Exploring The Moderating Effect Of Strategic Leadership On Organizational Performance And Operational Strategy; A Scoping Review

Abstract

Empowering leadership positively influences organizational innovation, confirming previous research that suggests supportive leadership styles are conducive to fostering a culture of innovation within organizations. Job complexity moderates the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational innovation. Despite its recognized importance, there remains a gap in understanding the precise mechanisms through which strategic leadership influences these outcomes. The gap hinders organizations' ability to effectively develop and implement leadership strategies that drive sustainable performance and competitive advantage. Additionally, existing research often lacks a nuanced understanding of the contextual factors that moderate this relationship, such as industry dynamics, organizational culture, and environmental uncertainty. Addressing the gap in the literature is essential for organizations seeking to optimize their leadership strategies and enhance their ability to navigate complex and rapidly changing business environments. A sample of 200 respondents was obtained using the simple random sampling procedure. The study involves conducting qualitative research, such as interviews or surveys with organizational leaders and employees, to gather insights into the leadership practices that drive success. By providing a structured framework for setting goals, defining strategies, and allocating resources, strategic planning enables organizations to navigate complexity, seize opportunities, and achieve their full potential. Vision and Mission Organizational Culture, Stakeholder Engagement, Performance Measurement and Market dynamics significantly influence organizational performance and operational strategy. The researcher stated that strategic leaders must be adept communicators, capable of articulating their vision and strategy in a compelling and persuasive manner. By effectively communicating the rationale behind strategic initiatives, leaders can garner support and commitment from stakeholders, facilitating the implementation of strategic objectives.
