Leadership Research by CMMU Faculty and PhD Candidate Accepted for Publication by Scopus Journal
|
A CMMU research report by Assistant Professor Dr. Sooksan Kantabutra and CMMU PhD Candidate Suparak Suriyankietkaew, entitled Examining Relationships Between Organic Leadership And Corporate Sustainability: A Proposed Model, has been accepted for publication by Journal of Applied Business Research indexed by Scopus.
Much of the leadership literature indicates that organizations adopting the Organic leadership paradigm tend to respond to the environmental change more effectively than those adopting other leadership paradigms, therefore more sustainable. However, a few published studies, if any, have specifically investigated the assumed relationship between Organic leadership and sustainability performance. Derived from the literature, a model expressing the relationships between Organic leadership characteristics and sustainability performance outcomes is proposed for future research.
In this paper, characteristics of Organic leadership such as shared vision and values, self-leading, self-managing, mutual sense-making are independent variables, while sustainability performance outcomes such as financial results, long-term shareholder value, customer satisfaction, brand and reputation are dependent variables. Relevant hypotheses and directions for testing them are also discussed.
