Abstract

This systematic review aimed to analyze the characteristics and synthesize leadership influencing organizational innovation in public sectors. Research articles were searched from databases including Medline, Pubmed, CINAHL, Google scholar, and ThaiLIS. The inclusion criteria for paper selection included: 1) a research article mainly focused on leadership and innovation in public health organizations; 2) research article published in peer-reviewed journals with research quality criteria evaluation; and 3) a quantitative research article published between 2009 – 2018. The Quality Assessment Criteria for Research Papers⁷ was used as a tool to assess the selected research articles. The tool evaluated by the researcher team yielded 83.53% of inter-rater reliability. Kappa statistics was used to assess the consensus between the assessors. It was found that the research quality assessment between the assessors is not significantly different (k = 0.17, p = .13). Descriptive statistics were applied to describe research articles.

Findings are as follows: all research articles used quantitative design (n = 23). Mostly, the settings of study were governmental organizations which included multi organizations (n = 9), followed by educational sectors (n = 8), and health sectors (n = 6). Most studies were published during 2014-2018 (n = 19) and during 2009-2013 (n = 4). Most research studies were conducted for the purpose of predictive leadership and innovation in the organizations (n = 12), followed by the relationships between leadership and innovation (n = 10), and the least as descriptive study (n = 1). Most sample sizes range from 200 to 300 subjects (n = 8). The highest number of samples is 8,640 whereas the minimum is 83 subjects. In all studies, data were collected using a questionnaire (n = 23). The leadership concepts mostly applied in research studies was the Transformational Leadership Theory (Bass & Avolio, 1994) (n = 17). Leadership was used as an independent variable (n=22) and as a mediator (n = 1). The organizational innovation was mostly used as a dependent variable in studies (n = 21) and as a mediator (n = 2). The innovation mostly founded in the public sectors included process innovation (n = 10), product innovation (n = 7), service innovation (n = 4), and management innovation (n = 4). Therefore, the synthesized results of this research indicate that leadership-for-change style is an important factor and influencing innovations in public organizations.
