Corporate Leadership and Business Research

This study aims to examine the connections between company performance, firm strategy, information sharing behavior, and effectiveness of leadership. The associations between the variables were attempted to be revealed in this study by applying statistical analysis to the data gathered using one-to-one questionnaire approaches. The present investigation highlights the significance of information sharing behavior and the beneficial impacts of both independent and mediator variables on the organization. Moreover, a favorable correlation was found between work performance, firm strategy, and firm performance characteristics and the effectiveness of leadership and information sharing behavior. Likert-type scale questions were subjected to reliability analysis as well as confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis using LISREL, IBM SPSS 23, and the SPSS PROCESS V.3 add-in. The regression menu was utilized in the examination of the correlation menu's major menus of the SPSS Program to test the hypotheses and uncover the PROCESS V.3 add-in's mediation variable effect. With the LISREL program, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out.

While the economic recovery

has fallen short of expectations in recent years, there has been an increase in uncertainty about the state of the world economy. Additionally, since companies have become more cautious in their strategic decision-making, the risk factor across the sectors has begun to rise. When making strategic decisions for the future, businesses such as Facebook, Apple, Samsung, and Alibaba place a great deal of emphasis on preventing any negative effects on their performance (Z. Yang & Zhu, 2016). Making choices with this "risk" mentality affects how well the organization's leaders lead and how information is shared. According to Zhang et al.

(2011), effective leadership is mostly achieved through trust and vision. Additionally, employees should perceive their leader as someone who is actively encouraging sustainability and other critical measures towards reaching predetermined goals. One criterion that is conveyed through assessments of their leaders is the perceived efficacy of the leader, which tries to show how the leader influences an organization (Prati et al., 2003). Stated differently, a leader's efficacy is determined by how well they succeed in leading and influencing their actions to achieve their goals (Dabke, 2016).

Gary Hamel's (2006) research demonstrates the significance of leadership style and knowledge exchange for organizations. According to the research, just 10% of the 30,000 products that the production sector's enterprises promote annually are said to be successful (Hamel, 2006). Similar findings were reported in the study carried out by Castellion and Markham (2013), which indicated that the production sector's companies' products had a success rate of 20% or less. Concurrently, it is reported that the success rate ranges from 15% to 20%, despite the fact that production businesses invest over $20 million in the presentation of their products before releasing them onto the market (Perreault et al., 2013).

Stated differently

just 10% to 20% of new items in the manufacturing industry are able to remain on the market each year. This indicates that products that fail globally squander hundreds of billions of dollars. This is primarily because of issues with knowledge sharing and leadership inside the company (Frackenpohl et al., 2016; Knies et al., 2016; Onesto, 2017; Ritala et al., 2015). The accomplishment of corporate goals in line with a vision and mission is ensured by competent leadership. Simultaneously, reaching the goals and ensuring the parties' happiness depend on managers and staff feeling satisfied with their communication (Cooper & Nirenberg, 2004).

The main way to assess a leader's effectiveness is to look at employee attitudes and perceptions that are based on a variety of factors, such as how well the leader meets the needs and expectations of their followers, how well they can improve the quality of business life and the skills of their followers, how well they can contribute to their psychological development, how much their followers respect and value their leaders, how willing they are to comply with requests from leaders, absenteeism, leave of absence, complaints, slowdowns, and tool sabotaging (Yukl, 2013).

Individuals and their personal information

are said to be the most crucial component of knowledge sharing in businesses (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). Every business's information management procedure follows its unique set of rules, but they are all centered around the exchange of knowledge. These days, knowledge sharing mostly results in the generation of information within the firm. The development and sharing of information within businesses is crucial to their success (Mısırdalı, 2006). To solve internal issues or develop new goods, the company needs knowledge. Organizations must employ specialized knowledge and produce information quickly in order to market their products. Employees' continuous learning initiatives, which aim to build and create new business processes, enhance their capacity for information exchange. According to Taş (2011), a number of experts think that these kinds of behavioral adjustments are crucial for creative work practices. An employee's ability to perform well really hinges on their drive, strong feelings, and dedication to the company. One could argue that an employee will perform well if he is happy in his position. It has been proposed that businesses would continually strengthen when internal and external rewarding efforts are creative and need new abilities, with the aim of fostering the creative efforts of the personnel (Jung et al., 2003). It goes without saying that it is equally crucial to make the employee's performance permanent, and an efficient performance evaluation is one way to do this. Because of the activities related to product creation in the manufacturing sector, the research was done on white-collar workers employed by these companies. Job performance, firm strategies, and firm performance factors were considered dependent variables; the objective was to uncover the links between these variables, while leadership activity was considered an independent variable and information sharing conduct was interchangeable.
