| Tiivistelmä: | Navigating organizations through a changing environment is essential in leadership. Thus, innovativeness has proven to be crucial to strategic competitiveness (Yukl, Leadership in Organizations, 1998). This skill is particularly needed when the company encounters the unique challenges of a religious organization. The existence of innovation and the dependencies encouraging or restricting it in this environment remain largely unknown. For a sample of 250 religious organizations in five geographical areas this article explores the effect of the leader tenure on the degree of organizational innovation. A discussion of variance for innovative strategy use across the three tenure groups was significant, F (2, 247) = 6.08, p < 0.01, which implies innovation variation across the three levels of leader tenure. Post hoc analysis indicated the low tenure leadership group being associated with lower levels of innovation than the other groups. This article has strong implications for implementation of leadership development and strategic management of the raising number of socially conscious organizations and organizations containing large volunteer components. |
