Charles G. Sanders
The 21st century competitive global environment is dynamic, complex, and multi-cultural, and necessitates a more rapid response to changes to survive (Rost, 1991). The most effective approach for dealing with this is to involve employees in the various leadership processes for the organization (Pearce & Conger, 2003; Raelin, 2003). However, the leadership role described is not the common view of leadership based on authority. Rather, the required leadership is based on everyday influence processes by anyone in the organization derived from knowledge and the recognition for the need for a specific change. This paper shows how the perpetuated perspective of leadership as something reserved for persons of authority actually inhibits the very organization behaviors called for by the complex and dynamic situations in which they work

The Emerging Significance of Values Based Leadership: A Literature Review

The emergence of the 21st century was plagued with extensive, evasive and disheartening leadership failures. Moral and ethical deficiencies were prevalent in many charismatic, dynamic and seemingly transformational leaders that had risen to prominence in both the public and private sectors. In response, leadership and management theorists began to place a renewed emphasis on the importance of ethics and morality in exemplary leaders, and a plethora of values based leadership (VBL) theories emerged. VBL behaviors are styles that have a moral, authentic and ethical dimension. This study examines the prevailing literature and research on the various constructs rooted in VBL. It identifies three constructs: (a) authentic (Avolio & Gardner, 2005; Gardner, Avolio, Luthans, May, & Walumbwa, 2005; George, 2003; Luthans & Avolio, 2003), (b) ethical (Brown et al., 2005), and transformational leadership (Bass, 1985; Bass, 1990; Bass & Avolio, 1990; Bass & Steidlmeier, 1999) that are considered the most emphasized behaviors in the VBL literature and examines the literature streams and progression of research for each of these VBL theories. The study identifies literature that supports that when these VBL behaviors are found in leaders, the leaders are evaluated as more effective by subordinates. The purpose is to provide a summary of the seminal VBL literature to date and provide recommendations for future research and study

A relationship between employee commitment to a supervisor and reduced levels of employee turnover has been found in previous research studies (Vandenberghe & Bentein, 2009). Since turnover is often associated with high costs, understanding how to retain valuable human resource talent is of increasing importance. In this study, Fields and Winston’s (2010) servant leadership instrument, Becker, Billings, Eveleth, and Gilbert’s (1996) employee commitment to a supervisor scale, and Stogdill’s (1963) supervisor initiation of structure subscale are used to measure the predictive effect of servant leadership on employee commitment to a supervisor, beyond the effect of a supervisor’s task-oriented behavior. One hundred and forty nine of 207 fulltime employees from a university in the U.S. responded to a web-hosted survey that was distributed via email. A multiple regression analysis was conducted that controlled for employee age, employee tenure with the supervisor, employee gender, employee/supervisor gender similarity/dissimilarity, and supervisor task-oriented behavior. Servant leadership was found to have a significant (p < .001) effect on employee commitment to a supervisor, shown by an increased R-Square value of 0.224 (22.4%). This study adds empirical evidence to the construct validity of servant leadership theory and the positive influence said behavior has on employee commitment

As can be seen from the substantial increase in the volume and scope of leadership publications over the last ten to fifteen years, leadership is a construct with important social and relational properties. Shared leadership in particular has attracted considerable attention from organization and management scholars, although there has been surprisingly little focus on the key structuring processes and mechanisms that enable shared leadership. The aim of this paper is to rectify this by identifying the critical factors and mechanisms which enable shared leadership and its antecedents and outcomes, and to develop a synthesized framework of shared leadership. The paper closes with a brief discussion of avenues for future research and implications for managers.

The focus of this research is on the relationships between leader-member exchange (LMX), supportive supervisor communication (SSC), and subordinate job performance. It was predicted that the relationship between subordinate ratings of LMX quality and supervisor ratings of subordinate performance would be mediated by subordinate ratings of SSC. Specifically, it was hypothesized that LMX would directly influence SSC, and SSC would directly influence two facets of contextual performance: interpersonal facilitation and job dedication. It was also hypothesized that job dedication would directly influence task performance, thus mediating the relationship between SSC and task performance. Thus, SSC was expected to mediate the relationship between LMX and contextual and task performance. Structural equation modeling results based on 243 supervisor-subordinate dyads from the banking industry provided substantial support for the proposed model.

