Based on the theoretical underpinnings described above, a structural regression
model (Model 8) was specified with both the Motivational Leadership (ML) and
Employee Empowerment (EM) constructs as predictors of Mission Clarity (MC1).
The model and parameter estimates are illustrated in Figure 7 - 27.
Figure 7-27 Estimates for Model 8: Mission Clarity
The analysis shows that both motivational leadership and employee
empowerment contribute significantly to employee mission clarity. Together,
these two variables explain 38 per cent of the variance in the Mission Clarity
variable. The effect sizes are 0.482 for the EM→MC path and 0.194 for the
ML→MC path. Following the discussion of Kline (2005: 122) and Cohen (1988) in
Section 7.14 above, these effects are interpreted as large and small-to-medium
respectively.
