Abstract Background: This research paper has emerged as a part of doctoral research study conducted by the researcher on “Impact of Entrepreneurial Leadership Styles on Organisational Innovation in Enterprises” with a special reference to medium scale auto-ancillary manufacturing enterprises located in Pune, India.
Purpose: This research study aims to examine, if there is any relationship exists between the Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style and Organisational Innovations in medium scale auto-ancillary manufacturing enterprises. Also, to find out if the Organisational Innovativeness has any mediating effect between Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style and Organisational Innovations.
Methodology: This is a quantitative research, where the Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style is presented as independent variable, Organisational Innovativeness as mediating variable and Organisational Innovations as dependent variable. The primary data was collected through clustered random sampling method with a sample size of 132 and the respondents were administered through a structured questionnaire based on five-point Likert scale.
Statistical Analysis: Descriptive Statistics, Frequency Distribution, Mean, Standard Deviation, Normality Test, Cronbach Alpha Reliability Test, T-Test, P-Value, F-Test, Bootstrapping, ANOVA, Model Fit and Regression Analysis. Furthermore, the collected data was processed through Hayes Process Macro 4.2, IBM SPSS 23.
Findings: The research result show that there is a significant and positive relationship exists between independent variable: Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style and dependent variable: Organisational Innovations in the presence of mediating variable: Organisational Innovativeness. Based on the research outcomes, it is observed that there is a partial mediation in this model, furthermore the null hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted.
Implication: The research study suggests that all the three path effects i.e. direct, indirect and total path effects are positive and significant. This research has also made use of simple mediation model to predict the research outcomes. The research outcomes indicate that Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style is effective in impacting and generating Organisational Innovations in medium scale enterprises. More over the impact is increased, when both direct and indirect effects are combined to create the total effect.
Limitations: The medium scale enterprises and their Organisational Innovations can be restricted by different internal as well as external factors, where the leadership is not a dominant factor. In some cases, entrepreneurs due to lack of theoretical understanding about the entrepreneurial leadership styles, can create a complex-mix of self-styled entrepreneurial leadership, which is difficult to capture by a specific leadership style.
Future Research: This research study is focused on finding the impact of Charismatic Entrepreneurial Leadership Style on Organisational Innovations in auto ancillary medium scale enterprises, similarly this research study can be extended to other leadership styles as well.
