| Abstract: | Background: The information age has ushered in a novel economic model known as the information
economy, challenging traditional bureaucratic mechanisms that were primarily seen as tools to mitigate
uncertainty. Within this context, complex leadership emerges as a paradigm that thrives on systemic
interactions and intricate dynamics. Here, the onus lies on establishing the framework and conditions that
empower the adaptive essence of leadership to flourish.
Purpose: The aim of this research is to establish a framework for optimal leadership management,
uncovering previously unexplored factors shaping employee work behavior. By identifying and defining key
components within management mechanisms that greatly enhance employee performance, the objective is to
cultivate rooted and effective management practices.
Study design/methodology/approach: The research involved 480 respondents from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds and companies. Complexity leadership was assessed using the Complexity
Leadership Scale, measuring Generative and Administrative leadership. Employee cooperation was evaluated
with the Scala Supportive and Non-Controlling Supervision. Statistical methods included multiple regression,
Pearson correlation, t-tests, and MANOVA.
Findings/conclusions: The evaluation shows that both Generative and Administrative leadership are
moderately expressed. Generative leadership positively correlates with Supportive and Non-Controlling
Supervision, achieving statistically significant results. In contrast, Administrative leadership has negative
correlations with these supervisory styles.
Limitations/future research: The limitations of the research are of a methodological nature and refer to the
sample of employees, according to demographic characteristics and company characteristics. Also,

questionnaires based on self-assessment most often imply a certain number of socially desirable answers.
Future research should include a larger sample to improve external validity and ensure that the empirical
evidence obtained is variable across a range of organizational settings. |
