Ascendant Scholar Kevin Groves presented two papers at the Western Academy of Management Conference, held in Kona, HI. Both papers were nominated for the conference’s Best Paper Award.
In the abstract for the paper Leader Ethical Values as Key Antecedents to Transformational and Transactional Leadership, Dr. Groves wrote:
While several leadership scholars have suggested that the transformational leadership process is predicated on a different set of ethical values than transactional leadership, very little empirical research has demonstrated such a relationship. Several theoretical studies have asserted that deontological ethics should be associated with transformational leadership while transactional leadership is likely related to teleological ethics. Data from 122 organizational leaders and 458 of their followers indicated that leader deontological ethical values (altruism, universal rights, Kantian principles) were strongly associated with follower ratings of transformational leadership, while leader teleological ethical values (utilitarianism) were related to follower ratings of transactional leadership. As predicted, only transformational leadership was associated with follower beliefs in the importance of corporate social responsibility. Implications for leadership theory, future research directions, and management education and practice are discussed.
Dr. Groves and fellow Graziadio School faculty member Dr. Ann Feyerherm co-authored the Leader Cultural Intelligence: Testing the Moderating Effects of Team Diversity on Leader and Team Performance. The author explained the paper thus:
Despite clear calls from industry to better understand cross-cultural leadership competencies, academic research on leader cultural intelligence (CQ) is remarkably lacking. To date, very few empirical studies have examined the unique contribution of leader CQ to leadership performance outcomes beyond the effects of competing leadership competencies. Data from 99 organizational leaders and 321 of their followers demonstrated that leader CQ predicted leadership performance and team performance in contexts where work team members were characterized by significant ethnic and nationality diversity. Furthermore, leader CQ predicted leadership performance and team performance on diverse work teams beyond the effects of leader emotional intelligence. Implications for leadership theory, future research directions, and management practice are discussed.
Dr. Kevin Groves, an assistant professor of Organizational Theory & Management at the Graziadio School, investigates executive development and succession planning, managerial thinking styles, leader social/emotional intelligence, and organizational change.
