Leadership and performance in intermunicipal networks
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to highlight the impact of integrative leadership behaviors on network performance in local government networks. Design/methodology/approach: The data were retrieved from a survey conducted on 362 local government network leaders in Italy. Their leadership behaviors were compared with the level of network performance anonymously self-reported. Findings: The findings show that high frequency in the usage of a specific category of behavior does not always lead to high performance in local government networks. Moreover, leadership behaviors leading to highly performing networks are not always engaged most frequently by networks' leaders. Originality/value: This research gives an empirical contribution to a neglected topic: network leadership. Moreover, the authors attempt to highlight how it is able to influence network performance.
