Conceptualizing Leadership Behaviors and Its Relationship With Competitive Advantage: A Perspective of RMG Bangladesh

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between leadership behaviors and competitive advantage. It is important to study leaders’ behavior as leadership plays a vital role like how mangers are leading their team and how their leadership style is affecting the firm’s performance. Leaders help to enhance the performance of an employee. Literature review highlighted that leadership behaviors have been addressed duly and they emerged as a separate theme from the literature. However, they have not been conceptualized into a comprehensive framework, which is addressed in this study. Therefore, the present study has developed a conceptual model indicating the relationship between different leadership behaviors, emotional intelligence and competitive advantage. The model has been developed for the Bangladesh’s RMG industry due to the paucity of research on leadership behaviors in the industry
