7. INTRODUCTION
As the twenty-first century approaches, the world is undergoing enormous changes, a process
of great upheaval and great possibility. In just a few short years, we have witnessed the dawn
of post-industrial society, the advent of information age, the rush to computerization, birth of
biotechnology, and not the least of these changes, the human-relations revolution.
The Business environment has grown dramatically more intense. Competition has become
more global and more energized. And technology races on. No longer can business safely
ignore their customers’ wants and needs. No longer can managers simply issue orders and
expect them to be mindlessly obeyed. No longer can personal relationships be taken for
granted. No longer can companies be less than obsessed with constant quality improvement.
No longer can so much human creativity go so scandalously untapped.
8. To survive in this years to come, successfulorganizations-in business, in government, in the
non-profit world-will have to undergo a profound cultural change. Their people will have to
think quicker, work smarter, dream wilder, and relate to each other in very different ways.
Most important of all, this cultural change will require a whole new breed of leader, a leader
quite unlike the bosses mostofus have worked for and some of us have perhaps become.
The day has long since passed when a company could be run with a bullwhip and a chair.
The leaders of tomorrow will have to establish a real vision and a sense of values for the
organizations they wish to lead. These leaders will have to communicate and motivate far
more effectively than did leaders of the past. They will have to keep their wits about them
through conditions of rear-constant change. And these new leaders will have to mine every
ounce of talent and creativity that their organizations possess ------from the shop floor to the
executive suite. That’s where you find “THE LEADER IN YOU”.
Synopsis:
The project ‘A Study on “EFFECT OF LEADERSHIP PERFORMANCE IN THE
ORGANIZATION” at MANGALA MARINE EXIM INDIA PVT. LTD’. The main
objective in doing this project is to study how leadership effects the organisational climate.
For this, the researcher used questionnaire method and the sample size was 50. The statistical
tools used are column diagram, pie diagram and bar diagram used for analysing the data.
After analysing the facts, suggestions were made.
9. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The central theme for conducting this study is to find out how Leadership plays a vital role in
the organisationeffect of leadership in the organisation and to figure out the impact and
outcome of it. This study also determines the leadership skills and also helps to improvise
the leader in you.
Another purpose of this study is that, we often think of a manager or leader is expected
to exhibit a right behaviour towards employees or subordinates. Yet it is realised that in most
organisations, work schedule are task-focused and routine, with no flexibility, and yet
decisions and policies are imposed on subordinates. In such organisations where the
10. leadership perceives employees as mere hands to get job done, employees would pretend to
do well due to the standards and measure being assigned to them.
For employees to accomplish their work, managers must encourage individuals who reports
to them, co-workers, and supervisors or customers. Because of this for effective and efficient
organisations leadership, the human factor must be critically looked out from the employee
performance. Mangala Marine Exim India Private Limited has a set of leadership standards
expected to be lived by its managers or leaders with the view to improving performance. The
problem for this study was to establish the effect of leadership behaviours that are exhibited
at Mangala Marine Exim, and to know how it was affecting the performance of the
Organisation.
Review of Literature:
This chapter deals with the review of studies and literature of various researches pertaining
to the topic. A review of the leadership literature reveals an evolving series of 'schools of
thought' from the “great man” notion of heroic leaders, through trait theories, behaviourist
theories, situational leadership, and contingency theory and on to transactional and
transformational leadership. Each of these offers some insights into the qualities of
successfulleaders, but there has been a shift in from the characteristics and behaviours of the
individual to recognition of the importance of responding to different situations and contexts
and the leaders‟ role in relation to the followers. The review continues with leadership
models and competency frameworks. These present a range of leadership and management
frameworks currently being used in organizations.
11. They define the qualities required of people in leadership positions and help to inform the
leadership development process.
Every leader in every organization performs certain roles/tasks for the smooth running of the
organization and improvement of organisational performance. The manner the leader
performs these roles and directs the affairs of the organisation is referred to as his/her
leadership style.
Leadership style therefore is the way a leader leads. Some leaders are more interested in the
work to be done than in the people they work with while others pay more attention to their
relationship with subordinates than the job. Leaders express leadership in many roles. These,
among others, are formulating aims and objectives, establishing structures,
The leadership style leaders chooseto perform the above mentioned roles will determine
whether they will accomplish the task at hand and long-term organisational goals or not, and
whether they will be able to achieve and maintain positive relationships with staff.
The purposeof reviewing literature on leadership is to have a better understanding of
leadership style as a concept, to examine different leadership styles to see their effectiveness
and how each style affects the relationship among the employees in the organization. The
interpretation of various leadership models suggests that no single leadership style is
adequate to run an organization effectively. Rather, the combination of styles is effective if
used appropriately as situations demand. More importantly, high performance should be the
aim of any organization in any country globally.
