Transformational leadership and HRM: study shows influence on employee productivity in the Greek hotel sector during the Covid19 pandemic

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

A study revealed the mechanism through which Transformational Leadership (TFL) impacts employee productivity: The authors said TFL first impacts employee “trust” towards managers, helping to create a “social climate” that directly impacts work engagement. Employees respond by increasing their productivity and showing “extra-role customer service” behaviour.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
