LEADERSHIP AS A FACTOR ENHANCING EMPLOYEES’ INVOLVEMENT IN LEARNING ORGANIZATION BASED ON ECONOMIC ENTITY OPERATING IN THE IT INDUSTRY

Abstract

The changes that are taking place today force companies to ask themselves about the quality of leadership in the organization and whether their current activities in this field support their success and development. Organizations, in order to have the chance to succeed in a rapidly changing competitive environment, are forced to introduce new leadership paradigms. In the new environment, a significant part of the company’s success will depend on the commitment of its employees, and hence on the added value they create. Employee engagement is one of the measures to assess the effectiveness of leaders’ actions. In this article, based on a literature review, the concept of learning organization, the essence of engagement and the role of leadership in this type of organization were discussed. In the research part, an attempt was made to verify the empirical leadership in the learning organization and its impact on employee involvement based on economic entity operating in the IT industry.