Even though there are other factors which influence leadership, the manager’s behaviour is
to some extent instrumental in enhancing the goal and objectives of the organization. In
order to assess the effect of leadership styles and employee performance, which is the focus
of this study, it is logical to examine various leadership styles.
2.2 What Is Leadership?
Leadership remains one of the most relevant aspects oforganizational context. For more than
five decades ago, the term leadership has been a researchable topic. Mostly, the research
work focuses on issues of quality of leadership, ability of a leader, or leadership
effectiveness, or leadership styles.
It’s the art or process ofinfluencing people so that they will strive willingly and
enthusiastically towards the achievement of group goals.
12. The traditional perspectives of leadership perceive the conceptof leadership as inducing
compliance, respect and cooperation. In other words, the leader exercises power over the
followers to obtain their cooperation(Anderson et, al., 1998). In addition to that, the old
leadership perspectives are based on leader’s role as formulating goals, and ensuring their
efficient accomplishment.
Both the old and new concepts of leadership appear to agree on some characteristics of
leadership. For example, both agree that leadership does not take place in isolation. Rather, it
takes place in the process oftwo or more people interacting and the leader seeks to influence
the behaviour of other people. However, to a large extent, the old conceptof leadership is
based on exercising power over followers to maintain the status quo, while the new
perspective is based on continuous improvement and power sharing with the followers. The
old conceptofleadership is based on downward exercise of power and authority while the
new seeks to develop respect and concern for the followers and see them as a powerful
sourceof knowledge, creativity and energy for improving the organization. The issue of
change and empowerment is the main focus of the new perspective on leadership.
The leader is expected to continually generate new ideas for increasing effectiveness and
productivity within the organization. She is required to provide needed strategies for
executing the ideas/vision and motivate the employees to accomplish the vision by using
their own initiatives to improve their inter-group relations in and outside of the organization.
2.3 Concept of Leadership:
Leadership is a conceptthat originally developed in folk psychology to explain social
influence on groups (Calder, 1977). Many people believe that leadership is simply being the
first, biggest or most powerful. Leadership in organizations has different and more
meaningful definitions.
Very simply put, a leader is interpreted as someone who sets direction in an effort and
influences people to follow that direction. Leadership is the process bywhich a person exerts
influence over people and inspires, motivates, and directs their activities to help achieve
groups or organizational goals (Jones and George, 2004). Therefore leadership is the ability
to influence a group towards the achievement of goals.
The sourceof this influence may be formal as a result of one possessinga managerial rank in
an organization or informal suchas non-sanctioned leadership, which is the ability to
influence that arises outside the formal structure of the organization. The informal structure
13. of leadership is as important if leadership is the result of the interaction among leaders, the
followers and the leadership situation. The leadership process contains all these elements.
Leadership generally is regarded as essential to group and organizational effectiveness. Thus,
leadership contributes significantly in the success and failure of organization. It tends to be
based on position, authority and seniority; for example, commitment is highly associated
with loyalty to the top boss in China
(Chen and Francesco, 2000). Effective leadership in organization, therefore, creates vision of
the future that considers the legitimate long term interest of the parties involved in the
organization to develop a strategy for moving forward towards that vision enlists the support
of employees to producethe movement and motivates employees to implement the strategy.
2.4 Leadership theories:
Various leadership paradigms have been used to describe leadership and leadership
effectiveness. Leadership paradigm has changed over the last decades;it has transited from
the traditional leadership to the new perspectives.
2.4.1 GreatManand Trait Theories:
The great man theory is based on the idea that leaders are bornwith innate, unexplainable
leadership skills, which cause other people to see them as heroes. It is based on the opinion
that leaders are right and leadership is rooted in the authority of their righteousness. Leaders
are elevated by their followers on the ground of their unique qualities that others do not have.
As a result, followers do not doubt their leaders‟ judgments.
Trait theories are based on great man theories. Trait approachto the understanding of
leadership perceives leadership as the core of organization effectiveness and performance.
Like the great man theories, trait perspective assumes that great leaders are born with
distinguished traits/characteristics that make them different from other people. According to
Sashkin and Sashkin (2003), researchers like Ralph stodgily, in his quest for the secret of
great leaders, review many research reports on leadership, based on the assumption that great
leaders are born. Sashkin and Sashkin (2003) indicate that Ralph Stodgily found that leaders
were a bit more intelligent, outgoing, creative, assertive, responsible, taller and heavier than
average people.
