TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com ABSTRACT The definition of leadership and the role of effective leadership in organizations has been investigated by many scholars over the world. However, the perception of leadership in Viet Nam remains limited. Obviously, Vietnamese leaders have not identified the important role of applying an effective leadership style in enhancing organizational performance. Moreover, they have not had a sufficient perception of employee’s importance and focused on how to maintain a long-term relationship with their subordinates. Thus, a further research need to conduct to prove the crucial role of leadership in organizations and how the leadership style affects the company performance in terms of the quality of employee-organization relationships. The purpose of this current study is to examine empirically the impacts of authentic leadership on symmetrical internal communication and employee- organization relationships. This research was conducted through a two-phase study, including the qualitative study and main quantitative research. After interviewing deeply with six participants, who come from different positions with various backgrounds in a wide range of aviation organizations to get their opinions about research problems and modification for scale items, a final single survey was achieved. Then, this survey was delivered to Vietnamese staffs from the aviation industry in Vietnam. The data were collected based on a sample size of 140 participants by the convenient sampling technique. Moreover, structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that authentic leadership positively affects EORs both directly and indirectly, through symmetrical internal communication. Also, the study provides theoretical and practical implications as well as suggested directions for future research. On the other hand, some limitations were mentioned in this study.

In addition, this chapter illustrated the research problem in the Vietnamese context with dimensions adapted to the specific Vietnamese culture. Moreover, the purpose, scope and significance of the study were also introduced. Research background and research problem Internal communication is always a vital process by which employees share information, targets, relationships, make meaning, establish organizational culture as well as an organizational value (Berger, 2008). Internal communication is considered as a fundamental factor of modern organizations. Numerous scholars have suggested that effective internal communication plays a critical role in developing positive follower attitudes such as trust, organization's commitment (Jo and Shim, 2005), job satisfaction (Gray and Laidlaw, 2004), identification with an organization (Smidts et al., 2001) and positive employees-organization relationships. These attitudes and behaviors, in turn, increase productivity, improve performance, build greater relationships with other stakeholders. Recognizing the importance of employees in achieving organization's successes, researchers have conducted broadly studies exploring the drivers of internal communication effectiveness. Dozier et al., (1995); Grunig et al., (2002) suggested that a participative organizational culture, an organic structure, gender equality and power symmetry are the key factors that facilitate the organization’s internal communication. However, in recent years, researchers have noticed about the influences of leadership on internal communication. Leader’s communication styles are one of the main contextual factors in the internal communication system in the organization (Whitworth, 2011; Men, 2014), affect follower attitudes and behaviors TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail. Furthermore, leaders enable context and determine the degree in which internal communication takes place. Yukl (2006) defined leadership as the process of influencing followers. Leadership at different organizational levels directly or indirectly determines structural forms, organizational culture and climate, power distribution, and communication. Different types of leadership advocate different communication styles to influence followers, and thus constitute a major component of the internal communication system (Whitworth, 2011). Also, leader’s communication competence, management styles, leader’s communication behaviors is closely connected to employee outcomes, the quality of employee-organization relationships. On the other hand, studies related to the impact of leadership styles on internal and external communication effectiveness have limitations. Most previous studies considered the connection between internal communication and general leadership style. Similarly, a noticeable role of specific leadership style in that relationship has not yet to been proved broadly in various contexts in research, involving authentic leadership which embraces considerable effects on the internal communication system in an organization (Men and Stacks, 2014). According to George et al., (2007), authentic leaders demonstrate a passion for their purpose, lead with their hearts as well as their heads and their values are practiced consistently. Previous scholars suggested that authentic leaders establish long-term, meaningful relationships and have the self discipline to get results. They know who they are and become true to themselves. Thus, they proactively foster positive environments where their employees can easily conduct two way communication, including feedback about their managers, whether it is good or not. Further, leaders with authentic leadership openly sharing information and expressions of one’s true thoughts and feelings while trying to minimize displays of inappropriate emotions (Kernis, 2003). These leaders don’t hesitate to disclose information related to making decisions or any issues happening within the organization which employees have right to know and respond. Besides that, authentic leaders recognize that TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 3 leadership is not about their success or about getting loyal subordinates to follow them (George et al. Thanks to their character, authentic leaders are noted to foster the long-term relationship with their subordinates. Moreover, they act in harmony with their words as well as deep personal values and convictions to build credibility and win the respect and trust of followers (Walumbwa et al. These things make a significant contribution to employee engagement and improve the quality of employee-organization relationships.Although, authentic leadership generates numerous positive outcomes, most studies are conducted in western countries which charactered by individualism value, low-power distance. (Gardner et al. In the view of these gaps, the current study makes an important contribution to fulfill. Additionally, few empirical studies have directly examined the effects of internal communication with employees-organization relationships (Kim, 2007; Kim and Rhee, 2011; Shen, 2011; Waters et al., 2013; Men, 2014; Men and Stacks, 2014;). In contrast, recent researchers have tested the linkage between internal communication and organization performance (Broom and Dozier, 1983; Dozier, 1990; Grunig et al., 2002; Yates, 2006; Meng and Berger, 2012; Michaelson and Stacks, 2017) as well as the influences of leadership styles, particularly authentic leadership and top manager’s communication forms of effective internal communication, employee engagement, positive employee-organization relationships (Men and Stacks, 2014; Men 2015; Kang, 2017). Leadership styles, excellent communication have significantly proved to nurture better relationship between employees and their organization (Kress, 2005; Lockswood, 2007; Men and Stacks, 2014; Kang, 2017). The studies on the relationship amongst leadership styles, internal communication, the quality of employee-organization relationships have limitations in Vietnam’s current business context. Furthermore, Vietnamese enterprises’s perceptions of these strategic problems have been misunderstood (Vu, 2013). They TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 4 have not determined the importance of effective internal communication operation in enhancing company performance in the future, specifically, top manager’s roles in applying leadership and management perspectives to work on and increase employee commitment through effective internal communication system in the organization (Vu, 2013). Thus, this study investigates the effects of authentic leadership on symmetrical internal communication and employee-organization. The aim of study is to examine authentic leadership scale (AQL) of Neider & Schriesheim (2011), Grunig’s internal communication scale in Vietnam and measure the linkage between these two concepts and the quality of employee- organization relationships. The findings provide significant implications for communication professionals and organizational leaders on how to develop the best practices of internal communication and positive employee attitudes and behavior that contribute to organizational effectiveness. Research objectives The purposes of this study are:  To investigate the impacts of authentic leadership on symmetrical internal communication, direct and indirect effects of this leadership style on employee-organization relationships.  To adapt the authentic leadership scale, symmetrical internal communication, employee-organization relationships to Vietnamese context.  To provide management implications to enhance the positive influences of internal communication on employee outcomes. Scope and subject of the study  Subject of the study: The effects of authentic leadership on symmetrical internal communication and employee-organization relationships.
