on 66 work teams in 14 firms) showed that some leadership styles had significant moderating effects on that association and, subsequently, on team effectiveness. The findings contribute to the SHRM literature by demonstrating the importance of frontline managers’

I also dedicate this dissertation to my beloved country, Libya. iii Acknowledgements First, I am thankful to Almighty Allah for all the help and blessings he has bestowed upon me, including the abilities to finish this work. Certainly, many individuals deserve a special gratitude because without their supports, assistances, and encouragements, I would surely have not arrived to this point and accomplished this thesis. However, due to constraints of space, it is impossible to mention all the names. I would specifically thank my parents for their encouragement and support since my first enrolment in school and for their prayers throughout my life. My appreciation also goes to my supervisor Christopher Bovis for his support and advice during my PhD journey. Many thanks to the internal and the external examiners for taking out time to examine this thesis. My thanks to all my friends and colleagues at the University of Hull. Also, I would like to express my appreciation to my brothers and sisters and to all my relatives and friends in Libya for their continuous moral support during my study.

  • Sustainable Strategic Supply Chain Leadership and Management
    PM World Journal Sustainable Strategic Supply Chain Leadership & Management Vol. I, Issue V – December 2012 Pieter G. Steyn – Cranefield College www.pmworldjournal.net Featured Paper Sustainable Strategic Supply Chain Leadership and Management By Prof Pieter G Steyn, Principal Cranefield College of Project and Programme Management South Africa Abstract: How to achieve sustainable supply chain performance has remained a complex challenge. Full commitment to process orientation and process management is required. Cultures of bureaucratic organisations do not allow for strategic supply chain management, and the challenge is for them to transform to learning organisation paradigms and structures. The author advocates the effective utilisation of two cross- functional supply chain structures, being customer-focused (on the demand side) and capacity-focused (on the supply side), and a programme management system that includes a Balanced Scorecard for performance appraisal. In line with the conclusion of the Ohio State studies that leadership style effectiveness depends on situational factors, it is proposed that leaders should purposefully influence these factors by creating a supply chain configuration and culture conducive to learning and knowledge management. This will facilitate the successful application of a leadership style with high consideration and high initiating structure, which is essential. Moreover, it is critically important for organisations substantially to improve leadership acumen if they wish to achieve sustainable strategic supply chain success. Executives and supply chain managers have the added responsibility of acting as change agents for transforming the bureaucratic organisation to a learning entity. The need for sustainable strategic supply chain management Naslung and Williamson (2010) conclude that most people agree to the importance and potential benefits of supply chain management, but that it does not occur often enough in practice.

  • 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

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.
