Diversity-oriented leadership: understanding the relation with knowledge sharing among public employees

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Researchers explored “diversity-oriented leadership” (DOL) in public organisations, particularly in Vietnam, and how it relates to knowledge sharing (KS) through the lens of transparent internal communication (TIC) and internal social network use (ISU). The findings revealed that diversity-oriented leadership positively impacts knowledge sharing through the mediating mechanism of transparent internal communication. In addition, internal social network use moderates the link between diversity-oriented leadership and knowledge sharing. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
