- Transformational Leadership, Affective Commitment and Individual PerformancePublication . Ribeiro, Neuza; Silva, Salomé; Gomes, DanielThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between Transformational Leadership and employees’ Affective Commitment and Individual Performance. Transformational Leadership consists in four components: (1) idealized influence (charisma); (2) inspirational motivation; (3) intellectual stimulation; and (4) individualized consideration. The transformational leader is a positive reference, a role model, and a source of inspiration for employees. Transformational leaders promote a high level of employees’ commitment in order to do more effort and achieve high levels of performance, as well as high moral and ethical standards. The study includes a sample of 149 employees of an international Group, from functions as Sales Assistant and Store Manager, in Portugal. The results reveal that the Transformational Leadership explains 12% of the Affective Commitment and 19% of the Individual Performance and the Affective Commitment explains 14% of the Individual Performance. This research may be relevant to leaders by providing insights regarding the impact that Transformational Leadership has on affective commitment and individual performance, and examining how affective commitment potentially increase the individual performance. From this research it can be concluded that the Transformational Leadership promotes the employees’ involvement, produce great changes and high performance, thus contributing to the sustainable growth of the organization.
- Improving stakeholder engagement in local strategic planning - experience sharing based on Portuguese examplesPublication . Lopes, Ana Sofia; Fernandes, Maria Eduarda; Sargento, AnaParticipatory local governance refers to any mechanism that promotes the involvement of stakeholders in the public policy decision-making process. It goes from weaker initiatives related to conveying information on policy decisions in more effective means to stronger engaging processes in which stakeholders have an actual influence in the public policy (ranging from planning to implementation, monitoring and evaluating). Current context has triggered a fast dissemination of participatory initiatives, prompted by the expected benefits as increasing local government responsiveness and accountability; getting a better match between policy decisions and beneficiaries’ preferences; acknowledging stakeholders’ expertise; improving confidence on politicians; promoting informal knowledge transfer; reinforcing citizens’ capability to intervene and to commit upon the decisions and contributing to a higher implementation success. Yet, there are also some recognized risks as the prolonged decision-making process, overstated stakeholders’ expectations, privileging some specific groups of civil society, lack of technical skills of stakeholders or the possible biased motivation of local authorities. In this context, the main aim of this paper consists in sharing practice based experience on collaborative local strategic planning, highlighting specific methods that have been put in place by the authors to enhance stakeholders’ engagement, trying to surpass some of the identified risks. This experience was gained through the authors’ participation, as an external and independent expertise team, in three Portuguese participatory processes. By combining several group dynamics and problem solving tools, the methods shared in this paper allowed for the development of local strategic plans, built by stakeholders, ensuring a high commitment with the planned objectives and actions. In two of the tree cases analysed, such plans were used to apply to regional policy instruments of ESF for 2014-2020, having been highly recognized by the Structural Funds managing authorities, thus resulting in the allocation of important funds to local entities, vital for territorial development. An evaluation of the applied methods is provided, envisioned to support future similar initiatives. The collaborative methods have received an encouraging feedback expressed both by the citizen representatives and local authorities, being the quality and diversity of stakeholders and the methodology applied by the expertise team referred as its main strengths. Therefore, these can be considered good practice examples for achieving more effective means of local participatory mechanisms as they support independent debate groups, promote equal participation, knowledge sharing, new ideas and consensus reaching, building on local stakeholders technical skills. In sum, the applied methodologies contribute for a strong involvement of stakeholders and actual influence on public policy decisions.
- The Impacts of Perceptions of Justice and Organizational Support on Employee Performance: The Moderating Role of Satisfaction with Management, in the Portuguese ContextPublication . Coelho, Arnaldo; Virgolino, Ana; Ribeiro, Neuza; Weersma, L.The objective of this paper is to identify the impact of perceived organizational justice (POJ) and perceived organizational support (POS) on the individual performance (IP) of employees and on burnout (BUR), considering the moderating role of satisfaction with organizational management (SOM). The study uses a structured questionnaire to gather self-reporting data from a cross-sectional sample of 407 employees. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the proposed hypotheses, and a multi-group analysis is conducted to find how the perception SOM can impact on the suggested relationships. The results show that POJ and POS have a positive impact on psychological contract (PC) and affective commitment (AC). Happiness (HAP) and AC have a positive impact on IP and PC has a negative impact on the BUR. It was also possible to conclude that SOM moderates the relationships between PC and BUR and, between leader-member exchange (LMX) and AC. This investigation provides a better understanding and integration of these concepts and relationship of moderation in a single study and provides a model that depicts a chain of important effects that may inform strategies to secure positive human resources management outcomes.