14. However, these differences in traits could not provide a solution to the search, as the list was
found to be statistically insignificant. Thus, Ralph Stodgily (in Sashkin and Sashkin 2003)
concluded that a person does not become a leader because of a combination of traits since the
impact of traits differs according to situation. Therefore, the characteristics of the situation
should be considered before ascribing greatness to an individual as a leader. Ralph Stogdill
and other researchers concluded that possessionof some traits might contribute to leadership
effectiveness. This is different from the original trait assumption that leaders are born and
not made. Even though there is no list of traits that guarantees leadership effectiveness, a
number of traits have been recently identified to contribute to leadership success as it
recognizes the influence of both traits and situation. Hoy and Miskel (2001) also identify
15. some traits that are currently associated with effective leadership as self-confidence, stress
tolerance, emotional maturity and integrity‟.
2.4.2 BehaviouralTheories:
The results of the trait studies were inconclusive. Traits, amongst other things, were hard to
measure. How, for example, do we measure traits such as honesty, integrity, loyalty, or
diligence? Another approachin the study of leadership had to be found. After the publication
of the late Douglas McGregor's classic book„The Human Side of Enterprise‟ in 1960,
attention shifted to „behavioural theories‟. McGregor was a teacher, researcher, and
consultant whose work was considered to be "on the cutting edge" of managing people. He
influenced all the behavioural theories, which emphasize focusing on human relationships,
along with output and performance. Behavioural leadership perspective assumes, like trait
leadership perspectives, that leadership is central to organizational performance.
However, the focus is on leader’s behaviour rather than leader’s personal
traits/characteristics Employee-centred or highly considerate leader is sensitive to
subordinates‟ feelings and strives to make things pleasant for them. In contrast, production-
centred leader or a leader high in initiating structure emphasizes completion of the task. The
behavioural types of leadership that will be examined are McGregor’s Theory X and Theory
Y Managers and Blake and Mouton's leadership grid.
2.4.2.1McGregor’s TheoryX and Theory Y Managers:
McGregor (1960) proposed that leadership strategies are influenced by a leader's
assumptions about human nature. As a result of his experience as a consultant, McGregor
summarized two contrasting sets of assumptions made by managers in industry. He
developed two attitude profiles, or assumptions, about the basic nature of people. These
attitudes were termed „Theory X and Theory Y. McGregor maintained that many leaders in
essence subscribeto either Theory X or Theory Y and behave accordingly.
It can therefore be seen that a leader holding Theory X assumptions would prefer an
autocratic style, whereas one holding Theory Y assumptions would prefer a more
participative style. The real value of McGregor’s work was to the idea that a leader’s attitude
towards human nature has a large influence on how that person behaves as leader. Thus the
relationship between a leader’s expectation and the resulting performance of a subordinate
has received much attention. Generally, it has been found that if a manager’s expectations
are high, productivity is likely to be poor. This theory suggests that a manager’s assumptions
and beliefs about nature of the individual determined his leadership behaviour.
16. Some elements of Mangala culture provide a fertile ground for the practice by a Theory X
leadership behaviour. These elements include overriding respectfor elders, authoritarian
political culture and high predisposition towards respect for authority. Moreover, certain
negative Attitudes prevalent among Ghanaian workers demand Theory X behaviour if the
manager expects to achieve results. Examples of such negative attitudes as identified by
Wood include the abuse of office for private gain, fence sitting, laziness and lethargy; lack of
commitment to work and poortime culture.
However, a Theory X leadership behaviour may not be applicable to all Ghanaian workers.
Some highly skilled and well educated employees and predisposed to a theory Y leadership
behaviour resist managers who adopt coercion and close supervision. Managers who
subscribeto the
Theory Y assumption tend to adopta participative style of management with emphasis on
consultation, worker participation in the decision making process;high consideration for
17. employee welfare, confidence in and recognition of individual ability. In firms where Theory
Y behaviour of leadership is prevalent, leadership lays emphasis on minimum direction goal
oriented environment, joint setting of performance standards, subordinates, employee
participation in the decision making process, recruiting employees with high achievement
orientation and creativity, harmonization of individual and organizational goals, recognition
of individual effort, and greater delegation of authority and decentralization.
Theory Y behaviour of leadership can be used in the Mangala environment especially in
organizations, which employ a large number of skilled and well-educated staff. Furthermore,
the existence of strong trade unions and staff association who usually demand consultation
before major leadership decisions are taken oblige managers to adoptTheory Y leadership
behaviour.
