Leadership Styles as Perceived by Career Senior Service Executives

Abstract

This study identifies the prevailing leadership styles of career Senior Executive Service (SES) members of the Federal Government. This study also determines if an association exits between SES member's self‐perceived leadership style and personal characteristics, such as gender, years in the Federal Service, and highest academic degree earned. The study population consists of 6395 career SES members. A random sample of 364 career SES members was selected. The selected group was asked to respond to a demographic data questionnaire and the Styles of Leadership Survey (SLS). Over 34% of the sample completed the instrument and data questionnaire. This study reveals that Strategic Leadership Style (5/5) is the dominant self‐perceived leadership style of career SES members. The personal characteristics of gender, years employed in the Federal Government, and educational attainment were identified as being significant factors influencing leadership styles of Federal Government executives.     

领导素质测评中心理测验的应用与困境

心理测验在领导素质测评中的应用逐渐增多，取得了良好效果，但也存在一些问题，如“心理测验的滥用与专业人员的不足”、“心理测验概括性与领导测评针对性的矛盾”和“神化心理测验与测验本身局限性的矛盾”等。面对这些问题，加强心理测验队伍的建设、开发领导素质测评专用量表和综合运用多种测评手段可能是有益的尝试。

Management of Australian Water Utilities: The Significance of Transactional and Transformational Leadership

What organisational factor has the most significant impact on the management of water utilities? This article seeks the views of middle managers in several water utilities across four Australian states to address this question. It also examines their views of leadership in their organisation. It draws upon Bass's full‐range leadership theory to examine their views on three models of leadership: transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and a combination of both transactional and transformational leadership. The respondents identify leadership as the most critical enabling factor for the effective management of water utilities. They believe that effective leadership requires a mix of transactional and transformational leadership skills. They state that their supervisor's leadership skills are below their expectation of an effective leader. These leadership issues are discussed in the article.

简论现代领导的成功方略

领导工作是影响或引导个人或团体在一定条件下去实现一定目标的行为过程。这种行为过程是一个复杂的系统。第一是观念决定成败;第二是细节决定成败;第三是赢在领导;第四是赢在执行;第五是赢在和谐。"观念"与"领导"处于系统的高层(或叫宏观层);"执行"与"细节"处于系统的基层(或叫微观层);而"和谐"处于系统的每一个环节。由此,形成了领导成功方略的有机系统。     

Linking Leader Social Skills and Organisational Health to Positive Work Relationships in Local Governments

This study examines the links between leaders' social skills, organisational health (decline) and positive work relationships. In particular it tests whether leaders' social skills are more strongly associated to work relationships when the organisation's fiscal health is more precarious. Using data from both surveys and annual financial statements of 103 public sector organisations, the results indicate that a leader's social skills and organisational fiscal health are positively related to work relationships. However, the interactive effect of leaders' social skills and organisational fiscal health on positive work relationships was not significant.
