Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
To examine the effective leadership behavior for improving employee engagement (task focus, vigor, initiative participation, internalized value, efficacy, and positive persistence) in China hotel industry, the total of 354 samples are collected from full-time employees in 5 service hotels in China by Multiple Employee Engagement Inventory (MEEI) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Results indicated that both transformational and transactional leadership styles positively predict aspects of engagement, but that transformational leadership, the more effective style, has greater predictive strength. Contingent rewarding of transactional leadership is a significant predictor of employee vigor. Intellectual stimulation of transformational leadership is a significant predictor of efficacy and task focus in employee engagement.
