A Study about the Effect of Positive Perception of Innovation on Leadership Styles

Abstract

Innovation is basically defined as improvements and changes which provide added value to the enterprises. The impacts of innovation are generally seen as positive by business owners and executives, but in some cases this perception may be negative as well. The aim of this study is to research the effect of the perception that innovation will create a competitive advantage, will increase the product quality and is considered as an escape from a crisis, which are indeed positive perceptions of innovation, on transformational, interactional, charismatic, servant and strategic leadership styles. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 108 SMEs operating in and around Bursa province. As a result of the related survey and further studies, the effect of the positive perception of innovation on the innovation-oriented leadership styles was determined as follows: on transformational leadership 51.9%, on interactional leadership 14%, on charismatic leadership 79.4%, on servant leadership 46.4% and on strategic leadership 40.2%.
