The focal article (Miron et al., 2024) asks the important question of how gender influences the effect of managerial power on actions to promote gender equality in the workplace. The authors propose that holding conflicting identities (i.e., gender identity and managerial identity) may lead to differential justice standards. While we agree with the...

Purpose The purpose of the study is an in-depth exploration of the processes through which a leader develops their leader identity in strength, meaning and integration, with resulting enrichment outcomes. Design/methodology/approach Using multi-domain leader identity theory, this study provides an in-depth exploration of the processes through whic...

Over the past decades, the Western workforce has experienced two notable demographic shifts: there has been an increase in the percentage of women occupying leadership roles and the workforce is aging. Considering these two trends in unison, it would be intuitive that the future workforce will be defined by an increasingly age and gender-diverse gr...

Despite its theoretical grounding in the personal moral characteristics of leaders, most research on Brown et al.’s (2005) ethical leadership construct has tended to ignore the personal life (friends/family) aspects of leaders. In this study, we consider ethical leadership behavior in both work and non-work (i.e., with friends and family) domains a...

Identity construction has been widely studied, garnering scholarly attention from different epistemological and methodological traditions. Especially research on the identity construction process of identity work has prospered in recent years. Identity construction is a fascinating field of study for management scholars with important implications...

An increasing number of individuals in leadership roles have a serious leisure interest. We develop a theoretical model of how pursuing serious leisure impacts leaders’ performance at work. We propose that a serious leisure interest, through its defining characteristics (effort in mastering a skill, perseverance through adversity, a special ethos,...

Our knowledge and practice of leader development is grounded mostly in leadership at work, with little focus on the common experience of leading both work and in a volunteer context. To better understand how leaders develop as a result of leading not only in work but also in volunteer roles, we interviewed 40 leaders and sought to understand their...

To enrich the knowledge of the value of ethical leadership in a more entrepreneurial setting, we focus on technology-based young firms and theorize through the lens of CEO-TMT interface whether and how founder-CEOs’ ethical leadership influences young firms’ ambidexterity. We argue that founder-CEOs’ ethical leadership can enhance young firms’ ambi...

We draw on interviews with 22 religious leaders to develop a model that highlights how these individuals confront organizational change. Our model provides insight into the perceptions of leaders who are negotiating change in an unusual and turbulent organizational context. It also expands knowledge of how change is confronted in situations where o...

Given changes in business and society, the romance of leadership theory, which describes a glorification of the perceived influence of leaders on organizational outcomes, is arguably more relevant than at its conception over thirty years ago. This paper presents four studies aimed to replicate Meindl and Ehrlich (1987) early experiment on the roman...

This paper describes a classroom exercise related to career development that helps students explore career paths found in their major. While we primarily focus on the Human Resource Management (HRM) major, we provide guidance for adapting the exercise to different majors as well as first year business students. First, we summarize career developmen...

This research presents a cross-domain exploration of leader identity. Drawing from theory about multidomain leader development and leader identity social processes, we examine how endorsement as a leader by those internal and external to work can impact an individual's own self-internalized sense of identity as a leader at work. Specifically, we ex...

The purpose of the present project is to describe a cohort-based intradepartmental leadership program at our medical school. Leadership development programs are becoming popular in academic medicine as institutions seek solutions to problems. We developed and implemented a cohort-based leadership program within the Department of Foundational Medica...

Two important characteristics of contemporary teamwork are working with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds and working in virtual teams. Hence, preparing students to successfully navigate through the business world must include developing these two skills. To investigate learning for both cross-cultural and virtual collaboration, we condu...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to advance our understanding of the role of risk in leader identity development for women by identifying processes women leaders employ to overcome perceived risk. Design/methodology/approach Twenty-five women leaders in the Irish healthcare sector took part in an 18-month long identity-based leadership develop...

Purpose The current study aims to examine stress mindset as a moderator of the relationship between the work–family interface – work–family conflict (WFC) and enrichment (WFE) – and two work outcomes: job satisfaction and turnover intentions. Design/methodology/approach To examine these relationships, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted...

The purpose of the present project is to describe a cohort‐based Department‐based leadership program at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. Leadership development programs are commonplace in the corporate world and becoming more popular in the academic sphere as institutions of higher learning continue to seek increasingly b...

