Resumen
Enterprises around the world have been facing serious threats from both external environment and internal structure in recent years. Rises in raw material prices and labor costs, plus changes in industrial structure result in financial difficulties that greatly affect enterprises’ profitability. The case of Taiwan’s plush toy industry is studied in this research to probe into the issue of leadership style and see if a leader’s personal style makes a difference in the influence on business operation. It is also worth discussing in depth if organizational innovation and employees’ job performance would be affected. Questionnaires for this research were distributed mainly by e-mail, postal mail, or via other parties for collection of the data required, and the data were analyzed empirically with SPSS18.0. The research results show that both transformational leadership and transactional leadership have positive influence on organizational innovation and job performance. In particular, transformational leadership has a significantly greater influence on organizational performance than transactional leadership. Moreover, organizational innovation also has a positive influence on job performance. In the end, discussions were made based on these results in the hope to provide references for the academic and industrial professionals.
