The current study aims to classify what determines entrepreneurial leadership among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Saudi Arabian context. It also attempted to recognize the role played by entrepreneurial leadership by supporting SMEs in the nation's sustainable economic growth. The study is based on a primary survey administered among SMEs in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia. Overall, 152 responses were collected. However, after data cleaning, only 107 were found to be fit for final analysis. Structural Equation Modelling using SmartPLS® Software was applied for analysis. The findings emerged from the study immensely concluded that entrepreneurial leadership is an essential instrument for managers/owners of the SMEs sector who aim to improve the efficiency of tasks and contextual performance in Saudi Arabia. The study came across that "ability to absorb uncertainty," "ability to build commitment," "the ability to frame the Challenge," "the ability of path-clearing," and "ability to specify limits," are the five constructs that help frame the entrepreneurial leadership in the Saudi context. The study suggests that leadership trainers, SME policymakers must focus on precisely these skills to inculcate the ability of entrepreneurial leadership among Saudi entrepreneurs, SMEs owners, and managers.

This study seeks to empirically investigate the impact of transformational leadership on employees' innovation with the mediating effect of technological diversity. Employees have evolved into leaders in organizing work within institutions over the last few decades. This shift presents new demands for leaders, who are forced to reinvent individual workers while also improving workplace innovation. This research proposes a conceptual model for considering transformational leadership and the impact of technological diversity on innovation. Structured questionnaire is used in the study and the analysis of the data from 633 employees of universities in the United Arab Emirates uses stratified sampling technique and hypotheses verified through Structural Equations Modelling (AMOS-21). According to the results, transformational leadership has a big effect on employees' innovation. Furthermore, in the relationship between transformational leadership and workforce innovation, technological diversity has a partial mediation impact. This research adds to the growing body of knowledge about how transformational leadership influences employees' innovation and how it affects employees' success, especially in the context of UAE-based universities. Overall, this research contributes to the previous studies wherein transformational leadership plays a critical role in influencing the innovative performance of employees and that, in turn, will promote diversification of technology in the organization.

본 연구는 우리나라 소기업의 경쟁전략이 CEO의 리더십 역할에 따라 어떻게 기업성과에 영향을 끼치고 있는지를 고찰하였다. 소기업의 경쟁전략은 기업의 전략적인 의사결정에 절대적인 영향을 끼치고 있어 이를 실증 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. CEO 리더십 유형을 구분하여 경쟁전략과 기업성과와의 영향 관계를 탐색하기 위해 국내 소기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하여 위계적 조절회귀 분석을 통해 실증하였다. 본 연구의 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소기업의 경쟁전략은 차별화 전략과 원가우위 전략의 유형과 관계없이 모두 소기업 성과에 영향을 끼치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전략유형 보다는 일관된 전략추구가 기업성과에 더 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소기업이 추구하는 전략 유형에 따라 CEO의 리더십 유형도 달라져야 함을 확인하였다. 구체적으로 차별화 전략의 경우 변혁적 리더십이, 원가우위 전략에는 거래적 리더십이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 소기업의 경쟁전략은 전략유형보다는 일관된 전략추구가 생존과 직결되어 있어 더욱 중요하며, 소기업의 CEO는 경쟁전략에 따라 적합한 리더십 스타일을 추구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
