The article supports how the leadership style can play a crucial role in
improving the employee's creativity organization. Besides, the source
articulates how the aspect of self-regulatory focus (SRF) impacts the
employee's creativity attention in any company. To confirm these elements, the
authors tried to carry out an experimental study. During the whole process,
findings were categorized into two sections with the first section comprising
empirical research (N=189) and the other part of the survey consisting of the

Literature Review Resources 3
field study (N= 75 that is both employees and managers of a particular
organization).
From the study, it was evident there was a positive relationship between types
of leadership and aspect of creativity in the organization. The idea is that self-
regulatory focus correlates with the employee's creativity as well as the
leadership style in an organization. The article cites how the SFC will help the
leaders in an organization to deter those actions and practices that can prevent
creativity in an organization. Leaders are the ones determining the creativity of
workers in a company. Through this analogy, it means that leaders have to
reflect positive attributes to employees all the time.

Transactional and transformational leadership have raised the alarm in the field
of leadership research. According to the article, various sources determine the
directional influences that are found between perceptions of managerial

Literature Review Resources 4
behaviors with the multiple aspects of work motivation. Besides, the report
argues that only a few items have tried to elaborate on the contextual impact of
the influences. The study revealed that transformational leadership (TFL)
always leads to better results as compared to transactional leadership strategies
(TSL).
Based on the findings obtained, some of the employees in an organization tend
to relate the leadership behaviors with their motivational principles. The idea is
that TFL all the time refers to the issue of the autonomous motivational
strategies in an organization. On the other hand, the TSL is based on the
controlled principles in the controlled motivational orientations in any
organization. Therefore, the study has concluded that TFL improves controlled
working motivation in any organization. At the same time, the TSL is more on
the organizational situation, whereby it applies when a company is in crisis.

Business culture is very crucial in any organization. The article cites that
organizational culture is fundamental for the success of the business and
performance of the employees. The study carried out by the report reveals the
impacts of corporate culture on the organizational entities. The article
incorporates an analysis of a literature review that thoroughly evaluated
behavioral competency frameworks.
In any organization, there are those values and principles that are used to
develop the organizational culture. According to the article, the whole process
of building a corporate culture is complicated and lengthy. Based on the
literature review analyzed, the approaches to competency modeling in any
company follow various paths and lines. The whole idea is that competency
modeling can be constructed by a job analysis method and also through an in-
depth understanding of the business strategy within the industry.
Culture always affects competencies and behaviors within the company. The
analogy is that all companies ought to demonstrate communication, customer
focus, as well as adaptability. The analogy is that organizations have to invest
more effort into competency modeling, thus building values for business
success.

Intellectual disability is attributed to various aspects, such as communication
impairments. The article summarizes how multiple studies have elaborated on
how training to the direct-care staff affects communication intervention,
especially to adults with intellectual challenges.
To support the aim of the study, the authors used a systematic approach for
analyzing 22 studies. The whole method used elements that were related to
intellectual disability. In particular, 437 staff were used with 254 adults’
participants who had an intellectual disability.
From the findings, it was observed that direct care staff plays a crucial role in
analyzing the intellectual disability aspect of society. The analogy is that direct
staff training helps individuals to learn practical communication skills that are
helpful to adults with intellectual disabilities. Those professionals educating or

training individuals for direct care support have to anticipate a positive outcome
all the time.

The county boards in Ohio supporting the disabilities programs have
experienced significant changes. These changes have enabled the boards to

In New York City, all people depend on direct care professionals (DSPs) for
care and other related services 24 hours. According to the article, the DSPs aim
to ensure all people, including those with disabilities, can access appropriate
services. Most of the people with developments disabilities (DD) and those
individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) needs maximum support all the
time.
Therefore, the article focused on analyzing how effective the DSPs provide
these services to the people in New York. The significant purpose entirely
focused on how NYS DSP competencies in New York relates to the aspect of
morale and job satisfaction. From the findings, it evident that lack of training,
poor communication skills, and lack of confidence reduces core competencies
needed in the provision of these services to people in New York.
In the conclusion section, the article has indicated that organizations have to
focus on how to train DSPs to access NYS DSP skills needed in the
implementation of core competencies. For all these to happen, an organization
has to create an appropriate environment free from strict policies that could

hinder effective communication with individuals with DD/ID in society.

The article cites the importance of business analytic in businesses. The idea is
that business analytics all the time play a fundamental role whereby it aims to
help companies to make decisions that add business value. In today's field of
business, organizations are entirely focusing on predictive analytics. The
analogy is that organizations need to be projective on what is anticipated to
happen in the future.
The study analyzed various literature sources articulating different elements
related to the idea of business analytics. From the findings, it was identified that
prescriptive analytics plays a crucial role in an organization. The idea is that a
rigid method of business analytics is standard, and most of the managers have

Literature Review Resources 13
been applying it all the time. Mangers ought to realize there is no need to
predict what is to happen but to come up with chronological interventions
showing what to do all the time. Through this process, it becomes easy to
project potential risks as well as problems. By following the prescriptive
principles, it will be easy for the managers to mitigate the actions necessary for
business.

Writing literature reviews requires an appropriate procedure. Most of the time,

Literature Review Resources 14
when authors are writing a literature review, they tend to bridge a particular
gap, and this needs systematic steps to be utilized. Therefore, this editorial
aimed to come up with appropriate knowledge indicating the importance of
measures such as planning that communicates relevant aspects necessary for
articulating literature reviews.
Therefore, any systematic literature review ought to start with the research
question. It is then followed by a method that should be used to support the
answer to the research question. The editorial has also advocated on detailed
guidance on how authors should write the systematic literature review (SLR).
First of all, the authors have to realize the rationale for researching the selected
topic. Secondly, authors should recognize it is essential to put more effort into
the literature review analysis. Therefore, by adhering to these elements, it
becomes easy for the authors to come up with well-designed results necessary
for supporting selected research questions.