The purpose of this study is to explore conditions in which innovative behaviour can have either desirable or undesirable effects. The current study surveyed employees who remained in an organization following downsizing. Voice costs and perceived influence were measured as boundary conditions. Based on our understanding of Conservation of Resource...

Empirical research suggests that focusing on one’s identity as a leader may enhance ongoing leadership development. As a complement to traditional theory- and skills-based approaches to leader development, we offer an identity-based, multidomain approach to leadership development through a series of integrated in-class exercises. Specifically, thes...

Globally, the workforce is changing. By 2050, the number of people over the age of 60 around the world is estimated to be over 21.1 per cent (United Nations 2013). These aging populations, coupled with increasing national retirement ages and decreasing retirement benefits, are creating a new challenge for organizational leaders as employees continu...

Most leaders develop through experiences across multiple domains of life (work, community, friends/family), yet an understanding of how this process occurs remains largely unexplored. We propose a theory to explain how leaders develop across multiple domains by explicating both the process and content of leader development. Using a sensemaking fram...

This paper discusses how taking a multi-domain leadership approach to leadership development can enhance leadership skills. We suggest that applying experiences from the community, family and friends, and work domains will accelerate leadership development in a way that a single-domain focus (such as only focusing on leadership development in the w...

We propose a model of multidomain leadership and explain how it drives leader and follower well-being and stress. Multidomain leadership engagement, or the application of leader knowledge, skills, and abilities across domains, results in either an enriching or impairing experience for the leader. The result is influenced by the leader's self-regula...

Most extant leadership research has focused exclusively on leadership in the workplace. We propose that leadership research would benefit from a multi-domain perspective that includes multiple domains of a leader’s life including work, community involvement, and family/friends. We begin by explaining the concept of multi-domain leadership. Next, we...

The freedom to try new things plays a vital role for employees engaging in creative endeavors. This freedom can be influenced by one's relationship with her supervisor, relationship with her team, and various work pressures. One of the first steps to reaching creative output is to have a playful attitude toward work where there is encouragement and...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways in which leaders influence follower’s work-life management. Specifically, the authors propose that personal (positive affect), social (managerial support for work-family balance), and job (autonomy) resources mediate the relationships between transformational leadership and work-family conf...

Employing a multisource assessment methodology using the Leadership Code instrument, this study explores which leadership dimensions predict leadership effectiveness across different rating sources in a public sector organisation. The findings of this study suggest that different rating sources do indeed differentially value different leadership co...

Purpose In many cases, immigrants work in jobs that are incommensurate with their qualifications and work experience. The aim of this study is to examine the experience of this “talent waste” in Polish immigrants working in the Irish labour market. Design/methodology/approach The study used a mixed method approach. First, 309 Polish immigrants wer...

Numerous narrative reviews related to innovation in work organizations have been published, yet very few quantitative reviews have been conducted. The present meta-analysis investigates the relationships between four predictor types (individual differences, motivation, job characteristics, and contextual influences) and individual-level workplace i...

This paper presents empirical research analyzing the relationship between work-family climate (operationalized in terms of three work-family climate sub-scales), organizational leadership (i.e., senior manager) characteristics, organizational commitment and turnover intent among 526 employees from 37 different hotels across the US. Using multilevel...

This book is a beginning, a first step, in taking leader development in organizations beyond conventional wisdom toward a scientifically sound research-based set of principles and practices. The authors looked beyond their own academic disciplines to bring to bear accumulated wisdom from researchers who have developed well-established and accepted...

A frontier of leadership development is examined involving the respective roles of levels-of-analysis and identity in constructing an integrated development system. An approach is described in which individual and relational leadership identities are the focus of developmental efforts at lower organizational levels (e.g., individual contributor and...

With smaller, more efficient workforces, hotel organizations are competing to retain highly valued managers. Work stress and burnout are often cited as precursors to work and family stress, and together these factors influence employee intentions to leave an organization. However, work and family issues have received little attention in the hospita...

This paper presents empirical research analyzing the relationship between work-family climate in hotels (operationalized in terms of three work-family climate sub-scales), organizational leadership (i.e., hotel general manager) characteristics, organizational commitment and turnover intent among 526 department managers employed at 37 different hote...
