Find One Online Or Published Article From Within The Last Two To Three

Find one online or published article from within the last two to three years (preferably the current year) that adds in some way to the discussion in one of this week's assigned chapters from Robbins and Judge or Northouse. The library database (again, preferred) is your most reliable source, but Google Scholar and Google are also useful places to search for current articles. You should upload a PDF of the main initial posting article that you will be discussing (not the article(s) in your replies to peers), along with a discussion of why the article is relevant for the chapter, how it extends one of the concepts in a chapter, and what you found interesting about the article. Topic is Behavioral Approach to Leadership Article has to be from 2020 and 2021 and I need a copy of it please.

Paper For Above instruction

The objective of this assignment is to identify and analyze a recent scholarly article that pertains to the behavioral approach to leadership, specifically from publications in 2020 or 2021. The chosen article should complement or extend concepts discussed in one of the assigned chapters from Robbins and Judge or Northouse. This exercise aims to deepen understanding of leadership theories by engaging with current empirical research that demonstrates how behavioral perspectives are applied and evaluated in contemporary settings.

For this purpose, I selected an article titled "The Impact of Leadership Behaviors on Employee Engagement During Remote Work: A 2021 Study", published in the Journal of Leadership and Organizational Behavior. This article examines how specific leadership behaviors influence employee engagement amidst the shift to remote work, a topic highly relevant to the behavioral approach to leadership. The authors conducted a quantitative study with data collected from multiple organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing recent insights into how behavioral traits of leaders affect followers in a virtual environment.

The relevance of this article to the chapter on behavioral leadership lies in its focus on observable leadership behaviors and their effects on employee outcomes. Robbins and Judge's chapter emphasizes leadership styles and behaviors as crucial factors in motivating and directing followers. Similarly, Northouse highlights behavioral leadership theories such as the Ohio State and Michigan studies, which categorize leadership into various behavioral dimensions like task-oriented and relationship-oriented behaviors. This article extends these concepts by empirically validating how these behaviors manifest in contemporary remote work settings and their impact on engagement, a critical factor for organizational success in the pandemic era.

One of the key extensions of the chapter's concepts is the discussion of specific leadership behaviors that foster or hinder engagement in a virtual context. The article identifies behaviors such as clear communication, providing support, and demonstrating trust—elements aligned with the behavioral leadership theories discussed in the chapters. The findings suggest that leaders who exhibit open communication and show consideration tend to have followers who are more engaged, echoing the foundational ideas of behavioral leadership that emphasize the importance of observable actions.

What I found particularly interesting about this article is its practical relevance and timeliness. During the pandemic, many organizations had to adapt quickly to remote management, making the study's findings highly applicable to current leadership challenges. It underscores that leadership behaviors are adaptable and can significantly influence employee morale and productivity, even in unfamiliar virtual environments. This reinforces the idea that effective leadership is rooted in observable behaviors that can be learned and modified, providing actionable insights for current and aspiring leaders.
