Behavioural theory of leadership

In this dissertation, I examined the major leadership theories as psychological processes to determine whether such analyses can contribute to a prediction of effective leadership. I synthesized both trait theories and theories based on personal characteristics to explore leadership as a psychological process and showed that they can be used to predict effective leadership. An exploration of leadership as a psychological process demonstrated a significant role in determining how organizational psychology and different theoretical perspectives can be used to predict effective leadership. The study of major leadership theories and psychological concepts that can be used to predict leadership effectiveness has led researchers to realize several important findings. The core results obtained indicate that leadership effectiveness is dependent on an individual’s capacity to demonstrate specific behaviors, traits, and attributes (Bolden et al., 2003; Brouer et al., 2013; Cavazotte et al., 2012; Derue et al., 2011). Such behaviors serve an important role in determining the leadership styles used to improve performance, thereby emerging as predictors of leadership effectiveness (Datta, 2015; Mühlberger & Traut-Mattausch, 2015; Walumbwa et al., 2012). Some of these valuable and important traits that effective leaders must possess include: capacity to manage the interpersonal dynamics (Avolio et al., 2010; Boehm et al., 2015), ability to bring together diverse individuals tasks (Brouer et al., 2013; Caligiuri & Tarique, 2012), empower followers to perform tasks without manipulation or coercion (Burns, 2010; Michaelis et al., 2010), and consider their followers as an essential asset required for the execution of the developed plans (Oreg & Berson, 2015; Piccolo et al., 2012) among others. Furthermore, there are several skills that are linked to effective leader development. Such skills include self-awareness skills, such as emotional awareness abilities; self-regulation capabilities, such as self-control; and the capacity for self-motivation, including optimism (Brouer et al., 2013; Colbert et al., 2012).

The trait theory of leadership suggests that personality traits influence leader emergence and effectiveness. While initial empirical evidence supports this perspective, the majority of studies have examined the relationship between personality and leadership using self ratings of personality. We believe that this research may underestimate the relationship between personality and leadership.

ABSTRACT: Utilizing research to identify an effective leader is essential for creating a strategic business operational leadership model. The purpose of this literature review is to focus on select objective and less objective traits of leadership among individuals who are in those positions. We explore literature on objective leadership traits such as gender, age, education level, and job satisfaction level and on the less objective traits such as integrity, energy level, and business knowledge, among others. The goal is to evaluate the hypothesis that some, if not all, of these traits contribute significantly to effective leadership by analyzing the available literature about traits of an effective leader. We will explore the theories that have been proposed on this subject in the literature, identify to what degree researchers have investigated these theories, and try to confirm which of these traits continue to significantly be related to successful leadership. The purpose of th...

The aim of this dissertation project was to develop and test a new model of leadership, incorporating the key factors that influence leadership behavior. Article 1 (Chapter 2) reviewed contemporary leadership models focusing on factors which influence leadership behavior, from a traditional as well as a modern perspective on leadership. This theoretical basis led to the development of the ‘Dynamic Five-Factor Model of Leadership’ (Seiler & Pfister, 2009). The five factors are: (1) the leader’s individual competence, (2) the group, (3) the organization, (4) the general context, and (5) the immediate situation. The article explains the model in detail and discusses different applications. Study 1 and 2 (Chapter 3) tested the model’s reliability, validity, and applicability. Both studies showed that the model was a good tool to analyze, which factors within a specific situation were perceived as most important for one’s own leadership behavior. Two samples of Swiss university students ...