2.4.3. Fiedler’s ContingencyTheory:
Fiedler was the first to develop this leadership theory, which shows that situational variable
interacts with a leader’s personality and behaviour. Fiedler (1967) believes that there is no
single best way for managers to lead. Situations will create different leadership style
requirements for a manager. The solution to a managerial situation is contingent on the
factors that impinge on the situation. Forexample, in a highly routine (mechanistic)
environment where repetitive tasks are the norm, a relatively directive leadership style may
result in the best performance. However, in a dynamic environment a more flexible,
participative style may be required.
Fiedler looked at three situations that could define the condition of a managerial task:
(i) Leader member relations: How well do the manager and the employees get along?
(ii) Task structure: Is the job highly structured, fairly unstructured, or somewhere in
between?
(iii) Position power: How much authority does the manager possess?
Managers were rated as to whether they were relationship oriented or task oriented. Task
oriented managers tend to do better in situations that have good leader-member relationships,
structured tasks and either weak or strong position power. They do well when the task is
unstructured but position power is strong. Also, they did well at the other end of the
spectrum when the leader member relations were moderate to poorand the task was
unstructured.
Relationship oriented managers do better in all other situations. Thus, a given situation might
call for a manager with a different style or a manager who could take on a different style for
a different situation.
18. These environmental variables are combined in a weighted sum that is termed "favourable"
at one end and "unfavourable" at the other. Task oriented style is preferable at the clearly
defined extremes of "favourable" and "unfavourable" environments, but relationship
orientation excels in the middle ground. Managers could attempt to reshape the environment
variables to match their style.
Another aspectof the contingency model theory is that the leader-member relations, task
structure, and position power dictate a leader's situational control. Leader-member relations
are the amount of loyalty, dependability, and supportthat the leader receives from
employees. It is a measure of how the manager perceives him or her and the group of
employees is getting along together. In a favourable relationship the manager has a high task
structure and is able to reward and or punish employees without any problems. In an
unfavourable relationship the task is usually unstructured and the leader possesses limited
authority. The spelling out in detail (favourable) of what is required of subordinates affects
task structure.
Positioning power measures the amount of power or authority the manager perceives the
organization has given him or her for the purposeof directing, rewarding, and punishing
subordinates. Positioning power of managers depends on the taking away (favourable) or
increasing (unfavourable) the decision-making power of employees.
The task-motivated style leader experiences pride and satisfaction in the task
accomplishment for the organization, while the relationship-motivated style seeks to build
interpersonal relations and extend extra help for team development in the organization. There
is no good or bad leadership style. Each person has his or her own preferences for leadership.
Task-motivated leaders are at their best when the group performs successfully suchas
achieving a new sales record or outperforming the major competitor.
Relationship-oriented leaders are at their bestwhen greater customer satisfaction is gained
and a positive company image is established. Durbin (1998) holds that good relationship
between Leader and follower is the most important factor that makes life easy for the leader
in terms of Influencing and exercising control over his/her situation. . It appears that
Fielder’s theory suggests that there are two main leadership behaviour styles: task-oriented
and relationship-oriented, otherwise, there are indications that the leader who is high on task
behaviour may or may not be high or low on relationship behaviour. However, any
combination of those two is possible. It has been observed that leaders who are people-
oriented create positive climate in their organizations.
2.4.4 Tannenbaum and Schmidt’s Leadership Continuum:
19. One criticism of early work on leadership styles is that they looked at styles too much in
black and white terms. The autocratic and democratic styles or task-oriented and
relationship-oriented styles, which they described are extremes, whereas in practice the
behaviour of many, perhaps most leaders in business will be somewhere between the two.
Contingency theorists
Tannenbaum and Schmidt suggested the idea that leadership behaviour varies along a
continuum and that as one moves away from the autocratic extreme the amount of
subordinate participation and involvement in decision taking increases. They also suggested
that the kind of leadership represented by the democratic extreme of the continuum will be
rarely encountered in formal organizations.
Four main leadership styles can be located at points along such a continuum:
ose expecting subordinates to
carry them out without question (the Telling style).
the scale the leader also takes all the decisions for the group
without discussionor consultation but believes that people will be better motivated if they
are persuaded that the decisions are good ones. He or she does a lot of explaining and
'selling' in order to overcome any possibleresistance to what he or she wants to do.
The leader also puts a lot of energy into creating enthusiasm for the goals he or she has set
for the group (the Selling style).
ith the group members before taking
decisions and, in fact, considers their advice and their feelings when framing decisions. He
or she may, of course, not always acceptthe subordinates' advice but they are likely to feel
that they can have some influence. Under this leadership style the decision and the full
responsibility for it remain with the leader but the degree of involvement by subordinates in
decision taking is very much greater than telling or selling styles (the Consulting style).
