LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZATION, Yukl G.

THE NATURE OF
LEADERSHIP

dr Slavka Draskovic, http://www.esb.edu.rs/
THE NATURE OF LEADERSHIP
• Why leadership has been defined in so
many different ways?
• The controversy about differences
between leadership and management
• The different indicators used to assess
leadership effectiveness
• What aspects of leadership have been
studied the most during the past 50
years?
DEFINITIONS OF
LEADERSHIP
• The behavior of an individual…directing
the activities of a group toward a shared
goal. (Hemphill & Coons, 1957)
• The process of influencing the activities
of an organized group toward goal
achievement. (Rauch & Behling, 1984.)
• The process whereby one or more
individuals succeed in attempting to
frame and define the reality of others.
(Smircich & Morgan, 1982.)

• Is articulating visions, embodying values,
and creating the environment within
which things can be accomplished.”
(Richards & Engle, 1986.)
• The process of giving purpose
(meaningful direction) to collective
effort, and causing willing effort to be
expended to achieve purpose. (Jacobs &
Jaques, 1990.)

• The ability to step outside the culture…
to start evolutionary changes
processes that are more adaptive
(Schein, 1992.)
• The ability of an individual to influence,
motivate, and enable others to
contribute toward the effectiveness
and success of the organization…(House
et al., 1999.)
A specialized role or
a shared influence
process?
Leadership vs.
Management
• Stability, order, and efficiency
•
•
•
•
•

Flexibility, innovation and adaptation
How things get done?
Get people to perform better
What things mean to people
Get people to agree about the most
important things to be done
• People who do things right
• People who do the right thing
But associating leading and managing with
different types of people is not supported by
Defining managing and
leading as

1. Distinct roles
2. Process
3. Relationships
1. Distinct roles

• Leadership as one of 10 managerial roles
(Mintzberg, 1973.)
2. Process
Processes and outcomes

Predictability and order:
Setting operational goals
Organizing and staffing
Monitoring results and solving
problems

Organizational change:
Developing a vision
Communicating
Motivating and inspiring (Kotter, 1990.)
3. Relationships

• Authority relationship
• Multidirectional influence
relationship (Rost, 1991.)
Direct vs. Indirect
Leadership
•
•

Not mutually exclusive
Can be used together

Indirect
•
•

•

“Cascading” of effects
Influence over formal programs,
management systems, and structural
forms
Influence over the organization culture
Leadership is the process of influencing
others to understand and agree about
whatworking definition it,
A needs to be done and how to do
and the process of facilitating individual
and collective efforts to accomplish
shared objectives.

Major Research
Approaches
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

The trait approach
The behavior approach
The power-influence approach
The situational approach
The integrative approach (involves more
than one type of leadership variable)
1. The trait approach

• One of the earliest
• Underlying this approach was the
assumption that some people are natural
leaders, born as leaders, and that it can not be
learned easily.
• Hundreds of trait studies during the 1930s
and 1940s – to discover these qualities
• The predominant research method was to
look for a correlation between a leader
attributes and a criterion of leaders success
• Failed to find any traits that would guarantee
leadership success
• However- helped us understand how traits are
related to leadership behavior and effectiveness
•

•
•

2.The behavior
Began in the earlyapproach
1950s after many
researches became discouraged with the trait
approach
Look into behavior - what managers actually
do on the job
Two subcategories:
1. How they spent their time and the typical pattern
of activities. Some, how they cope with demands,
constrains…Use descriptive methods
(observation, diaries, questionnaires)
2. Identifying effective leadership behavior, ..Use
survey field study with BDQ (behavioral
description questionnaire)
Hundreds of studies examined correlation between l.
behavior and various indicators of l. effectiveness
3. The power-influence
approach
Examines influence process between leaders
and other people
Leader centered perspective - Assumption that
causality is unidirectional, leader act, followers react.
Power is important not only to influence subordinates
but peers, superiors, people outside the organization.
Method questionnaire to measure leader power to l.
effectiveness

