Handbook of Management Scales/Leadership

Leadership (composite reliability = 0.83) edit

Description edit

The authors follow a two-phased approach to develop multi-item scales that measure dimensions of service orientation in the context of business-to-business e-commerce. Service orientation was conceptualized as a third-order construct comprised of five combinative service competency bundles: service climate; market focus; process management; human resource policy; and metrics and standards.

One of these five second-order dimensions, service climate, consists of three first-order dimensions: leadership, service culture, and value orientation.

Definition edit

The role of the company’s management team in communicating and reinforcing the company’s values.
