Loyalty-based leadership: a study of managerial practices in the public sector

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

A study is conducted to identify the correlates of managerial ability to build employee loyalty in higher organization echelons. The focus is on the ability of a manager to make a positive effective impact on their subordinates and create a loyal following among their employees. The management practices and strategies alluded to by Conger and Kanungo are applied. Then, the extent to which they affect employees' feeling of loyalty to their superiors in senior management is examined. The results confirm Conger and Kanungo's assertion that employee empowerment, if properly done, can help build a strong positive attitude among subordinates.
