Abstract

Dieser Artikel beschreibt ein Modell, wann, warum und wie verschiedene Faktoren das Führungsverhalten der Geschäftsführer in jungen Unternehmen beeinflussen. Das Forschungsmodell wurde in Geführte, Führungsperson, Unternehmen und Umwelt gegliedert, die wiederum in 17 einzelne Faktoren unterteilt wurden und neun davon auf deren prädiktorische Eigenschaften überprüft wurden. Das Modell wurde anhand einer Stichprobe von 472 Datensätzen überprüft, die aus 102 jungen Unternehmen stammen. Die jungen Unternehmen wurden vor fünf bis zwölf Jahren gegründet. 102 Geschäftsführer und 372 Geführte nahmen an der Umfrage teil. Das Führungsverhalten wurde mit dem MLQ 5X-Short gemessen, zur Hypothesenprüfung wurden Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Die Resultate zeigen für die Einflussfaktoren bei allen Führungsverhalten signifikante Varianzaufklärungen zwischen 10 und 15 Prozent. Damit konnten der Einfluss der erfassten Faktoren auf das Führungsverhalten nachgewiesen werden. Dabei zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass das Unternehmenswachstum der beste Prädiktor für das Führungsverhalten ist. Das Unternehmenswachstum zeigt eine negative Varianzaufklärung für das passiv-vermeidende und eine positive Varianzaufklärung für das transaktionale und transformationale Führungsverhalten. / This study explains a model of when, why and how diverse factors influence the leadership behavior of CEOs in young enterprises. The research model comprises the elements follower, leader, enterprise and environment which are subdivided into 17 single factors out of which nine were assessed for predictorial characteristics. The model was tested using a sample of 427 data sets which were generated based on 102 young enterprises. These enterprises were founded between five and twelve years ago and 102 CEOs as well as 372 followers participated in the study. The leadership behavior was measured using the MLQ 5X-Short and regression analyses were applied to test the hypotheses. The calculation renders significant variance explanation between 10 and 15 percent for the factors of all leadership behaviors. This way, the influence of the captured factors on leadership behavior was established. The findings reveal that company growth is the best predictor for leadership behavior. Company growth shows a negative variance explanation for passive-avoidance and a positive variance explanation for transactional and transformational leadership.
