    Effects of Passive Leadership in the Digital Age
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-08-26) Wang C-H; Liu GHW; Lee NC-A; Giménez-Espert MDC
    Organizations must adapt to the trend of digitalization. Nowadays, social media engagement editors play an increasingly crucial role for organizational growth and prosperity in the digital age. Engagement editors are usually tasked to perform the functions of marketing, content production, and data analysis. They have to manage online communities on behalf of the organization, and encounter online audiences' frequent toxic and aggressive behaviors. Engagement editors thus are prone to emotional stress. Substantial literature has examined the influence of leadership style on employee performance. However, passive leadership is rarely studied. This research investigates (1) whether passive leadership would negatively affect engagement editors' performance (i.e., online interaction with audiences); and (2) how the negativity would be ameliorated by certain organizational policies (i.e., job autonomy) and their individual attributes (i.e., employee resilience) from the conservation of resource perspective. We surveyed 122 engagement editors and used the smartPLS 3.2.9 to analyze the data. This research provides important theoretical and practical implications.

    Organizational Mindfulness Perspective on Driving Enterprise System Adaptation and Organizational Agility
    (IEEE, 2024) Lee NC-A; Liu GHW
    Nowadays enterprise system(s) (ESs) have become a pervasive digital platform and are widely utilized by firms. However, uncertain environments require firms continuously adapt their ES. ES adaptation involves the postimplementation changes of an ES to meet changing business needs. How firms adapt their ES to facilitate organizational agility remains an understudied issue. Drawing from the literature of organizational mindfulness, this article holds that firms need to foster organizational mindfulness - a firm's willingness and capacity to capture and refine discriminatory details about its environments - to facilitate ES adaptation and organizational agility. We build and test a model based on 138 responses of Taiwanese manufacturing firms. Our findings demonstrate that organizational mindfulness can help firms to achieve better ES adaptation and organizational agility. Specifically, organizational mindfulness can facilitate not only ES adaptation but also entrepreneurial and adaptive agility that is the offensive and defensive dimensions of organizational agility. ES adaptation is mainly related to entrepreneurial agility. This article contributes to the agility literature by proposing and testing a model of how organizational mindfulness affects ES adaptation and organizational agility.
