Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the how organisational contexts affect empowered leadership and we classified organisational contexts into four types in terms of the formalisation of organisational structure and the complexity of tasks. We adopted a multi-case study approach to study eight hi-tech enterprise to examine the effectiveness of empowered leadership from organisational perspective. This study found unique features for four distinctive organisational contexts and proposes four propositions for practitioners to enhance the effectiveness of leadership empowerment. This study enriches the field of research of empowering leadership behaviour in terms of various organisational structure. This paper focuses on hi-tech enterprises and provides a practicable suggestions for practitioners to implement empowered leadership in the future.
