  • Response to Classmates: Employee Satisfaction and Company Performance in the Technology Industry “The Impact of Leadership Style, Emotional Intelligence, and Generational Cohort on Organizational Innovation: A Literature Review”

    USE THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION AND
    REFERENCES TO RESPOND BACK TO THE 2 CLASSMATES LISTED BELOW.
    ORIGINAL
    How does employee satisfaction
    affect company performance in the technology industry?
    Quantitative Research
    Question
    To what extent does employee satisfaction (independent
    variable) influence key performance indicators (dependent variable) in
    technology companies?
    Variables
    Independent Variable
    Employee Satisfaction
    Definition
    The overall contentment and fulfillment experienced by
    employees within a technology company.
    Measurement
    Can be quantified through surveys using Likert scales or
    other standardized measures assessing various aspects such as job satisfaction,
    work-life balance, career development opportunities, and organizational
    culture.
    Operationalization
    Scores obtained from surveys measuring employee
    satisfaction will be used as the independent variable in the research study.
    Dependent Variable
    Company Performance
    Definition
    The achievement of objectives and goals by a technology
    company is often measured through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as
    revenue growth, market share, innovation rate, and customer satisfaction
    (Hristov & Chirico, 2019).
    Measurement
    Quantitative data was obtained from financial reports,
    customer feedback surveys, market analysis, and innovation metrics.
    Operationalization
    KPIs that are specific to the technology industry, such
    as revenue growth percentage, market share percentage, innovation rate like
    number of patents or new products developed, and customer satisfaction scores,
    will be used as indicators of company performance in the research study.
    Statistical analysis tools like correlation analysis and
    regression analysis will be used to investigate the connection between employee
    satisfaction and company performance. Correlation analysis assesses how strong
    and in what direction the connection is between employee satisfaction and each
    Key Performance Indicator (KPI) separately, while regression analysis can help
    identify important factors that predict company performance, including employee
    satisfaction (Hayes, 2014). This study using quantitative methods will offer
    important information on how employee satisfaction affects the overall
    performance and success of technology firms.

    Financial information is provided to inform potential
    investors and help current shareholders monitor their investment (Beyer et
    al., 2010). The SEC requires public companies to adopt Generally Accepted
    Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the presentation of financial statements. GAAP
    regulations require certain disclosures, but management usually makes voluntary
    disclosures as well to share information they deem necessary to relay to the
    public (Arena et al., 2023). Management also discloses non-GAAP earnings information
    that are outside the scope of auditors. The purpose of providing non-GAAP
    information is to provide a better view of core operation results and exclude
    temporary items to give a better picture of future results (Son, 2024). However,
    critics claim that companies may report pro forma earnings to make performance
    look better and investors may
    be deceived by overstated reporting. A quantitative research question and variables are
    listed below and can be studied using financial data published with the SEC.
    Research
    Question: What is the impact of non-GAAP projected earnings on future
    performance?
    Independent
    Variable: Non-GAAP projected earnings
    Dependent
    Variable: Future GAAP earnings and Future proforma earnings

    Carmeli et al. (2013) Investigates
    whether leader supportive behaviors promote knowledge sharing and improve
    employee creative problem-solving, thereby increasing creative performance.
    Their findings show that leader support is linked to both internal and external
    knowledge sharing, which increases employees’ capacity for creative
    problem-solving and improves creative performance, particularly in terms of
    originality (Carmeli et al., 2013). These findings highlight leaders’
    multifaceted role in facilitating knowledge sharing and creative problem
    solving, which ultimately improves organizational creative
    performance (Carmeli et al., 2013). In this study,  following
    variables were studied to understand the relationships between leader
    behaviors, knowledge sharing, creative problem-solving capacity, and creative
    performance.
    Independent
    Variables:
    Leader
    Behaviors
    Internal
    Knowledge Sharing
    External
    Knowledge Sharing
    Creative
    Problem-Solving Capacity
    Dependent
    Variables:
    Creative
    Performance  
    In a
    similar field of interest, I want to investigate the impact of leadership style
    (LS) and emotional intelligence (EI) on innovation, as well as how the
    generational cohort influences this impact. My research questions and variables
    are listed below.
    RQ1. How do
    Leadership styles(LS) impact organizational innovation?
    In this research question, independent variable is LS and dependent variable is
    organizational innovation. 
    RQ2. How
    does Emotional Intelligence(EI) impact organizational innovation?
    In this research question, independent variable is EI and dependent variable is
    organizational innovation. 
    RQ3. How
    would the generational cohort influence the impact on innovation?
    In
    this research question, independent variable is Generational cohort and
    dependent variable is organizational innovation.
