Transformational Leadership: Industrial, Military, and Educational Impact

Green innovation and environmental performance: The role of green transformational leadership and green human resource management

Leadership is a key predictor of employee, team, and organizational creativity and innovation. Research in this area holds great promise for the development of intriguing theory and impactful policy implications, but only if empirical studies are conducted rigorously. In the current paper, we report a comprehensive review of a large number of empirical studies (N = 195) exploring leadership and workplace creativity and innovation. Using this article cache, we conducted a number of systematic analyses and built narrative arguments documenting observed trends in five areas. First, we review and offer improved definitions of creativity and innovation. Second, we conduct a systematic review of the main effects of leadership upon creativity and innovation and the variables assumed to moderate these effects. Third, we conduct a systematic review of mediating variables. Fourth, we examine whether the study designs commonly employed are suitable to estimate the causal models central to the field. Fifth, we conduct a critical review of the creativity and innovation measures used, noting that most are sub-optimal. Within these sections, we present a number of taxonomies that organize extant research, highlight understudied areas, and serve as a guide for future variable selection. We conclude by highlighting key suggestions for future research that we hope will reorient the field and improve the rigour of future research such that we can build more reliable and useful theories and policy recommendations.

Leadership, creativity, and innovation: A critical review and practical recommendations

Highlighting the implications of transformational leadership, the study examines the role of transformational leadership in predicting employee creativity The study also investigates the mediating role of innovation climate and moderating role of creative self-efficacy A study was carried out on a sample included a dyad of 372 employees and their immediate supervisors The findings indicate that transformational leaders can foster a climate for innovation that promotes employee creativity Further, a significant moderating role of creative self-efficacy was found in the relationship between innovation climate and employee creativity The findings reveal that employees with high creative-self-efficacy resort to creative behavior when they receive a supportive innovation climate

Transformational Leadership, Innovation Climate, Creative Self-Efficacy and Employee Creativity: A Multilevel Study

Transformational leadership, innovation climate, creative self-efficacy and employee creativity: a multilevel study.

Purpose – Among the different styles of leadership, transformational leadership has gained most attention from organisational researchers and academics. Although transformational leadership and its work-associated outcomes have been examined in previous literature, only a small number of studies highlighted the role of transformational leadership style in fostering employee creativity, mediated through their creative self-efficacy (CSE) in the context of Indian organisations. The purpose of this paper is to observe the effect of transformational leadership on employee creativity in small and medium sized IT companies, where CSE is proposed as a mediator and knowledge sharing as a moderator through which a transformational leader tends to influence the creativity of the employees. Design/methodology/approach – Data were gathered from 348 manager-employee dyads of small and medium size IT companies operating in India. They replied to questions about their leader’s transformational leadership style, employee...

Distributed storage systems use network coding techniques like replication, erasure codes, local codes, regeneration codes, hybrid code, double code and group repair code to store data efficiently and provide speedy recovery of data during failures. The performance of these approaches is mainly compared on the basis of storage required and repair bandwidth. Out of these, Group Repair Codes is the one that has optimal repair bandwidth for regeneration of nodes. Traditionally, the cost of regeneration was considered to be dependent on the number of nodes participating in the process and the amount of data being transferred. There was not much discussion on the heterogeneity of the network and the capacity of the links between the nodes. In real-time, the nodes are connected to each other with different link capacities due to which the same amount of data takes different duration in reaching its destination. Selecting the node with higher link capacity helps in reducing the data transfer time. So, considering the heterogeneous nature of the network, this paper reduces the regeneration time for Group Repair Codes (GRC). The node selection algorithms for data regeneration have been proposed for GRC and the results of simulation show significant improvement in the regeneration time. Further, the network coding in heterogeneous systems may be explored for factors like network traffic, intermediate nodes, data routing etc.
