Abstract

BACKGROUND: It’s not uncommon for the work-from-home (WFH) trend to persist after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various factors contribute to this continuation, including technological advancements and the benefits of it. The results of this study suggest suitable leadership styles for WFH. OBJECTIVE: This research investigates transformational and transactional leadership on organizational performance through work-from-home outcomes during the COVID-19 crisis in Thailand. METHODS: The data was collected by questionnaire from 444 employees who work for companies registered on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Market for Alternative Investment. These employees may work full-time or part-time from home or in a hybrid work arrangement. Data analysis employed the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. RESULTS: The main findings of this study indicate that during the COVID-19 crisis, transformational leadership did not directly influence employees’ work-for-home outcomes and had no direct or indirect effect on organizational performance. Conversely, transactional leadership is positively direct on organizational performance and indirectly through work-from-home outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The appropriate leadership style for the WFH environment during the COVID-19 pandemic is transactional leadership. This type of leader rewards employees for meeting expectations and imposes punishments for work that falls below the predetermined standard.

泰国 COVID-19 危机下领导力通过在家工作成果对组织绩效的影响

背景：在 COVID-19 大流行达到顶峰之后，在家工作（WFH）的趋势依然存在，这并不罕见。导致这种趋势持续存在的因素有很多，包括技术进步及其带来的好处。本研究的结果提出了适合 WFH 的领导风格。目的：本研究调查了在泰国 COVID-19 危机期间，变革型领导和交易型领导通过在家工作的结果对组织绩效的影响。方法：通过问卷调查的方式收集数据，调查对象为在泰国证券交易所和另类投资市场注册的公司的 444 名员工。这些员工可以全职或兼职在家工作，也可以采用混合工作安排。数据分析采用了偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）方法。结果：本研究的主要结果表明，在 COVID-19 危机期间，变革型领导并不直接影响员工在家工作的结果，对组织绩效也没有直接或间接的影响。相反，交易型领导对组织绩效有积极的直接影响，并通过工作成果间接影响组织绩效。结论：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，适合全职工作环境的领导风格是交易型领导。这种类型的领导者会奖励达到预期目标的员工，并对低于预定标准的工作实施惩罚。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