In this article, we examine the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational misbehavior in a Dutch fire service and the extent to which prototypicality mediates this relationship. It is found that ethical leadership of battalion chiefs is statistically negatively related to the occurrence of self-reported disobedience of 61 crew commanders. Being a group prototype or not seems to fully explain this effect, as we found a full mediation effect. In addition, we found no statistically significant connection between the three components of ethical leadership, role modeling, rewards and discipline, and communicating about ethics and values, and the self-reported organizational misbehavior. Consequently, the question arises whether leaders who are viewed as “ethical” leaders simply have more influence on the unethical behavior of subordinates due to their leadership or that their norms and values just more closely fit to the professional norms and values of subordinates

John E. Barbuto, Jr. & Kevin Warneke We propose a framework for understanding the influence process in multiple influence attempts. The framework incorporates the constructs of influence tactics, bases of social power, work motivation, compliance and commitment, and modes of conflict management to arrive at a sequential illustration of the influence process through primary and secondary influence attempts. Propositions are developed and directions for future research are explored

Abstract:
Commodities are very important for the welfare of whole nations and so an increased demand, even on the financial markets, can be seen in the 20th century. For this reason commodities were no longer only product factors. They became more and more a speculative character for investors, especially in times of crisis as a possible safe haven (Mildner / Rudloff / Westphal, 2012, p. 57). Because of their development over two decades, during which time the invested volume grew up to an amount of 320 Billion US-Dollar at the beginning of 2011 (Knoepfel, 2011, p. 2) and the return of investing in commodities had beaten traditional investments, it might be very interesting to invest in commodity indices, if they can diversify an investor´s portfolio while improving the return. For the valuation and comparison of traditional and commodity indices, this article uses the classical approach of the volatility and the Value at Risk (VaR) for risk measurement and logarithmic returns for the performances. The analysis is indexed on July 1998 to get comparable results and aims to test if commodities can diversify a portfolio any longer.

concentration of banking sector, loan markup, Poland
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of the relationship between concentration of the banking sector and banks' markups on offered loans. The markup is understood as the difference between the rate offered by banks and the reference rate fixed by the Monetary Policy Council. The period between 2009 and 2013 was analyzed. Monthly data from the Polish banking sector were considered. This paper also consists of the literature review, which focuses on the mortgage market. The methodology used for the analysis is based mainly on simple linear regression techniques. It is found that such methods are not sufficient to give conclusive answers. Therefore additional future research is proposed.

Abstract:
The paper investigates into the efficiency of the Slovak banking industry over the years 2000–2011 through the prism of the profit approach to the perception of efficiency of commercial banks. More precisely, the aim of the paper is to benchmark individual commercial banks with respect to their efficiency status under the profit definition of efficiency. Nonetheless, massive structural changes that took place in the Slovak economy also affected significantly the development of the Slovak banking sector and gave rise to shifts in its production function. In order to include these qualitative changes into consideration, the entire period of 12 years was – on economic grounds – divided into three consecutive non-overlapping sub-periods (2000–2003, 2004–2008, 2009–2011) during which the production function may be viewed stable and free of qualitative alterations. A panel of 11 organizational units (i.e. commercial banks) of the Slovak banking sector was identified, and under the assumption of the production function being constant and shiftless in the three sub-periods the data on them were pooled together for each of the three sub-periods. In evaluating their technical efficiency in the individual three sub-periods, a non-parametric method of evaluation is employed based on the slack-based measure (SBM) model of data envelopment analysis. During the period of 12 years examined, Slovenská sporiteľňa maintained a comparatively high SBM technical efficiency and other Slovak banks were subject to positive or negative changes in their comparative efficiency profile. The paper further demonstrates how this information can be used outside the academic sphere with an accent laid upon the stockholders and the management of the commercial banks under investigation.