20. : Using this style the leader would characteristically lay the problem before his
or her subordinates and invite discussion. The leader's role is that of conference leader, or
chair, rather than that of decision taker. He or she will allow the decision to emerge out of
the process ofgroup discussion, instead of imposing it on the group as its boss (the Joining
style).
What distinguishes this approachfrom previous discussions of leadership style is that there
will be some situations in which each of the above styles is likely to be more appropriate
than the others.
ropriate and would normally be
considered justified by the group (as long as the general climate of that group is supportive
and mature).
ch the group leader, and he or
she alone, possesses all the information on which the decision must be based and which at
the same time calls for a very high level of commitment and enthusiasm on the part of group
members if the task is to be carried through successfully.
priate when there is time in
which to reach a considered decision and when the information on which the decision needs
to be based lies among the members of the group.
2.4.5 The Path-GoalApproach to Leadership Effectiveness:
According to the first of all theory, the manager’s job is viewed as guiding workers to choose
the best paths to reach their goals, as well as the organizational goals. The theory argues that
leaders will have to engage in different types of leadership behaviour depending on the
nature and the demands of a particular situation. It is the leader’s job to assist followers in
attaining goals and to provide the direction and supportneeded to ensure that their goals are
compatible with the organization’s goals.
A leader’s behaviour is acceptable to subordinates when viewed as a sourceof satisfaction,
and motivational when need satisfaction is contingent on performance, and the leader

21. Facilitates, coaches, and rewards effective performance. The original path-goal theory
identifies achievement-oriented, directive, participative, and supportive leader behaviours:
The directive path-goalclarifying leader behaviour refers to situations where the leader
lets followers know what is expected of them and tells them how to perform their tasks.
The theory argues that this behaviour has the most positive effect when the subordinates'
role and task demands are ambiguous and intrinsically satisfying.
The achievement-oriented leader behaviour refers to situations where the leader sets
challenging goals for followers, expects them to perform at their highest level, and shows
confidence in their ability to meet this expectation. Occupations in which the
achievement motive were most predominant were technical jobs, sales persons, scientists,
engineers, and entrepreneurs.
The participative leader behaviour involves leaders consulting with followers and asking
for their suggestions before making a decision. This behaviour is predominant when
subordinates are highly personally involved in their work.
The supportive leader behaviour is directed towards the satisfaction of subordinates
needs and preferences. The leader shows concern for the followers’ psychological
wellbeing. This behaviour is especially needed in situations in which tasks or
relationships are psychologically or physically distressing.
Path–goal theory assumes that leaders are flexible and that they can change their style, as
situations require. The theory proposes two contingency variables, such as environment and
follower characteristics, that moderate the leader behaviour-outcome relationship.
Environment is outside the control of the follower-task structure, authority system, and work
group. Environmentalfactors determine the type of leader behaviour required if the follower
outcomes are to be maximized. Follower characteristics are the locus of control, experience,
and perceived ability. Personal characteristics of subordinates determine how the
environment and leader are interpreted. Effective leaders clarify the path to help their
followers achieve goals and make the journey easier by reducing roadblocks and
pitfalls. [1] [5] Research demonstrates that employee performance and satisfaction are
positively influenced when the leader compensates for the shortcomings in either the
employee or the work setting. According to North Ouse, the theory is useful because it
reminds leaders that their central purposeas a leader is to help subordinates define and reach
their goals in an efficient manner.
Work Environment
22. In contrast to the Fiedler contingency model, the path–goal model states that the four
leadership styles are fluid, and that leaders can adoptany of the four depending on what the
situation demands.
2.4.6 Kinds of leaders‟ behaviour:
(a) Directive leadershipstyle
Directive leadership style is similar to the task-oriented style. The leader who uses this type
of leadership style provides teachers with specific guidelines, rules and regulations with
regard to planning, organizing and performing activities. This style is deemed to be
appropriate when subordinates‟ ability is low and or the task to be performed is complex or
ambiguous. Job satisfaction is increased when the leader gives more directives
(b) Supportive leadership style
Supportive leadership style is more of a relationship-oriented style. It requires the leader to
be approachable and friendly. He/she displays concern for the well-being and personal needs
of the subordinates. He/she creates an emotionally supportive climate. This style is effective
when subordinates lack self-confidence, work on dissatisfying or stressful tasks and work
does not provide job satisfaction.
(c) Participative leadershipstyle
The leader who employs this style consults with subordinates for ideas and takes their ideas
seriously when making decisions. This style is effective when subordinates are well
motivated and competent.
