Abstract

Leading effectively is essential to secure an organisation’s market share by fulfilling the strong demand in the manufacturing sector during this pandemic. Psychology researchers found that self-reflection is a powerful tool for increasing self-awareness, well-being, self-efficacy and enhance effectiveness. But, there are limited quantitative research conducted to examine the correlation between self-reflection and leadership effectiveness. The questions of “do female leaders’ tap on the advantages of self-reflection translating into higher effectiveness and resulted better representation in top management position” are the areas that researcher is interested to investigate in this research. To investigate the role of self-reflection in female leadership effectiveness, minimum of 114 female leaders from manufacturing industries will be invited to participate in the survey. All data collected will be analysed using SPSS and smart PLS, confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) for evaluating Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) will be used to confirm measurement models while applying “partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM)”. It will be used to confirm the reflective measurement models in this research. There are two important theoretical contributions in this research. The new model proposed in this research serves as a new contribution to the field of self-reflective theory pertaining to management. The framework can serve as a guide for future research in leadership studies and by enriching the understanding of self-reflection, self-awareness, self-efficacy and well-being factors, this knowledge will contribute to the academic’s literature. The practical contribution is ensuring female contribute and participate fully in thriving Malaysia’s economic development by enhancing leadership effectiveness.
