Abstract

In this quantitative research investigation, the researchers test the moderating role of work motivation on the relationship between adaptive leadership and work efficiency and organizational commitment of employees in an organization under a rehabilitation plan. Data were collected using the method of stratified sampling from 372 subjects. Data were analyzed using the technique of partial least square (PLS) with PLS-SEM 3.0 program to test research hypotheses.


Findings showed that adaptive leadership negatively related to work efficiency of the employees under study (ꞵ = -0.24; p < 0.05) and positively related to organizational commitment (ꞵ = 0.20; p < 0.05). Employees’ work motivation did not affect the relationship between adaptive leadership and work efficiency and organizational commitment. Recommendations from this study are important to the organizations under a rehabilitation plan facing changing situations. Therefore, the leadership that negatively affects work efficiency in the organizations under a rehabilitation plan must take into consideration and pay attention. The organizations under a rehabilitation plan should develop leadership of the organizations in all sectors to be ready to be role models and leaders for the employees. This will ensure work efficiency and foster the employees to have organizational commitment which will enhance good relationship to fight against all kinds of obstacles.
