Exploring the link between integrated leadership-in-government and follower happiness: the case of Dubai
本研究首次在迪拜及海湾地区提出政府综合领导力概念,通过调查900多名政府员工,发现管理者综合领导力表现显著影响员工工作满意度和自评绩效所衡量的幸福感。
This study develops a concept of integrated leadership-in-government as a global and multifaceted construct for the first time in the Dubai and wider Gulf context. Leadership-in-government combines eight public leadership roles articulated in recent literature, as performed by managers at all levels within the government hierarchy. The eight public leadership roles are: accountability, rule-following, political loyalty, network governance, task-oriented, relations-oriented, change-oriented and diversity-oriented leadership. Data is gathered via a survey of over 900 employees in Dubai government organisations. Findings from the empirical analysis suggest that a manager’s performance of integrated leadership-in-government has a significant effect on employee happiness, as measured through job satisfaction and self-perceived performance.
