Abstract
Im Wachstum von Startups und KMU spielt Leadership eine zentrale Rolle. In einer umfassenden empirischen Studie (N = 399) in familiengeführten KMU wird der Einfluss der Visionären Führung und des Empowering durch Entscheidungs- und Handlungsspielraum auf das affektive Commitment und die Zielerreichung der Mitarbeitenden untersucht. Die empirischen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Visionäre Führung und Empowering das Commitment der Mitarbeitenden positiv beeinflussen, wobei Visionäre Führung den stärksten signifikanten Zusammenhang zum affektiven Commitment aufweist. Weniger stark ist der Effekt auf die Zielerreichung, die vor allem durch das Empowering der Mitarbeitenden beeinflusst wird. Visionäre Führung versucht, die durch das Empowering gewonnene Autonomie durch eine gemeinsame Vision auszubalancieren und das Dilemma zwischen „letting go“ und „having control“ im Sinne einer „sowohl als auch“-Strategie in einen langfristigen Zielraum zu führen. / Leadership plays a central role in the growth of startups and SMEs. In a comprehensive empirical study (N = 399) within family-owned SME, the influence of visionary leadership and empowering on employees’ affective commitment and goal achievement is investigated. The empirical results show that visionary leadership and empowering positively influence employee commitment, with visionary leadership showing the strongest significant correlation to affective commitment. The effect on goal achievement, which is mainly influenced by empowering the employees, is less strong. Visionary leadership tries to balance the autonomy gained through empowering with a shared vision and to solve the dilemma between “letting go” and “having control” in the sense of a “both and” strategy.
