“…In the latter case, an organisation may adopt a system that has been applied successfully by other organisations as a way of enhancing its legitimacy (Cohen et al, 2007). Over time, this inter-organisational imitation may lead to the homogenisation of CG practice (Braiotta and Zhou, 2006;Lee, 2012). However, critics of institutional theory argue that this emphasis on imitation limits the theory's ability to account for variation and change (Lee, 2012).…”

Financial scandals in developed countries such as the USA and the UK have highlighted the need for greater transparency and credibility in order to protect shareholders and stakeholders alike. It has been argued that the audit committee (AC) is a key mechanism for achieving this transparency and protecting shareholders' interests. While there have been numerous attempts to investigate AC practice and effectiveness in developed countries, little is known about how these committees operate in developing countries such as Libya. Therefore, this research aims to: (1) explore the current role of ACs in the Libyan banking sector, (2) investigate the factors that affect their performance and (3) identify actions to enhance their effectiveness.To achieve these aims, the study employed a combination of quantitative (questionnaire survey) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) methods to understand how five groups of actors within Libya's banking sector (i.e. board and AC members, executive managers, and internal and external auditors) perceive the role and practice of ACs. The questionnaire survey was designed to collect initial data, while follow-up interviews sought to gain an in-depth understanding of all relevant aspects of the subject. In total, 218 survey responses were analysed, and 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior directors and managers.

“…En realidad, bajo esta mirada, los mismos están determinados fundamentalmente por el medio ambiente y es este el que delinea el comportamiento estratégico y la supervivencia de las organizaciones que logran adaptarse a los requerimientos del entorno (Lee, 2012;Rebstock y Bradbury-Huang, 2011;Orssatto y Clegg, 1999). Dicho de modo claro, la ecología de las organizaciones establece que el proceso de selección natural de las especies se aplica al caso de las organizaciones, lo cual implica que el propio escenario determinará quiénes sobrevivirán y, en tal sentido, el equipo de alta dirección estará compuesto por agentes pasivos con un mínimo impacto sobre el desarrollo corporativo (Pedraja-Rejas y Rodríguez-Ponce, 2004).…”

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo explorar la relación entre los estilos de liderazgo y el desempeño de los equipos de trabajo. Para este efecto, se trabaja con una muestra de 38 equipos de dirección intermedia en una organización del norte de Chile. Los resultados muestran que los estilos de liderazgo explican el 58,2% de la varianza en el desempeño de la muestra analizada. De igual modo, se debe destacar que el liderazgo transformacional (Test t= 1,907; p < 0,065), el liderazgo transaccional (Test t= 2,610; p< 0,013) y el estilo laissez faire (Test t= -1,867; p< 0,071) revelan pertinencia estadística a la hora de exponer el desempeño de los equipos estudiados. Con estos resultados, se discuten los alcances, limitaciones e implicancias de la investigación.Palabras clave: liderazgo, desempeño, equipos de trabajo, dirección intermedia. The Relationship between Leadership Styles and the Performance of Intermediate Management Teams: An Exploratory Study from ChileThis research aims to explore the relationship between leadership styles and the performance of work teams. For this purpose, we work with a sample of 38 intermediate management teams in an organization in northern Chile. The results show that leadership styles explain 58.2% of the variance in the performance of the teams in the analyzed sample. Similarly, it should be noted that the transformational leadership (Test t = 1,907, p <0.065), transactional leadership (Test t = 2,610, p <0.013) and laissez-faire style (Test t = -1,867, p <0,071) are statistically relevant to explain the performance of the teams studied. With these results the scopes, limitations and implications of the research are discussed.Keywords: Leadership, performance, work teams, intermediate management.
