The Effect of Dual-Level Transformational Leadership on New Firm Performance

Abstract

In recent years, entrepreneurial bricolage acts as an effective way to solve the problem of resource constraint in new firms, and then gradually attracted attention from related scholars in entrepreneurship field. However, the existing literatures have an obviously insufficient of the implementation and driving factor of entrepreneurial bricolage behavior. Therefore, in this paper, we integrate entrepreneurial bricolage theory with transformational leadership theory to construct a theory model among dual-level (i.e., individual-focused and group-focused) transformational leadership, entrepreneurial bricolage and new firm performance by means of 194 questionnaires to empirical analysis. The results show that the entrepreneurial bricolage has the mediated role in the relationship between dual-level transformational leadership and new firm performance.

“…Furthermore, the positive association of PL-SP was consistent with earlier studies. Zhang et al (2021) argue that mono leadership style is insufficient in the complex manufacturing setting, stressing a mixture of diverse leadership styles that provides flexibility to rapid-evolving environments. PL fill this demand by combining two leadership styles (Zhang et al , 2015) and creating a synergy in the organisation to promote sustainability (Gebert et al , 2010).…”

“…Manufacturing firms have witnessed incredible transformations during the past century (Del Giudice et al , 2021). The firm’s prime objectives are expanding production scale, lowering costs and enhancing product quality (Zhang et al , 2021). To achieve the organisational goal, firms simultaneously focus on resource maximisation while increasing productivity and efficiency.…”

“…Considering the business’s fast-paced, ambiguous, volatile and intensely competitive nature, conventional leadership has constraints in adopting dynamic concepts such as EB (Zhang et al , 2021). Strategic leadership, particularly paradoxical leadership (PL), emerged as an effective solution for overcoming business ambiguity, uncertainty and complexity (Najmaei, 2018).…”

“…Integrating blockchain technology into existing enterprise environments can improve the security of enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) information, resist IoT attacks, and play a maintenance role (Stodt et al, 2021). Using blockchain as homomorphic encryption technology for distributed databases can ensure the security of databases, achieve a triple combination of high security, high transparency, and high efficiency, and contribute to improving cost-effectiveness (Ali et al, 2022) (Zhang et al, 2021A).…”

Review of Empirical Research on Leadership and Firm Performance

“…Recent studies on FP have found that leadership really matters to FP (Ali & Tang, 2016; Jing et al, 2019; Para-González et al, 2018; D. Wang et al, 2015; Zhang, Bao, et al, 2021).…”
