THE IMPACT OF MOTIVATION ON PERFORMANCE THROUGH LEADERSHIP
The present paper puts forth an evolutionary description of leadership maintaining the belief that nowadays leadership must appreciate teamwork, acknowledge the importance of diversity, know how to share power, knowledge, success and failure with subordinates. Power is an ingredient of leadership, which skillfully used, shared with subordinates can produce unexpectedly positive effects. Synthesizing the ideas presented above represents the research topic of the present scientific approach, the starting idea being the issue that most organizations are facing: employee turnover. The main objective of the present paper focuses on the idea of identifying those elements that work together in the process of performance achievement and their logical hierarchy when determining the effects of each on the expected results. Starting from the leadership styles identified as relevant, through a comprehensive documentary study, a series of processes that play moderating and mediating roles such as the motivational process and the employees’ attitude reflected in the degree of job satisfaction have been highlighted. The research aims at establishing a diagnostic tool within organizations or work teams, with which to analyze multiple aspects of leadership behaviors so that the employees’ motivational thresholds may support job satisfaction and lead to performance.Based on the research model, twenty-one hypotheses were formulated in order to give an overview as comprehensive as possible of the statistical analysis of data. The results of the case study for the research contribute to the practical support of the goal of leadership: the evolution towards a modern ideal, different from the traditional and paternalistic style rooted in the Romanian culture.
