Abstract

The behaviour pattern of visionary leaders (VL) towards handling of conflict is investigated in this article. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) results of a self-reported survey among 206 professionals from Indian information technology (IT) based organizations, holding leadership roles show that the behaviour patterns of VL such as risk-taking and ability to generate set of feelings of we-ness among the members contributed significantly towards collaborating style. The demographic factor experience has a significant influence on this style. This paper sheds light on the importance of visionary leadership in reaching win-win situation during conflict resolution through risk-taking and generating a feeling of togetherness can be developed and encouraged through assessment centres for greater integrity at workplace.
