The Leadership Quarterly: State of the journal

The pandemic that shocked managers across the world: The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on leadership behavior

“…As stated in the call for papers for this special issue of The Leadership Quarterly, exogenous shocks not only create the opportunity to analyze how leadership is affected by such shocks, but also provide a novel ground for testing causal claims in leadership theories. When it comes to the research design employed to study the impact of exogenous shocks on leadership behavior or leadership outcomes, various strategies exist to infer causality (see Antonakis, 2017 , Antonakis et al, 2019 , Garretsen et al, 2020 ; see also Sieweke & Santoni, 2020 , for a recent review). The use of for instance instrumental variables, event studies, a regression discontinuity analysis (RDD) or a Differences-in-Differences analysis are all examples of well-known ‘tools’ that are increasingly used in leadership research to this end.…”

You Don’t Care for me, So What’s the Point for me to Care for Your Business? Negative Implications of Felt Neglect by the Employer for Employee Work Meaning and Citizenship Behaviors Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…When controlling for felt neglect, general angry mood, as expected for an instrumental variable, was not significantly correlated with RNF (partial r = 0.14, p = 0.151), PCV (partial r = 0.16, p = 0.100), or work meaning (partial r = − 0.11, p = 0.261). We conducted two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression analyses (Antonakis et al, 2019 ; Daryanto, 2020 ) (using HC4 for robust standard errors; Hayes & Cai, 2007 ), coupled with Hausman’s ( 1978 ) specification test and the weak instrument test (Staiger & Stock, 1997 ). We found that endogeneity concerns should not pose threat to our findings.…”

Eight Simple Guidelines for Improved Understanding of Transformations and Nonlinear Effects

“…To reduce such ambiguity, researchers should fully disclose their analytical procedures, including publishing analysis files as supplements to the articles. Fortunately, the field seems to be moving in this direction as prominent journals are making efforts to increase transparency in the empirical research process (Aguinis et al, 2018;Antonakis, Banks, et al, 2019;Banks et al, 2019;Bergh & Oswald, 2020;Chen, 2018;Grand et al, 2018).…”