(d) Achievement-oriented style
In this style, the leader sets challenging but achievable goals for the subordinates. He/she
pushes work improvement and sets high expectations for subordinates and rewards them
when the expectations are met. That is, the leader provides both high directive (structure) and
high supportive (consideration) behaviour. This style works well with achievement oriented
subordinates
2.4.7 TransformationalLeadershipand TransactionalLeadership
Transformationalleadershipis a process in which the leaders take actions to try to
increase their associates' awareness of what is right and important, to raise their associates'
motivational maturity and to move their associates to go beyond the associates' own self-
interests for the good of the group, the organization, or society. Such leaders provide their
associates with a sense of purposethat goes beyond a simple exchange of rewards for effort
23. provided. The transformational leaders are proactive in many different and unique ways.
These leaders attempt to optimize development, not just performance. Development
encompasses the maturation of ability, motivation, attitudes, and values. Such leaders want
to elevate the maturity level of the needs of their associates (from security needs to needs for
achievement and self-development). They convince their associates to strive for a higher
level of achievement as well as higher levels of moral and ethical standards. Through the
development of their associates, they optimize the development of their organization as well.
High performing associates build high performing organizations.
Hooper and Potter (1997) extend the notion of transformational leadership to identify seven
key competences of “transcendent leaders”: those able to engage the emotional supportof
their
Followers and thus effectively transcend change.
(i) Setting direction
(ii) Setting an example
(iii) Communication
(iv) Alignment
(v) Bringing out the best in people
(vi) The leader as a change agent
(vii) Providing decision in a crisis and on the ambiguous
Were as Transactionalleadership has been the traditional model of leadership with its roots
from an organisational or business perspective in the „bottom line‟. Bass and Avoid (1997)
describe the transactional leadership style as based on traditional bureaucratic authority and
legitimacy.
Transactional leaders are able to entice subordinates to perform and thereby achieve desired
outcomes by promising those rewards and benefits for the accomplishment of tasks (Bass,
1990).
Bass describes the transactional leader’s relationship with the subordinates as having three
phases. Firstly, he recognises what subordinates want to get from their work and ensures that
they get what they want given that their performance is satisfactory. Secondly, rewards and
promises of rewards are exchanged for employee’s effort. Lastly, the leader responds to his
employee’s immediate self-interests if they can be met through completing the work.
24. The focal point of transactional leadership is on role elucidation. The leader assists the
follower in understanding precisely what needs to be achieved in order to meet the
organisation’s objectives.
2.5 Performance Management
2.5.1 ConceptofPerformance Management
Performance is important to us as people and as organisations. The topic of performance is
not a straightforward one the word “performance” is utilised extensively in all fields of
management. Despite the frequency of the use of the word, its precise meaning is rarely
explicitly defined by authors even when the main focus of the article or bookis on
performance.
The correctinterpretation of the word performance is important and must never be misread
in the context of its use. Often performance is identified or equated with effectiveness and
efficiency
In fact, most of us believe that we can, and will, improve at what we do, and we expect
others to improve over time as well. Performance is a relative conceptdefined in terms of
some referent employing a complex set of time-based measurements of generating future
results.
Performance management is an integral part of effective human resource management and
development strategy. Performance management is an ongoing and joint process where the
employee, with the assistance of the employer, “strives to improve the employee’s individual
performance and his contribution to the organisation’s wider objectives”
Define performance management as “the process that begins with translating the overall
strategic objectives of the organisation into clear objectives for each individual employee”.
Performance management can also be seen to incorporate all of those aspects of human
resource management that are designed to progress and/or develop the effectiveness and
efficiency of boththe individual and the organisation
2.5.2PerformanceandLeadership
The success ofan organisation is reliant on the leader’s ability to optimise human resources.
A good leader understands the importance of employees in achieving the goals of the
organisation, and that motivating these employees is of paramount importance in achieving
these goals. To have an effective organisation the people within the organisation need to be
inspired to invest themselves in the organisation’s mission: the employees need to be
stimulated so that they can be effective; hence effective organisations require effective
leadership.
25. Leadership is perhaps the most thoroughly investigated organisational variable that has a
potential impact on employee performance. Winning leaders understand what motivates
employees and how the employee’s strengths and weaknesses influence their decisions,
actions, and relationships. Cummings and Schwab mention the connection between
leadership traits or leadership behaviours and employee performance.
However, they stress that the literature was not based on empirical evidence and therefore
has becomediscredited over time (Cummings and Schwab, 1973; Fiedler and House, 1988).
There is agreement in the literature (Maritz, 1995; Bass, 1997) that leadership is a critical
factor in the success orfailure of an organisation; excellent organisations begin with
excellent leadership, and successfulorganisations therefore reflect their leadership. Leaders
are effective when the influence they exert over their subordinates works towards achieving
organisational performance (Jones and George, 2000). Furthermore, leadership is often
regarded as the single most critical success factorin the success orfailure of an institution
(Bass, 1990). Leadership is undoubtedly the critical determinant of the success ofan
organisation, and thus determines organisational performance in the competitive global
market.
