“…To measure transformational leadership, we adapted eight items from the prior study by 56 . Existing researchers widely used this scale 39,66 . A sample item is ‘I believe the leader can overcome any challenge at work.’ The Cronbach's alpha for transformational leadership was 0.938.…”

With the support of social exchange theory and social impact theory, this study aimed to examine the impact of transactional and transformational leadership on safety behaviour with the moderating role of cooperation facilitation in Chinese healthcare workers. This study used a simple random sampling method and data were collected from healthcare workers in Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu province, China. A total of 376 questionnaires were utilised and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) technique was used for data analysis. The result showed that transactional and transformational leadership positively impact safety behaviour of health care workers. The findings also indicated that cooperation facilitation positively moderates the relationship between transactional and transformational leadership on safety behaviour. This study provides an insightful contribution that leadership must encourage the workers to cooperate in safety‐related activities to make the work environment healthier and safer. Lastly, this study also discussed some theoretical and practical implications for researchers and policymakers.

“…In return, they receive timely appreciation and encouragement, thereby making organizations grow (Holt, 2018). As such, previous studies on the transformative leadership style consistently showed that the transformative leadership style has a positive relationship with innovative work behavior and delivery of results (Jiatong et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2020;Lai et al, 2020;Eliyana et al, 2019). The following questions will be explored in this study.…”

This analysis explores the relationship between transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles with staff work engagement at the department level in the public sector in Vietnam. Using a cluster sampling method, a total of 378 participants were selected and agreed to participate in a survey by completing a questionnaire on the relationship between leadership style and work engagement. All participants are attendees of a training course for department-level leaders at the School of Culture, Sports, and Tourism Administration Officers under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Vietnam. A regression was run on the collected data to test the hypothesis on the relationship between leadership styles and staff task performance. The regression results show that there is a significant indirect relationship between staff work engagement and innovative work behavior and task performance. In addition, there is a relatively positive relationship between the transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style of the department-level leaders in the Vietnamese public sector with staff work engagement, particularly innovative work behavior and task performance. On the contrary, laissez-faire leadership style negatively impacts staff work engagement and innovative work behavior. Staff work engagement is an integral part of the relationship between leadership style and leadership effectiveness. The findings suggest that the Vietnamese public sector should aim to identify transformational and transactional leaders. This research focuses on the department level and is limited to three leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) only. Future research therefore can expand the scope to higher levels than the department leaders.

“…Different leadership styles have been related to employee commitment, this includes between others transformational leadership ( Avolio et al, 2004 ; Keskes et al, 2018 ; Jiatong et al, 2022 ), servant leadership ( Lapointe and Vandenberghe, 2018 ), spiritual leadership ( Sapta et al, 2021 ), and authentic leadership ( Ausar et al, 2016 ). This can be explained because several leadership behaviors like decentralization in decision-making, perceived organizational support, perception of importance for the organization ( Meyer and Allen, 1991 ), and perceived organizational support ( Rhoades et al, 2001 ; Meyer et al, 2002 ) have been identified as determinants of AOC.…”

Organizations and their leaders are challenged to assume a responsible behavior given the increase of corporate scandals and the deterioration of employee commitment. However, relatively few studies have investigated the impact of responsible leadership (RL) on employee commitment and the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this relationship. Using the social identity theory this article examined the mediating effect of CSR practices in the relationship between RL and affective organizational commitment (AOC). Data collection was done through a paper survey completed by 309 full-time Colombian employees. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results showed that CSR fully mediated the influence of RL on AOC. Thus, RL is an effective mechanism to develop CSR practices that in turn increase the levels of AOC of employees.
