商品描述

This book investigates and explores the impact of a self-protective leadership (SPL) style on the organizational effectiveness of start-up businesses within Africa, focusing on Ghana and Kenya. Self-protective leadership is defined as a leadership style that focuses on ensuring the safety and security of individuals and groups through status-enhancing and face-saving tactics. A typical self-protective leader can make decisions, and is free from political influences, but tends to be selfish, ritualistic, and self-centered. The author's study, presented in this book, demonstrates a surprisingly high preference for SPL among Confucian Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Sub-Saharan African nations - all of which have a history of colonialism. If this is true, then SPL could be better suited to the business environment in Africa, but particularly amongst start-up enterprises.

Examining this phenomenon, and using an explorative analysis of business and culture, the book investigates the extent to which the various dimensions or demonstrations of SPL impact organizational effectiveness in African start-up businesses.

A valuable contribution to literature and research on African leadership styles, this is an ideal resource for students and researchers interested in leadership and organizational effectiveness within the African context.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討並研究自我保護型領導（Self-Protective Leadership, SPL）風格對非洲初創企業組織效能的影響，重點關注加納和肯尼亞。自我保護型領導被定義為一種專注於確保個人和團體安全與保障的領導風格，透過提升地位和保全面子的策略來實現。典型的自我保護型領導者能夠做出決策，並不受政治影響，但往往傾向於自私、儀式化和以自我為中心。作者在本書中呈現的研究顯示，儒家亞洲、拉丁美洲、中東及撒哈拉以南非洲國家對SPL的偏好出乎意料地高，這些國家都有殖民歷史。如果這是真的，那麼SPL可能更適合非洲的商業環境，尤其是在初創企業中。

本書通過探討這一現象，並對商業與文化進行探索性分析，研究SPL的各種維度或表現對非洲初創企業組織效能的影響程度。

這是對非洲領導風格文獻和研究的重要貢獻，對於對非洲背景下的領導與組織效能感興趣的學生和研究者來說，這是一本理想的資源。
