Summary: | 博士 === 國立中山大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 92 === Recently, there is a trend in western leadership’s studies emphasizing the influences of a leader’s values and visions on subordinates. However, there is no one among various leadership researches in Taiwan especially emphasizing the influences of the leader’s vision or value on leadership effectiveness.
Based on the viewpoint that measuring the CEO’s management values by his personal values is inappropriate, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of CEO’s management values on leadership effectiveness from the perceptiveness of subordinates’ perceptions.
Totally, 47 institutions participated in this research, which consisted of 43 CEO interviews, 45 management value questionnaires from CEOs, and 252 subordinate questionnaires about their perceptions of the CEO’S management value and his leadership effectiveness.
In addiction to having found out the operational definition and 13 representative index of the “CEO management value”, this study further examined the construct validity of the “CEO management value” scale. Besides, two other conclusive findings found are as following:
First, the degree that subordinates’ perceptions of the CEO’S management value, regardless of ideological or pragmatic, would positively influence subordinates’ evaluation about the CEO’S leadership effectiveness. However, having compared the two dimensions of the CEO’S management value, we found out that the ideological value was more influential than pragmatic value.
Secondly, when compared with those of different perceptual outcome, subordinates, whose perceptions of the CEO’S management value are the same as his/her CEO’s self-perception, would give higher evaluation about his/her CEO’S leadership effectiveness. This result emphasizes the importance that the CEO needs to communicate his management values to his subordinates.
