| Summary: | Leaders are widely exhorted to espouse vision, but very little is known about how effective visions are
characterized and realized. Extending previous research, the present study tests a proposed vision theory
in Thai apparel retailers, taking into consideration effects from vision communication, organizational
alignment and motivation of staff.
Visions characterized by brevity, clarity, abstractness, challenge, future orientation, stability and
desirability or ability to inspire are directly predictive of enhanced customer satisfaction and indirectly
predictive of enhanced staff satisfaction. Such visions and their being communicated are directly
predictive of increased motivating behavior among store managers, in turn positively affecting staff and
customer satisfaction. Organizational alignment is indirectly predictive of enhanced staff and customer
satisfaction. |