Research into organisational behaviour in different environments found that transformational
leadership has a positive influence on employee performance, and therefore organisational
performance (Bass and Avolio, 1994; Ristow, 1998). However, through research by Pruijn
and Boucher (1994) it was shown that transformational leadership is an extension of
transactional leadership (Bass, 1997).The difference between these two models is that
followers of transformational leadership exhibit performance which is beyond expectations,
while transactional leadership, at best, leads to expected performance (Bass and Avolio,
1994). Ristow (1998) states that transactional leaders were effective in markets, which were
continually growing, and where there was little or no competition, but this is not the case in
the markets of today, where competition is fierce and resources are scarce. Research data
(Brand, et al., 2000) has clearly shown that transformational leaders are more effective than
transactional leaders, regardless of how “effectiveness” has been defined.

28. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Process
A research cannot be conducted abruptly. The researcher has to proceed systematically in the
already planned direction with the help of a number of steps in sequence. All the research
conducting steps, when combined together from the research process. Ifall the steps are
taken systematically manner, the research conducted becomes quite effective.
Steps involved in a Research
The research process is carried out according to a designated series of steps which are taken
in a chronological order. The major steps are:
1. Problem definition
The first step in a research process is to define the problem chosenfor investigation. This
step is very significant on, since it is said, “A problem well-defined is half solved”.
2. Statement of research objectives
Research objective may be stated in qualitative and quantitative terms.
3. Planning the research design
Research design is the basic frame work, which provides guidelines for the research process.
It is a map or blue print according to which the research is to be conducted.
Primary Data Collection
Primary data is collected through questionnaire and interview method. Primary data are those
which are collected for the first time and thus happen to be original in character.
There are several methods of collecting primary data as follows:
1. Observationmethod
Under observation method, the information needed by researcher is obtained by merely
observing the consumer’s behavior without asking questions.
2. Interview method
The interview method involves the collection of data through personal interviews, telephone
interviews etc. In personal interview method, the interviewers ask questions in a face contact
29. to the other personor persons. Telephone interview method of collecting information
consists in contacting respondents on telephone itself.
3. Questionnaire method
Questionnaire is printed list of questions sent to the respondent. The success ofthis method
depends on the properdrafting of questions. The different types of questions are:
1. Direct questions
2. Indirect questions
3. Open end questions
4. Closed end questions
5. Dichotomous questions.
The primary data collected for this research is based on the observation method, personal
interview method and questionnaire method.
Secondary Data Collection
Secondarydata is collected from published sourcedepending upon the gathering or
disturbing source. The secondary data can be divided into two categories:
1. Internal secondarydata
2. External secondary data.
External data are generated and collection from the sources outside. External data can be
obtained from the following sources:
Government sources
Commercial sources
Industrial sources
Miscellaneous sources.
Sampling
Sampling is the duty of the researcher to decide whether information should be collected
from every unit of population or only a portion of population will be used. If the information
is collected from every unit of population it is called sinus method. Whereas, if information
is collected only from a few minutes of the population, it is called sampling method.
Methods of Sampling
Sampling method can be classified into two:
30. 1. Probability sampling
Probability sampling is also known as random sampling. Under this method each
elements or member of the population have a chance of being selected.
2. Non-probability sampling
The sampling procedurewhich does not afford any basis for estimating the probability for
each item to be reduced in the sample. The sampling technique used for this research study is
convenience sampling, under non-probability sampling.
Population
The universe is the specific group of people firms, condition activities etc. which form the
pivotal point of research project. The population taken for this research is 50.
Sample
The group of respondents selected from the population conducting a study in detail, for the
purposeof obtaining the research result constitutes sample.
Sample Size
Sample size is referred to as the number units to be included in the sample. Sample size of
this research is 50.
Tools for Analysis
Various statistical tools to be used to analysis and interpret the collection data are called
tools for analysis. The various tools used for analysis the data collected for this research are:
1. Tables
2. Charts
3. Column diagrams
Period of Study
The time taken for the completion of the research study is known as period of study. The
period of study of this research problem is 5 months, Nov- March 2013- 2014
32. Seafood Exporters Association of India
HISTORY:
India with a coastline of 8041 km has always occupied a significant position in the world
fisheries map. For the last 8 years consecutively India has exported seafood worth more than
US$ 1 billion. Indian seafood is relished world over by connoisseurs of seafood becauseof
its purity, freshness and flavour.