Influence tactics research – how leaders influence
the attitudes and behavior of followers

Participative leadership – how power is shared and
about empowerment of followers. Rooted in the
tradition of behavior research
4. The situational
approach

• Emphasizes the importance of contextual
factors that influence leadership process: the
characteristics of the followers, the type of
organization, the nature of the work of l. unit, external
environment

• The approach has two subcategories
• Research to discover the extent to witch type of
organization, level of management and culture
influence leadership processes. Method:
Comparative study of two or more situations.
• To identify aspects of the situation that “moderate”
the relationship of leaders attributes (traits, skills,
behavior) to leadership effectiveness. Contingency
theories of leadership
•

5. The integrative
approach
Involves more than one type of leadership
variable in the same study (two or more).

• But it is still rare to find a theory that includes
all of them (traits, behavior, influential
process, situational variables, and outcomes)
• Example of integrative approach– selfconcept theory of charismatic leadership
(explains why the followers of some leaders
are willing to make sacrifices to accomplish
group objectives)

Theory
2. Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Theory
(explain leadership process, activities of the leader… or identify
what leaders must do to become effective, conditions to use

  • 5. • The process of giving purpose (meaningful direction) to collective effort, and causing willing effort to be expended to achieve purpose. (Jacobs & Jaques, 1990.) • The ability to step outside the culture… to start evolutionary changes processes that are more adaptive (Schein, 1992.) • The ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization…(House et al., 1999.)
  • 6. A specialized role or a shared influence process?
  • 7. Leadership vs. Management • Stability, order, and efficiency • • • • • Flexibility, innovation and adaptation How things get done? Get people to perform better What things mean to people Get people to agree about the most important things to be done • People who do things right • People who do the right thing But associating leading and managing with different types of people is not supported by
  • 8. Defining managing and leading as 1. Distinct roles 2. Process 3. Relationships
  • 9. 1. Distinct roles • Leadership as one of 10 managerial roles (Mintzberg, 1973.)
  • 10. 2. Process Processes and outcomes Predictability and order: Setting operational goals Organizing and staffing Monitoring results and solving problems Organizational change: Developing a vision Communicating Motivating and inspiring (Kotter, 1990.)
  • 11. 3. Relationships • Authority relationship • Multidirectional influence relationship (Rost, 1991.)
  • 12. Direct vs. Indirect Leadership • • Not mutually exclusive Can be used together Indirect • • • “Cascading” of effects Influence over formal programs, management systems, and structural forms Influence over the organization culture
  • 13. Leadership is the process of influencing others to understand and agree about whatworking definition it, A needs to be done and how to do and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objectives.
  • 14. • • • • • • What Leaders Can Influence? by The interpretation of external events members The choice of objectives and strategies to pursue The motivation of members to achieve the objectives The mutual trust and cooperation of members The organization and coordination of work activities The allocation of resources to activities and objectives
  • 15. What Leaders Can Influence? • The development of member skills and confidence • The learning and sharing of new knowledge by members • The enlistment of support and cooperation from outsiders • The design of formal structure, programs, and systems • The shared beliefs and values of members – culture
  • 16. LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS The consequences of the leader’s actions for followers and other organization stakeholders • The performance and growth of the leader’s group or organization • Follower satisfaction • Commitment to the group objectives • Development of followers
  • 17. Immediate and Delayed Outcomes Causal Chain of Effects from Two Types of Leader Behavior Inspiring vision Follower effort Quality + Productivit y Training + Coaching Follower skills Unit profits
  • 18. Major Research Approaches 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The trait approach The behavior approach The power-influence approach The situational approach The integrative approach (involves more than one type of leadership variable)
  • 19. 1. The trait approach • One of the earliest • Underlying this approach was the assumption that some people are natural leaders, born as leaders, and that it can not be learned easily. • Hundreds of trait studies during the 1930s and 1940s – to discover these qualities • The predominant research method was to look for a correlation between a leader attributes and a criterion of leaders success • Failed to find any traits that would guarantee leadership success • However- helped us understand how traits are related to leadership behavior and effectiveness
