Abstract

The article offers a theory of how leadership affects the implementation of management reforms. The central premise of this theory is that leadership can have important but easy-to-miss indirect effects on organizational factors that shape reform outcomes. To test this question, we examine how transformational leadership influences the implementation of performance reforms, using performance information use as a dependent variable. Previous research suggests that leadership can affect how performance information is used among employees but underspecifies the theoretical mechanisms by which this influence occurs. This article develops a theoretical model that proposes that transformational leaders “set the table” for performance information use via a positive but indirect effect on two mediating factors, goal clarity and organizational culture. A structural equation model using self-reported performance information use as a dependent variable provides empirical evidence consistent with our theory. El artículo ofrece una teoría que explica como el liderazgo afecta la ejecución de las reformas gerenciales. La premisa central de esta teoría es que el liderazgo puede tener efectos indirectos importantes, pero fácilmente pasados por alto, sobre los aspectos de la organización que determinan los resultados de la reforma. Para analizar esta pregunta, examinamos la manera en que el liderazgo trasformativo influye en la ejecución de reformas de desempeño, empleando para ello el uso de información de desempeño como la variable dependiente. Los estudios previos indican que el liderazgo puede influir en la manera en la que los empleados usan la información de desempeño pero estos estudios no detallan los mecanismos teóricos que explican esta influencia. Este artículo desarrolla un modelo teórico el cual propone que los lideres trasformativos “dictan las pautas” para el uso de la información de desempeño a través de un efecto positivo pero indirecto en dos factores mediadores: la claridad de los objetivos y la cultura organizacional. Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que utiliza la información de desempeño percibida por los empleados como la variable dependiente proporciona evidencia empírica de acuerdo con nuestra teoría.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