Indian Tiger Shrimp, Scampi, Cattle Fish, Squid and other fin fishes like Seer fish , Pomfret,
Reef cod, Mullet, Ribbon fish etc. – offer excellent opportunities for the importers to source
their requirement of seafood from India. The unpolluted Indian waters, the state of art
technology adopted by Indian processors, commitment by the processorsto pack quality
products and above all strong and sound trade relationship between the buyers and sellers
makes India the perfect country to source fishery products.
India International Seafood Show 2003, offers an ideal meeting place for the Indian seafood
processors, exporters, buyers, hatchery and aquaculture farm owners and trawler operators
to interact, exchange ideas and evolve strategies for mutual benefit.
The first India International Seafood Show was held in the year 1973 at Mumbai. Thereafter
13 fairs have been held so far in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi, Bangalore, Delhi and
Visakhapatnam - all of them have attracted a large number of Indian and Overseas players in
the seafood trade.
This is the first time, Goa, the finest tourist destination in India is hosting this mega event.
Undoubtedly, Goa is the perfect place to mix business with pleasure. A tiny emerald land
fringed by world class beaches, Goais truly a Tropical Paradise on the West Coastof India.
A beachcomber's delight, Goa has a rich historical heritage with ancient churches,
monuments, colonial ruins which combine to make GOA, a tourist destination of
international repute.
Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI) was incorporated with the main objective to
protect and promote the interest of the companies engaged in the seafood
33. Business and to develop the international trade of seafood from India. SEAI has its
corporatebase in Cochin in Kerala and eight regional offices in Kerala,
Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Orissa, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
The Seafood Export Industry in India is over 50 years old and was initiated when the first
shipment of frozen shrimp was sent from the port of Cochin in 1953 by
Mr.Madhavan Nair owner of Cochin Company. Initially, canned shrimp exports were mainly
focussed and then due to non-availability of suitable cans in the country,
The industry was shortly compelled to move to exports of frozen shrimp. The export of other
varieties of Fish, Squid, Cuttlefish, Octopus, Crabs,Clams and Mussels started later in the
late 1960's.
The Indian Seafood Industry today is on a totally different footing as to what existed in the
late sixties.
India has taken a major stand in the Global Seafood Market and our seafood is one of the
biggest foreign exchange earners.
Todaywe have world class seafood factories following quality control procedures meeting
the most stringent of international standards.
Though shrimp continues to dominate our export basket, the Indian Seafood Industry has
diversified its productrange and its markets.
For many years, Japan was India’s largest export market but in the last two years United
States has emerged as India’s leading export market.
We export mainly basic raw material for reprocessing to Japan whereas our exports to the
United States consists of value added products for
Direct use in the American Food Service Industry and for retail sale in the supermarkets.
Our seafood exports now include crabs, lobsters and other kinds of fish.
Our seafood exports have surged each year from the late sixties right up to the late nineties
when we crossed ourUS$1.3 billion per annum in exports.
We reached a peak export level of US$1.3 billion per annum in 2001 and subsequently the
industry has stagnated due to recession and the after effects of Tsunami.
This implausible export growth of the seafood sectorwith very little assistance from
government is a tribute to the enterprise and resilience of the Small Indian entrepreneur.
34. The Indian Seafood Industry is comprised mainly of small and medium size family concerns
and large corporatecompanies have almost
No presence here. Even those that ventured withdrew due to an inability to manage the
environment and dynamics of the industry. Very recently with the consolidation and
systematization of the industry, large corporatecompanies have begun to invest in the Indian
Seafood Industry.
The booming market of India’s seafood sustains and supportthe entire fisheries sectorof the
annual 25,000 crore Indian Fisheries sectorof which
7000 crore is exported. It is the value realized from exports that gives our fishing
communities a sustainable steady income. What needs to be noted is that of the
7000 crores exports, more than 50% is for shrimp aquaculture. Todaythe Ministry of
Commerce and the Marine ProductDevelopment Authority work very closely with the
Industry for the growth of India’s seafood exports.
Over 150 processingfacilities have received European Union approval from the existing 350
processing facilities in India. The factories are located in 20 clusters
along the East and West Coastof India and we need to develop these clusters into
international seafood processinghubs. With internationally recognized processing
Facilities, competitively priced skilled labour and raw material, India is now on the fast
track to produceand supply valued seafood products in convenience packs
By adopting the latest technologies and by tapping the unexploited and under exploited
fishery resources.SeafoodExporters Association of India is focussed on
Providing better technology, food safety assurance, logistics and marketing to create a
competitive edge for the Indian market.SEAi is in the lookout of establishing
Various infrastructure facilities in various coastalstates like landing centres, water treatment
plants, common effluent treatment plants etc.
