| dc.description.abstract | Today’s global business landscape has been characterized as competitive and
multifaceted and organizations are seeking a modern approach to create more values
for customers and achieve superior performance. This study extended prior work
exploring components of leadership and developed a comprehensive framework
examining how leadership and organizational learning facilitate the achievement of
high organizational performance. A sequential, mixed-methods approach was used in
this study. In-depth interviews are employed to explore leadership dimensions
manifesting in the tourism firms. Based on these qualitative data and a review of
existing literature, we designed an instrument to survey leaders in the sector.
SmartPLS is applied to perform PLS-SEM statistical techniques with 638 responses
from survey questionnaire. The research findings offered evidence that traits,
competencies, and complexity leadership behaviors of leaders could influence
organizational learning and high organizational performance. Besides, the mediating
role of organizational learning enriched the content of resource-based view and
knowledge-based view theories by revealing one of the mechanisms through which
leadership affects high organizational performance. This study made a significant
contribution to leadership, organizational learning, and high organizational
performance literature by providing a comprehensive framework of the relationships
among these phenomena using mixed-methods approach. This study also provided
some culture-specific insights about strategies to foster high organizational
performance through leadership and organizational learning in a developing country
and recommended some avenues for further investigation of the three domains in the
future. | en_US |