  • 20. • • • 2.The behavior Began in the earlyapproach 1950s after many researches became discouraged with the trait approach Look into behavior - what managers actually do on the job Two subcategories: 1. How they spent their time and the typical pattern of activities. Some, how they cope with demands, constrains…Use descriptive methods (observation, diaries, questionnaires) 2. Identifying effective leadership behavior, ..Use survey field study with BDQ (behavioral description questionnaire) Hundreds of studies examined correlation between l. behavior and various indicators of l. effectiveness
  • 21. 3. The power-influence approach Examines influence process between leaders and other people Leader centered perspective - Assumption that causality is unidirectional, leader act, followers react. Power is important not only to influence subordinates but peers, superiors, people outside the organization. Method questionnaire to measure leader power to l. effectiveness Influence tactics research – how leaders influence the attitudes and behavior of followers Participative leadership – how power is shared and about empowerment of followers. Rooted in the tradition of behavior research
  • 22. 4. The situational approach • Emphasizes the importance of contextual factors that influence leadership process: the characteristics of the followers, the type of organization, the nature of the work of l. unit, external environment • The approach has two subcategories • Research to discover the extent to witch type of organization, level of management and culture influence leadership processes. Method: Comparative study of two or more situations. • To identify aspects of the situation that “moderate” the relationship of leaders attributes (traits, skills, behavior) to leadership effectiveness. Contingency theories of leadership
  • 23. • 5. The integrative approach Involves more than one type of leadership variable in the same study (two or more). • But it is still rare to find a theory that includes all of them (traits, behavior, influential process, situational variables, and outcomes) • Example of integrative approach– selfconcept theory of charismatic leadership (explains why the followers of some leaders are willing to make sacrifices to accomplish group objectives)
  • 25. Bases for Comparing Leadership Theories 1. Key variables 1. 2. 3. Characteristics of the Leader Characteristics of the Followers Characteristics of the Situation 2. Level of conceptualization 1. 2. 3. 4. An intra-individual process A dyadic process A group process An organizational process 3. Other 1. 2. 3. Leader- vs. Follower-Centered Theory Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Theory Universal vs. Contingency Theory
  • 26. Key Variables in Leadership Theories I Characteristics of the Leader • • • • • • • Traits (motives, personality, values) Confidence and optimism Skills and expertise Behavior Integrity and ethics Influence tactics Attributions about followers
  • 27. Key Variables in Leadership Theories II • Characteristics of the Followers • • • • • • • Traits (needs, values, self-concepts) Confidence and optimism Skills and expertise Attributions about leader Trust in the leader Task commitment and effort Satisfaction with job and leader
  • 28. Key Variables in Leadership Theories III Characteristics of the Situation • • • • • • • Type of organizational unit Size of unit Position power and authority of leader Task structure and complexity Task interdependence Environmental uncertainty External dependencies
  • 29. Casual Relationships Among the Primary Types of leadership Processes
  • 30. Level of Conceptualization 1. 2. 3. 4. An intra-individual process A dyadic process A group process An organizational process
  • 32. 1. Intra-Individual Processes • Processes within a single individual. • Theories of decision making, motivation, and cognition.
  • 33. 2. Dyadic Process • Relationship between a leader and another individual who is usually a follower. • Reciprocal influence process.
  • 34. 3. Group Process • Leadership is a group process. • Leadership role in a task group. • How a leader contributes to group effectiveness
  • 35. 4. Organizational Processes A group exists in a larger social system • • • • Adaptation to the environment. Identifying threats and opportunities. Strategy for adapting. Efficiency of the transformation process.
  • 36. Other Bases for Comparing Leadership Theories (Besides Key variables & Level of conceptualization) 1. Leader- vs. Follower-Centered Theory 2. Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Theory (explain leadership process, activities of the leader… or identify what leaders must do to become effective, conditions to use particular type of behavior effectively) 3. Universal vs. Contingency Theory (applies to all types of situations or describes an aspect of leadership that applies to some situation but not to others.)
