Abstract

Purpose

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between institutional influence and performance, mediated through transformational leadership (TL) and moderated by barriers, situational factors, communication and implementation.

Design/methodology/approach

Using a structured survey instrument, data were collected from 370 faculty members from 31 higher educational institutions in southern India. After checking the psychometric properties of the instrument, the authors used Hayes’s PROCESS to test the direct hypotheses and three-way interactions.

Findings

The results revealed that TL mediated the relationship between institutional influence and performance. Further, the findings supported the three-way interactions between (1) institutional influence, barriers and communication positively affecting TL; and (2) TL, situational factors and implementation affecting the performance of faculty members.

Research limitations/implications

This study underscores the importance of TL for the smooth functioning of higher educational institutions and achieving superior performance, especially in the new normal context after the global pandemic.

Practical implications

This study makes several significant recommendations to administrators in higher educational institutions, in addition to contributing to the vast literature on TL. The study suggests that administrators must invest resources in developing TL skills so that employees reach their fullest potential and contribute to achieving organizational goals. In addition, leaders in organizations need to exercise a transformational style to combat the new normal post-pandemic academic environment.

Originality/value

This study provides new insights into the importance of TL style and institutional influence to enhance performance. To the best of our knowledge, the conceptual model developed and tested the first of its kind in India, significantly contributing to theory and practice.

厘清印度高等教育机构中制度影响、变革型领导力和绩效之间的关系:三方互动模型
目的本研究旨在探讨机构影响力与绩效之间的关系,这种关系通过变革型领导力(TL)起中介作用,并受到障碍、情景因素、沟通和实施的调节。在检查了调查工具的心理测量特性后,作者使用 Hayes's PROCESS 检验了直接假设和三向交互作用。此外,研究结果还支持以下三方面的相互作用:(1)机构影响、障碍和沟通对教师绩效产生积极影响;(2)教师绩效、情境因素和实施对教师绩效产生影响。研究局限/启示本研究强调了教师绩效对高等教育机构顺利运作和实现卓越绩效的重要性,尤其是在全球大流行病后的新常态背景下。本研究建议,管理者必须投入资源来培养 TL 技能,从而使员工充分发挥潜能,为实现组织目标做出贡献。此外,组织中的领导者需要采用变革风格,以应对新常态后的学术环境。据我们所知,所开发和测试的概念模型在印度尚属首次,为理论和实践做出了重大贡献。
