- Description
- The main aim of this study is to assess the influence of value-based leadership on employee commitment for organisational effectiveness in Mnquma local municipality. The objectives of the study are to assess the core values of leaders and determine the most prominent value-based construct in Mnquma municipality; to examine the influence of value-based leadership on employee commitment; to verify the impact of employee commitment on organisational effectiveness, and to investigate the correlation between value-based leadership and organisational effectiveness. The study followed a convergent parallel mixed methods design and a semi-structured questionnaire and interviews were used to collect data from the sampled respondents. The researcher used the purposive sampling technique to select a sample of 170 employees including managers, and 10 portfolio heads (political leaders). An assessment of leadership core values with a focus on four higher-order values showed that administrative leaders are more concerned with self-enhancement values (overall mean: 3.1335) and conservation values (overall mean: 3.2151). On the other hand, self-transcendence values (overall mean: 2.922) and openness to change values (overall mean: 2.8349) are given less attention. The findings also showed that transformational leadership is the most prominent value-based leadership construct in Mnquma municipality (mean = 3.2500; SD = 1.01521). The Spearman Rho correlations (rs) and significance probabilities for relations between value-based leadership and employee commitment suggest that employee organisational commitment had moderately high, significant, and positive correlations with all constructs for value-based leadership. Also, the findings revealed that employee organisational commitment had a strong, significant, and positive correlation with organisational effectiveness (rs = 0.765; p < 0.0001). Furthermore, the results suggest that organisational effectiveness also had moderately high, significant, and positive correlations with all constructs for value-based leadership. Among others, the recommended strategies include the A to Z guideline for the promotion of value-based leadership, the ten pillars of value-based leadership, and strategies to improve job satisfaction, employee commitment and organisational effectiveness.
