Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 96 === The purposes of this study are two folds. Firstly, this work examines the relationship between paternalistic leadership and leadership effectiveness. Secondly, this work investigates the moderating effect of sex and gender-role orientation on the aforementioned relationship. Participants of the study are collected by convenience sampling methods. We contacted 30 family businesses and distributed 15 questionnaires for each company. A total of 208 valid questionnaires were returned, yielding a valid response rate of 46.2%. Statistical analysis methods including Pearson’s correlation, multiple regressions and hierarchical regression were used to analyze data.Results of statistical analyses were summarized as follow: 1.Benevolence significantly predicts job satisfaction and job involvement and moral significantly predicts job satisfaction, turnover intention and goal attainment. In other words, when subordinates perceived their managers being more benevolent, they reported higher degree of job satisfaction and job involvement. When subordinates perceived their managers being more moral, they reported higher degree of job satisfaction, but lower degree of less turnover intention and goal attainment. 2.The correlation of the interaction term of paternalistic leadership and sex with leadership effectiveness is not significant. This result indicates that physiological sex did not moderating the relationship between paternalistic leadership and leader effectiveness. 3.While the correlations of the interaction term of authoritarianism leadership and masculinity gender-role orientation with job satisfaction is significant; the correlation of the interaction term of moral leadership and feminity gender-role orientation with job involvement is significant; the correlation of the interaction term of benevolence leadership and feminity gender-role orientation with turnover intention and goal attainment are significant. In other words, high masculine-oriented subordinates reported stronger relationship between authoritarianism leadership and leadership effectiveness than those of low masculine-oriented subordinates. Furthermore, more feminine-oriented subordinates reported stronger relationship between moral leadership and leadership effectiveness than those of low feminine-oriented subordinates. At last, more feminine-oriented subordinates reported stronger relationship between benevolence leadership and leadership effectiveness than those of low feminine-oriented subordinates.
