INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HUMAN-ORIENTED LEADER BEHAVIOR AND PERSON-ORGANIZATION VALUE FIT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that employee performance can be enhanced by the favorable leadership behaviors adapted by the managers and met expectations of personal values and organizational values. However researches that have been investigated on their interactions are not sufficient in the available literature in Asian firms. Hence, this study mainly focused on three issues. They are: how does human-oriented leader behavior affect employee performance?, how does person-organization value fit affect employee performance?, and whether there is an interaction effect between leader behavior and person-organization value fit on employee performance. A questionnaire survey was undertaken to evaluate employees’ ratings on these variables. The sample was comprised of 250 middle level employees in relevant organizations in Sri Lanka. Hypotheses testing were carried out by using Analysis of Covariates. Results revealed that leader behavior and person-organization value fit are powerful predictors on employee performance. Further, results provided some insights into how management can enhance employee performance even under low person-organization value fit by moderating the style of leadership. Theoretical and practical implications of these results and directions for future research are discussed.