The purpose of the quantitative correlational study was to research the relationship between leadership styles of higher education administrators and their faculty and staff’s perceived psychological empowerment. The theoretical foundations are based around the Full Range Leadership model and Psychological Empowerment models. The Full Range Leadership model includes three specific leadership styles of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire. The study was comprised of three research questions, which were designed to determine the relationship of each of the leadership styles with perceived psychological empowerment. The research was undertaken at a public higher education institution in upstate New York. The sample for the study included 72 faculty and staff participants. Individual leadership styles were correlated with individual faculty and staff’s psychological empowerment using a Spearman’s rank-order correlation. The findings indicated that transformational leadership style has the greatest positive influence on faculty and staff’s psychological empowerment ( r s = .38, p = .001). However, for this study there was not a significant correlation between transactional leadership and perceived psychological empowerment ( r s = .15, p = .10). There was a negative correlation between laissez-faire leadership and perceived psychological empowerment ( r s = -.36, p = .001). It can be stated that this research further supports that transformational leadership of administrators results in the highest levels of faculty and staff psychological empowerment.

Transformational leadership (TL) has been found popular in many industries in the United States and abroad for the perceived transformational leaders' effectiveness in improving occupational safety. There is a lack of empirical evidence to confirm these claims for safe occupational driving. This phenomenological study attempted to fill this knowledge gap in the electric utility industry where employees must drive in all weather conditions to restore power to customers. The conceptual framework for the study was based on leadership and motivation theories of Burns and Maslow. The research questions explored the influence of (a) TL on safe driving performance improvement in organizations and (b) emotional intelligence (EI) on leaders' efficiency to improve safe driving performance in organizations. These questions were addressed using a 14-item in-depth, open-ended interview questionnaire by a convenience sample of 18 management and 12 union-represented personnel drawn from 5 U.S. electric utility companies using the snowball method. Data were analyzed using NVivo 10 software and were interpreted using the methodological framework of Leedy and Ormrod, and Maxwell. The findings suggested that (a) TL influenced safe driving performance through these leaders' idealized influence, inspirational motivation, and intellectual stimulation; and (b) EI ineffectively and unreliably influenced safe driving improvement, but it improved organizational trust through the leaders' empathy and drivers' empowerment. Individualized consideration, while acknowledged as desirable, was least important and was widely lacking. The implications for positive social change include promoting TL style in other industries, raising employees' commitment and contribution to safe driving performance improvement, and improving organizational trust as well as public safety.

Title: helmsman of the masses evaluate the opinion leadership of large language models in the werewolf game.

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have exhibited memorable strategic behaviors in social deductive games. However, the significance of opinion leadership exhibited by LLM-based agents has been overlooked, which is crucial for practical applications in multi-agent and human-AI interaction settings. Opinion leaders are individuals who have a noticeable impact on the beliefs and behaviors of others within a social group. In this work, we employ the Werewolf game as a simulation platform to assess the opinion leadership of LLMs. The game features the role of the Sheriff, tasked with summarizing arguments and recommending decision options, and therefore serves as a credible proxy for an opinion leader. We develop a framework integrating the Sheriff role and devise two novel metrics for evaluation based on the critical characteristics of opinion leaders. The first metric measures the reliability of the opinion leader, and the second assesses the influence of the opinion leader on other players' decisions. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate LLMs of different scales. In addition, we collect a Werewolf question-answering dataset (WWQA) to assess and enhance LLM's grasp of the game rules, and we also incorporate human participants for further analysis. The results suggest that the Werewolf game is a suitable test bed to evaluate the opinion leadership of LLMs and few LLMs possess the capacity for opinion leadership.

Dissertation Presentation in the Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice

Join us for a dissertation presentation by Courtney Reim on Monday, April 8, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Courtney E. Reim examined what Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) certified Montessori teachers for students ages 3-6 years in the United States reported regarding scientific observation as a disposition and as a disposition in action to better understand teachers' application. Employing a national survey and case study her research concluded that:

• Teachers' applications of scientific observation for assessment were prevalent with some degree of predefined aims and objectives;
• School system challenges existed for developing and sustaining scientific observation procedures;
• C ollegial dissemination occurred between teachers when time and organizational constraints permitted;
• Teachers  understood the importance of scientific observation for assessment, but not all aspects were evident in their practice.
